• Valid from, Expires at: It is possible to set a deadline to each assignment, when they are going to be collected automatically. This allows for writing exams on the lecture.
• Course codes: Course codes can be assigned by the administrators

By default at submission/collection of assignments the folders won't disappear from the students' working directory and it is possible to submit/collect them again at a later time.
