Each setting within Circulation has its own permission associated with it. FOLIO community documentation for Settings in the Circulation app includes the permissions required to view and interact with that particular setting. You can assign permissions to users in the Users app.

Implementation considerations

Before you implement the Courses app, make sure you have completed the following:

• Implemented the Inventory app.

• Configured your circulation rules.

• Loaded or created users.

If you are configuring the Courses app for the first time, you need to first set up the following features in the Settings app, if applicable:

• Terms

• Course Types

• Course Departments

• Processing Statuses

• Copyright Statuses

Once you configure the above settings, you can:

• Create courses.

• Add instructors.

• Add cross-listed courses.

• Add reserves to courses.

Integrations

The Courses app can be integrated with these applications:

• EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS)

• VuFind

In addition, you can connect the Courses app to your learning management system using the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) protocol. There is a separate module to install for LTI support. For more information, see Course Reserves - LTI connectivity.

If you are implementing the Courses app with any of these applications, each have their own features to consider in regards to the migration of courses, sections, cross-listings, and separate courses and how they interact with FOLIO.
