Course Upload - increment shortname

这个讨论区有规定周期内发帖数的限制，它被设置为 1天内最多发 3 个帖子。

When uploading courses, under Upload Mode, I found a choice for "Create all, increment shortname if needed" (see attachment). Can anyone tell me what this option means and what the effect of choosing it would be?

Many thanks.

Hi Carol

This setting means a new course is created even if the same shortname exists .

The new course will have a shortname with a numbers added to it , For example if the shortname testcourse exists and the file contains this then the course will be added as testcourse1

Thanks, Craig. Why do you think anyone would use that option? Just wondering. ;-)

Hi Carol

I don't know the history of why but someone with a lot of courses with similar short names may not be aware of existing shortnames and want to safeguard existing courses being updated by mistake.
