## Settings

Be sure to click **Save** after changing these settings.

### Name (required)

The name of the course. The course name can be up to 100 characters long.

### Course ID

An identifier for the course.

The Course ID must be unique within the account.

### Status

Indicates whether the course is active or inactive:

- Active - Active courses are available to learners.
- Inactive - Inactive courses are not visible or accessible to learners.

- Refer to [Editing a Course's Status](/v1/docs/inactivating-a-course) for more information.
- Courses associated with a [SKU](/v1/docs/variant-main#sku-required-if-ecommerce-setting-is-enabled) may not be made inactive.
- Courses [associated with a requirement](/v1/docs/editing-a-blocks-courses) may not be made inactive or archived. To change the status of a course associated with a requirement to *Inactive* or *Archived*, you will need to first [remove the course from the requirement](/v1/docs/editing-a-blocks-courses#removing-a-course-from-a-block).

### Default Price

This setting is only available when the [account's Enable PayPal setting](/v1/docs/account-integrated-ecommerce#enable-paypal) is checked.

The currency symbol displayed will depend on the [account's Currency setting](/v1/docs/account-integrated-ecommerce#currency).

Enter the default price for the course. You can change the price at the [group level](/v1/docs/group-courses#override-default-price).

### Course Length

The estimated number of minutes to complete the course.

### SCORM Package

Before uploading the SCORM package, be sure to remove special characters and spaces from its file name. Refer to [SmarterU File Uploads](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/smarteru-file-uploads-1#courses-scorm-course) for file specifications.

Click **Upload SCORM/PPT** to upload a .ZIP file of your SCORM package.

We recommend not making any other changes on the workscreen until the file has completed uploading. The [Window Size & Properties button](/v1/docs/scorm-package-properties) will not be enabled until after you upload your SCORM package and click **Save**.

The amount of time it takes to complete the conversion can vary. If the course remains in conversion for an extended period of time, please contact our [Success Desk](mailto:success@neovation.com) and provide them with your account name and course name.

If you upload a .PPT file, you will receive an [email when SmarterU has converted the presentation to a SCORM course](/v1/docs/system-email-templates-course-emails-online-and-scorm#scorm-conversion-notification-success).

- If you upload a PowerPoint file to a new course, the course status will be set to *Archived* until the file conversion is complete. This is done to prevent the course from being edited and prevent users from being enrolled. If you upload a PowerPoint file to an existing course, the status is unchanged and the previous SCORM package will be used for any enrollments until the conversion is complete.
- Refer to [Editing a SCORM Course](/v1/docs/editing-a-scorm-course) for information on what learners will see when the .ZIP file is updated.

### Description (required)

A description of your course.

You can use the [WYSIWYG editor](/v1/docs/wysiwyg-editor) to format the description. Not all options listed on the [WYSIWYG Editor](/v1/docs/wysiwyg-editor) page are available in the Course Information workscreen.

### Enable Discussions

This setting is only available when the [account's **Enable Discussions** setting](/v1/docs/account-settings#enable-discussions) is checked.

Check to enable [discussions](/v1/docs/learner-interface-about-course-discussions) for the course.

### Flag Course as New/Updated

Check to display the new course icon (![](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/New%20Course%2020210813.png)) on the [learner interface's course pages](/v1/docs/courses-1).

### New/Updated Course Status Expires On

This setting is only available when the [**Flag Course as New/Update** setting](/v1/docs/scorm-course-main#flag-course-as-newupdated) is checked.

The last date that the new course icon (![](https://cdn.document360.io/7efaadab-fef6-4186-806a-2ca14c9ce9ea/Images/Documentation/New%20Course%2020210813.png)) displays on the [learner interface's course pages](/v1/docs/courses-1). The default is 30 days from the current date.
