Database

The database activity module allows the teacher and/or students to build, display and search a bank of record entries about any topic. Default display templates are created automatically, but can be modified by the instructor for more advanced features.

1. After turning on editing, Choose Database from the Activities section of the Add an Activity or resource menu.
   
   
2. On the database settings, fill in the required items, which are designated with a red exclamation and make any needed adjustments to other settings. You can expand all of the sections at one time, but clicking on Expand All in the upper-right corner of the window. After you are satisfied with your settings, click on Save and display to define the fields.
3. You will be taken to a database definition page. Items listed horizontally are tabs to other pages. Click on the Fields tab to move to the field page. Create a field by choosing a field type from the  Create a field menu. Add as many fields as needed.
   
4. Your database is now ready to have content added. Return to the course page and click on the database link. To add content, click on the Add Entry tab. As more and more content is added, use the search features and single and view lists to display the content contained in the database.
