The white text Originality Report is in the black rectangle box. Below this box, the Enable SafeAssign is enabled and the allow students to view the SafeAssign Originality Report for their attempts is turn on.

We normally recommend that you leave Exclude submissions from the institutional and Global Reference Database turned off in less this assignment is truly a draft assignment. If this assignment's title has the work Draft in it and it only has one attempt and they will be submitting their final work to a different assignment then you want to turn on Exclude submissions from the institutional and Global Reference Database. This way you and the student will have access to the SafeAssign Originality Report. However, the work is not added to RIC's institutional database and the Global Reference Database.
