Navigation in FELIX - tabs, bookmarks and lists

FELIX 00-030

What you need to know

This helpcard provides general information on navigating FELIX, in particular on the individual tabs. Some tabs, such as “Groups” and “Courses”, are visible to everyone, others, such as “Authoring area” and “Question pool”, are only available to those with speical permissions (e.g. authoring rights). Staff members, professors, and adjunct instructors can request these permissions from FELIX support (felix-support(at)hs-furtwangen.de).

What you have to do

  1. "Start" tab
    The  “Home page” contains general information and opens by default after you log in successfully.

  2. "Courses" tab
    The “Courses” tab gives you access to all the courses in which you are a participant.

    • Under the “Search” tab, you will find all available courses.

      • Search by course title (e.g., “Business Administration”) or the last name of the instructor/course coordinator.
      • If necessary, use wildcards, e.g., *business
      • Use filters (e.g., Author).

      If the course still does not appear, it may not have been published yet or may not be accessible to you.
      In this case, please contact the instructor or course coordinator directly.

  3. "Groups" tab
    Here you will find all the FELIX groups of which you are a member. In the “Role” column, you can also see what role (e.g., owner, supervisor or participant) you have in each group.
    In this case, please contact the instructor or course coordinator directly.

    • Using the search function (the last tab on the right), you can only find groups in which you have a role.

      If you can't find a group you should be a member of, ask the group administrator for access to the group.

  4. “Catalog” tab

    In the catalog, you will find all the courses available to you in FELIX. Use the search field at the top to enter the course title or the name of the instructor. For more information, see Internal link opens in the same window:Searching for a course over the catalog (Helpcard FELIX-00-031).

  5. “Authoring area,” “Coaching,” “Question pool,” and “Projects” tab

    All of the tabs listed above can only be viewed and used in FELIX if the user has the appropriate permissions.

  6. Add to bookmarks

    Use the Bookmark feature to add a course or group to your favourites.

    • Open your course and click “My course” in the upper-right corner.

    • Select “Bookmark” to add this course to the “Favorites” list in the current tab (Courses, Groups, Authoring area).

  7. Configure lists

    In the overviews (course/group lists), you can use the gear icon (above the table on the right) to customise the table, for example, to show the semester and hide “Start/End”.
