Learning Paths

Defaults and behaviour of the Learning Paths tool — autostart, default view, prerequisites, SCORM behaviour and similar.

Access these settings under Administration > Configuration settings > Learning Paths. This category contains 51 settings, listed below with the title and comment shipped in the platform's settings fixtures (SettingsCurrentFixtures.php).

The variable name in code is shown in monospace. Use it when scripting via the API or when you need to change those settings at a global level by editing config/settings_override.yaml.
