Awards configuration variables

In the Config Variable Browser, in the Tools > Awards area, the d2l.Tools.Awards variables are enabled by default at an organization level.

Features of the tool can be turned off for specific courses. If you set an Org value that is not the same as the System value, the Org value overwrites the System value. You can choose to not use the Awards tool functionality during the process of course creation.
