- Click on Configuration and then select Scope Settings
- You can enable Panorama for courses by selecting one of the following options:
- All Active Courses: A D2L course is considered active when students or instructors visit it or if all the following conditions are met: the course has been created in the last year, has a start date in the last year, and an end date that is not in the past.
- Selected D2L Organization Units Only: Courses within selected D2L organizations will have Panorama enabled.
- Selected Courses Only: Add the desired courses for which Panorama will be enabled.

Issue Settings
Each institution has its own interpretation of how document accessibility should be handled. For this reason, D2L admins can customize several settings to determine how accessibility scores are calculated.
- Launch the Panorama Platform from D2L Brightspace or from your custom Panorama URL.
- Click on Configuration and then select Issue Settings. You can select the following tabs to adjust settings for how Panorama calculates accessibility scores.
- Scoring Rubric: The scoring rubric determines the accessibility scores of documents based on a specific set of criteria. You can select from one of six different rubrics to apply across your institution.
- Severity Weight: Each severity level (Minor, Major, and Severe) can be customized to influence the overall accessibility score of the document.
- Severity Level: Each document can have its severity levels (Minor, Major, and Severe) adjusted for accessibility issues.
- Severity Threshold: select the smallest font size that Panorama will not flag as an accessibility issue.
