Info
titlePlaceholders disabled

It is normal to be able to access and view the placeholders DataGrid even if placeholders have been disabled on your platform. This is to allow training administrators like you to view and manage any existing placeholders before they are disabled.


In addition, when you are in the shopping basket, you will notice that you are required to select a delegate name. (Please see below)
