\label{Parameter Manager}
The Parameter Manages allows you to control settings for your course and 
your resources.

>From this screen, you can set the course environment parameters\ref{Course_Environment}, such as who receives feedback messages\ref{Course_Feedback_Addresses}, 
how grading is done\ref{GradingOptions}, etc. You can also set which cataloging metadata users can associate with their portfolio files.

Many course coordinators will make extensive use of setting parameters for problems, in particular problems. There are a number of modes available. The easiest is probably the helper mode\ref{Parameter_Helper}, which guides you through the process. Once you have some experience with the system, you might use the overview\ref{Parameter_Overview} and table modes\ref{Table_Mode} more frequently. Several of these actions can be partially automated by setting Parameter Setting Default Actions.

For setting problem parameters, another convenient mode outside the Parameter Manager is navigating to the problem and using the PPRM (Problem Parameter) button\ref{Problem_Parameters).

Finally, you can list all parameters that have already been set in overview mode, and see a log of all changes.
