What is a Sign-On Rule?

A Sign-On Rule reduces the likelihood of roster and sign-on errors and helps to protect data integrity. It does this by dictating the format of acceptable participant identifiers and providing a precise sign-on prompt for participants. For example, suppose a school uses the email domain, perts.net. The Sign-On Rule could indicate that all identifiers must end with @perts.net and the sign-on prompt would read, “Enter your email address ending with @perts.net.” If a participant entered, “abc@perts,” they would not be able to access the survey.


A Sign-On Rule is especially recommended when a Roster is unlocked and can be applied to an individual Class/Group or in bulk for an entire Community.

 

Note: The Ruler icon in the Class/Group Card will appear with a dark background when enabled and white background when disabled.
