NOTE: This guide assumes that you have first created a Submitty server using Ansible following the Installation using Ansible instructions.
Steps to Create a Term
-
Navigate to the
ansible directory
in your Submitty installation:cd .setup/asnible
-
There is a playbook available named
submitty_course_creation.yml
. This playbook contains the necessary roles to create a new term in Submitty. You can edit this file to specify the details of the term you want to create.**Remember: The term should be an abbreviated semester name like:
s24
. The start and end date must be formatted in mm/dd/yyyy format. -
Run the playbook using the following command:
ansible-playbook -i inventory/submitty playbooks/submitty_course_creation.yml
This command will start the term creation process. Ansible will display the progress in the terminal.
-
Once the process is complete, your new term should be available in Submitty.
**For a more detailed step-by-step guide on creating a course, you can refer to the Term Creation instructions.
**If you wish to understand the individual tasks that are performed during the course creation process, you can examine the tasks defined under the
submitty_term_creation
