Assistant name, type and description

Change the name learners see, switch between course help and admin help, and understand why Settings has no description field.

Written by Romain Morvant

This page shows where to change an assistant's name, how to switch between course help and admin help, and why there is no description to fill in. All of this is on the General tab of Settings.

The General tab of an assistant's Settings, with the Name field under Basic configuration, the Intro & suggestions block, and the Modes section with the Admin assistant card.

Change the name

The name you set here is the name learners see.

  1. Open the assistant, then Settings. Stay on General, the first tab.

  2. Under Basic configuration, edit Name.

  3. When a bar appears, select Save, or Reset to discard.

That name is also the page title, so you can rename from the title on Overview too.

Course or admin

There is no Type field next to the name. Course help or admin help is set with a card in Modes, on the same General tab. Course help is the default. To switch to admin help, use the Admin assistant card.

Admin help is for deadlines, finding your way in the LMS, and FAQs drawn from the resources you upload. When the card is off, it looks dashed; select Add back to turn it on. When Admin is on, it is the only active mode: the others turn off.

There is no Course assistant card. If you want course help again, turn Admin off.

No description field

Settings does not include a description you can type. The prompt on Overview comes from the knowledge base, not from this form.
