Create Additional Release Restrictions by clicking Create and Attach. You will see a popup window listing Condition Type and Condition Details.

Click the Condition Type dropdown listing to see the available types of conditions for this news item. Each Condition Type has specific details that will be shown once the type has been selected.

For the purpose of this lesson we will select Score on a Quiz from the Quizzes section of Condition Type.

Note: If you are not utilizing all available tools within Carmen selecting a particular Condition Type that is associated with an unused tool will result in no Condition Details being available.

Once you have selected the appropriate Condition Type click the Condition Details dropdown to select the corresponding option to the type of condition you selected above.

Once you have selected the Condition Details click the Criteria dropdown to select how Carmen will apply the chosen condition type and detail.

Enter the appropriate information for Carmen to be able to apply your chosen release condition Criteria.

Different Condition Details have different Criteria and Information options.

Note: If you are releasing based on a quiz score you must have added an item to the grade book which will hold the score of the quiz. In addition, you must either monitor student quiz activity or have the quiz automatically calculate the grade for this option to work correctly.

Make sure you click Create at the bottom right of the popup window to save your chosen release condition before continuing.

Once you create the release condition you will see it listed in the Additional Release Conditions section. This is your verification you have added a release condition to the news item. Verify that you have added the correct release condition to the news item.

Note: Use release conditions sparringly. Typically adding one release condition is sufficient to restrict student access if you have considered what is the highest level option that will restrict student access. Adding too many release conditions may render your news item unviewable as it may be impossible to satisfy all conditions. Release conditions act as 'and' options, not 'or' i.e., the student must satisfy ALL conditions before being able to view the news item.

Once you have verified your Additional Release Condition(s) ^is/_are correct, click Save at the bottom right of the Add News Item screen. You will see a message just below the Carmen course navigation showing the news item has been saved (date and time).

Note: Create additional news items by clicking Save and New instead of Save. Save and New saves the current news item then opens a new news item with a blank headline.

Once you return to the News listing you should see your News item listed - Carmen Usage for this Course, along with any Availability Options (start/end date), Attachments as well as an Icon to the immediate right of your News title, depending on whether you selected any Restrictions.
