[LON-CAPA-users] Variables in libraries

[Felicia Berryman]

Hi Brew,

I used <import id="IMPORT-ID">

Then, in the spreadsheet, the submissions shows as 
stores_PART-ID_IMPORT-ID_SUBMISSION-ID_submission

I tried using the import id in the $Key definition but couldn't get it 
to work.  Try playing with this though.  It appears you need to use the 
import id to access the submission.
