Important notice
Currently, grades for the MUMIE Tasks are only updated when they are displayed in the Moodle gradebook (e.g. the course's grader report is viewed or the student opens his own gradebook). This means that we cannot guarantee that all grades are up-to-date, when they are accessed by other means than the one described above.

FAQ
Why are the drop down menus for MUMIE servers, MUMIE courses and MUMIE exercises empty?
Before you can add any MUMIE task, you need to add a valid MUMIE server. Check the section How to add a new MUMIE Task to a course for reference.
Why are not all grades up-to-date?
Currently, grades for the MUMIE Tasks are only updated when they are displayed in the Moodle gradebook (e.g. the course's grader report is viewed or the student opens his own gradebook).
Why is the automatic completion status of a MUMIE Task not updated?
The automatic completion status depends on the MUMIE Task's grade. Please read Why are not all grades up-to-date? for more information.
Why is there no button to add MUMIE servers?
If there is no button, the administrator has disabled this option.
Why is Max Grade always displayed as 100 in the gradebook setup even though it was set it to another value?
This is an old bug. It was patched in MUMIE Task v1.3.5. We decided not to fix this automatically for older MUMIE Tasks because it could potentially interfere with gradebook consistency. If you want your older MUMIE Tasks to display the correct max grade, all you need to do is open your MUMIE Task, make sure that the max grade is set to the desired value and click save.
