* - `Setting`
- Description
* - `Display Name`
- Specifies the name of the problem. This name appears above the problem and in
the course ribbon at the top of the page in the courseware.
* - `custom_parameters`
- Enables you to add one or more custom parameters. For example, if you've added an
e-book, a custom parameter may include the page that your e-book should open to.
You could also use a custom parameter to set the background color of the LTI component.
Every custom parameter has a key and a value. You must add the key and value in the following format.
::
key=value
For example, a custom parameter may resemble the following.
::
bgcolor=red
page=144
To add a custom parameter, click **Add**.
* - `graded`
- Indicates whether the grade for the problem counts towards student's total grade. By
default, this value is set to **False**.
* - `has_score`
- Specifies whether the problem has a numerical score. By default, this value
is set to **False**.
* - `launch_url`
- Lists the URL that Studio sends to the external LTI provider so that the provider
can send back students' grades. This setting is only used if **graded** is set to
**True**.
* - `lti_id`
- Specifies the LTI ID for the external LTI provider. This value must be the same
LTI ID that you entered on the **Advanced Settings** page.
* - `open_in_a_new_page`
- Indicates whether the problem opens in a new page. If you set this value to **True**,
the student clicks a link that opens the LTI content in a new window. If you set
this value to **False**, the LTI content opens in an IFrame in the current page.
* - `weight`
- Specifies the number of points possible for the problem. By default, if an
external LTI provider grades the problem, the problem is worth 1 point, and
a student’s score can be any value between 0 and 1.
For more information about problem weights and computing point scores, see :ref:`Problem Weight`.
