Short Description: Learn where to set up quizzes. This guide clarifies what goes in Global Settings (defaults, rankings) vs. Specific Settings (per-quiz rules).
To give you full control over the quiz experience, GFoundry's settings are managed in two distinct areas. Understanding the difference is essential for configuring your quizzes exactly as you intend.
Global Settings: The foundational rules and defaults that apply to all quizzes across the platform.
Specific Settings: The unique customizations and behavioral rules for a single quiz inside a course.
Global Settings: Platform-Wide Defaults and Rankings
This is where you establish the standard foundation for how all quizzes will behave on your platform. Any new quiz you create will inherit these rules by default.
Where to find them: Navigate to Learn > Quiz Settings from the main backoffice menu.
What you configure here:
Default Game Rules: Define the standard number of levels, questions per level, and time limit per question for each of the four game modes.
Default In-Game Scoring: Set the standard points awarded for a correct answer, speed bonuses, and level completion multipliers.
Default Player Helps: Configure the standard availability and cost for in-game helps like "More Time" or "Remove Wrong Answer".
Global Ranking Points: Set the high-level points awarded to the main leaderboards for winning or completing each game mode.
Specific Settings: Customizing an Individual Quiz
These settings allow you to tailor the experience of a single quiz, making it unique. You can find them inside the Quiz Block on the Content Management page of any "Learn Content" item.
What you configure here:
Active Game Modes: Choose which of the four game modes are enabled for this quiz only.
Custom Appearance: Upload a unique background image to give this quiz a specific look and feel.
Quiz Behavior: Use the toggles in the "General Settings" area to control how this quiz operates:
Explain Wrong/All Answers Immediately: Decide if users should see explanations after each question.
Enable Question Timeout: Enforce the time limit per question (using the time set in Global Settings).
Enable Team Rankings: Choose to show team-based leaderboards instead of individual ones on the quiz preview.
Paid Quiz: Mark this specific quiz as requiring a form of payment or in-game currency to access.
