A set definition file is a text file used to transferring homework set data between WeBWorK courses. It contains all the non-user-specific data pertaining to the homework set.

A set definition file consists of two sections. The first section is a line-based list of set data. The second part is a list of problems in the problem set. Blank lines are ignored, as is anything after a #.

Set data

The set data section starts at the beginning of the file. Each line of the set data section is of the form

fieldName = field value ...

The following fields are recognized:

openDate
The open date (and time) of the set; before this time students will not be allowed to view the set.
dueDate
The due date (and time) of the set; before this time students will not be allowed to submit answers for credit.
answerDate
The answer date (and time) of the set; after this time students will be allowed to view the correct answers and solutions for the problems in the set.
paperHeaderFile
Path to a PG file to use as the hardcopy header for the set. If not present, the course or system default is used. See also: Header Files and Snippets.
screenHeaderFile
Path to a PG file to use as the set header for the set. If not present, the course or system default is used. See also: Header Files and Snippets.

If the homework set is a gateway test, the following fields may also be present:

assignmentType
attemptsPerVersion
timeInterval
versionsPerInterval
versionTimeLimit
problemRandOrder
problemsPerPage
hideScore
hideWork
capTimeLimit

Problem list

The problem list section starts with the line

problemList = 

No value should follow the =. The remainder of the file is interpreted as comma-separated values. Each line represents one problem in the set. The fields are as follows:
