Hi Everyone! In this guide, I’ll be giving a tour on our new Settings tab that can be found inside your classes. This can be helpful to fully customize how your class works.
To get there, click on this blue link: Typesy and click on the name of your class.
You will then be moved to the Class Overview Interface. From here, click on Settings.
The default section in Settings is set as General. You’ll notice that each one of the options here will have a toggle button. This is a way for you to turn it ON (BLUE) or OFF (WHITE).
To know more about what each of the options are for, you may hover your mouse on the (?) icon beside it. I’ll put each one’s description here as well, so you can have a better idea on the options available, and what it is for.

The Global option, when selected will display the global hall of fame data for the weeks. This pertains to the point totals of all Typesy EDU users around the globe. This provides a fun perspective for the students to see where they may rank globally.
The Class option displays the results only within your class. This is the option that would be preferred if you are interested in only putting up a comparison amongst your particular class. This will not post the data from any other classes or other schools.
