The Settings menu allows you to configure the settings for a class. It also comes with some predefined settings that you can use as is or customize. See .

Configuring settings for Block Applications, Web Filtering, and Disable Drives will automatically force Student computers to enter Focus mode after they have been applied to the class.

Students that are in Focus mode will be displayed on the Teacher console with a red frame around the thumbnail.

To view or edit these restrictions, navigate to the Settings drop-down menu and click the Settings icon next to the setting. Alternatively, hover your mouse on the computer name of the Student thumbnail and click Go to Settings., or click the restrictions warning at the bottom of the screen and click Go to Settings.
