Use the built-in system values as variables

Möbius has some built-in system variables that are available to be used in questions.

The following variables are available to be used:

  • $de_mobius_school_name — Returns the name of the current Möbius site, as seen in the title bar of your browser tab or on the login page.

  • $de_mobius_tenant_id — Returns a unique ID corresponding to the current Möbius site.

  • $de_mobius_date — Returns the current date at the time of viewing the question.

  • $de_mobius_student_id — Returns the Global ID corresponding to the user currently viewing the question.

  • $de_mobius_student_first_name — Returns the First Name corresponding to the user currently viewing the question.

  • $de_mobius_student_last_name — Returns the Last Name corresponding to the user currently viewing the question.

  • $de_mobius_student_full_name — Returns the Full Name corresponding to the user currently viewing the question.

  • $de_mobius_student_email — Returns the Email Address corresponding to the user currently viewing the question.

Like algorithmic variables defined in the Algorithm section of a question, these system variables can be referenced elsewhere in the Algorithm section.

These system variables can also be used in:

  • Answer fields or grading code fields of any response area

  • Question text and hints

  • Feedback for the full question, or for a student response component
