FELIX 00-030
What you need to know
This helpcard provides general information on navigating FELIX, in particular on the individual tabs. While some tabs, such as “Groups” and “Courses”, are visible to everyone, others, such as “Authoring area” and “Question pool”, are only available to people with authoring rights. These rights can be granted to employees and professors on request by FELIX support (felix-support(at)hs-furtwangen.de).
What you have to do
"Start" tab
The FELIX “Homepage” opens by default, after logging in.On the homepage you will find general information.
"Courses" tab
The “Courses” tab gives you access to all the courses released for you.Under “Search” you will find courses which you are not yet a member of. Enter the course name (e.g. “BWL”) or the name of the teacher.
If the search is unsuccessful:
Use wildcards, e.g. *business.
Use filters (e.g. author) and enter the name of the teacher.
Check whether an active filter restricts your search (“Remove filter” dropdown).If the course still does not appear, it may still be unpublished or not accessible to you. In this case, please contact your teacher directly.
In the list view of the search results, you can use the gear icon to configure the display individually, e.g. show the semester and hide “Start/End”.
“Catalog” tab
In the catalog you will find all courses that are accessible to you in FELIX. Use the search field above to enter the title of the course or the name of the teacher.
"Groups" tab
Here you will find all the FELIX groups of which you are a member. The “Role” column shows which function you have in the group (e.g. owner, supervisor or participant).Click on the flag in front of the group name to bookmark groups as favourites. These are then displayed under "Bookmark" in the tab to the left of "My Groups".
Using the "Search mask" (last tab on the right), you can search for groups in which you have a role.
Under the "Published groups" tab you can find groups that are publicly available for everyone.
If you cannot find a group in which you should be a participant, ask the group coach for access.

Here you will find an overview of your projects, categorised into All, Active, Completed and Deleted.
