1. How do I configure the Database...
     ...to prevent students making any further changes to an entry, or deleting it?
     ...to encourage a Mentor to respond?


Under construction...


The Pinkas is a Database activity in which one or more of the options in section Advanced features is enabled.
There are three principal options:

• Enable Target users
• Enable Feedback
• Enable Entry types

Any or all can be enabled.
If Target users is enabled, additional options appear below it and most options in section Entries disappear.
Each of the options has several satellite options.

How do I configure the Database...
...to prevent students making any further changes to an entry, or deleting it?
If Target users is enabled:

• If Enable submission to set to Yes, the entry is submitted as soon as it is saved. It cannot be further changed.
• If set to Optional, an entry can be either saved or submitted. A submitted entry cannot be further changed.
• If set to No, the student can continue to change the entry, but not after it has been approved or rejected, or feedback has been supplied (unless, of course, Allow editing of approved or rejected entries or entries with feedback is set to Yes).

Otherwise, if Target users is not enabled, then if Approval required is set to Yes and Allow editing of approved entries is set to No, approved entries cannot be further changed.
...to encourage a Mentor to respond?
If any of an entry's Target users is a Mentor (or Supermentor), and option Notify target user set for that field, then the Target user is notified when the entry is submitted or, if submission is disabled, when the value of the field is changed.
