Introduction
The Settings & Preferences menu allows educators to manage the system-wide availability and configuration of features. The menu divides the features into two categories, Originality Feature Configuration and Access & Permission Settings.
1. Originality Feature Configuration
Define the system-wide availability and configuration of originality features.
Enable to examine sentences for contextual similarity in overall meaning and idea against matching sources. You can configure the contextual similarity threshold to define the percentage at which sentences are considered contextually similar. By default, the threshold can only be lowered to 50% to prevent broad matches and potentially inaccurate results.
Configure similarity classification thresholds to define the percentage at which sentences are classified as exact match or possibly altered text.
- The Exact Match and Possibly Altered Text classifications use a shared slider interface because they are interconnected.
- Adjusting the maximum percentage for Possibly Altered Text will automatically adjust the minimum percentage for Exact Match. The minimum percentage for Possibly Altered Text can be adjusted independently without affecting Exact Match.
2. Access & Permission Settings
Define system-wide access and permissions settings.
Define whether or not student users can upload documents for pre-checking purposes. Pre-Check allows students to upload their documents and review them for potential originality issues before making a final submission.
Define whether or not received submissions should be stored in the institution’s internal repository of archived submissions.
- When Content Access is set to closed, other institutions using Inspera Originality are restricted from accessing the internal repository of archived submissions for student-collusion checking. Consequently, archived submissions from Institution A cannot be used for collusion checks against those from Institution B.
- When Content Access is set to restricted, other institutions using Inspera Originality are restricted from accessing the internal repository of archived submissions for student-collusion checking. Consequently, archived submissions from Institution A cannot be used for collusion checks against those from Institution B.
- When Content Access is set to open, access to the internal repository of archived submissions or student-collusion checking is automatically granted. As a result, archived submissions from institution A can be used for collusion check against those from institution B and vice versa.
Define whether or not specific personal information, such as names, emails, and more, should be excluded from received submissions and concealed in Originality Reports.
The following options are available for exclusion:
- Person (first name, last name, full name)
- Email addresses
- IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6)
- Geolocation (Country, city, street names, ZIP codes)
- Credit card numbers
- International Bank Account Numbers (IBAN)
- National ID numbers (e.g., passport, driver’s license)
- US Social Security Numbers (SSNs)
- Dates and timestamps (e.g., date of birth)
- URLs (web addresses)
- Medical license numbers
