Settings rework

Problems:

• You cannot deliver the same assessment/assignment in Samigo with different settings for different groups (individuals who need extentions or different time limits, groups that need different settings)
• There are certain dependencies between settings but they are in different collapsed groupings so it is hard to show relationships
• It is hard to scan 14 different groups of settings for the thing you want; all titles look equally important, even when some are important and others settings are hardly used
• When all the options are expanded it becomes unwieldy--you cannot see them all on screen at the same time, and it is easy to lose track.
• You cannot add overrides within the same assessment; if you want to give slightly different settings to a group or individual, you need to republish another instance of the assessment. This becomes a problem when tracking items in gradebook.

Solution:

First draft below, see child pages for second draft details

• Larger groupings of settings; as much as possible, show settings that are interdependent in the same grouping

• Only show settings when relevant

• Accordion shows only one grouping at a time, since it is impossible to view multiple groups of settings together on the same screen 
• Expose the most relevant grouping by default: Availability and Submissions
• Use pulldowns, rather than radio buttons, to keep selectable options more compact so more can be viewed on screen at a time

Unknowns 

• Have not gone into enough detail to see how this will address some of the other settings issues
