Is there anything in the works for an admin 'master' Calendar to be used inside of Catalog similar to what's used inside of the LMS? Consisting of things such as enrollment count, course dates/times, description, cost, etc.?? In our thinking it would be a tool specifically for admins in catalog.
At InstructureCon this year there was considerable discussion about creating multiple listings for one course based on different sections in the course. I see this is on the idea board, and I heard that this was in active development, so I am curious if this is actually the case and if there is an eta for when this might…
Is it possible to create a conditional question? We want to ask a question and give several possible multiple-choice answers, but have the last option be "other" with a fill-in-the-blank for what that other option may be. How can that be done? This is an ungraded survey in Catalog designed to collect demographic data,…
Currently, the listings filters only allow filtering by Listing Creation Date. Is there a way to filter by course's start or end dates instead? In our case, listings are created at various times, but we track revenue and enrollment by academic term/semester (which, I can specify using date ranges on course dates), not by…
My institution's Canvas Catalog environment has some custom CSS and JS at the main/root catalog level. We're still using jQuery but not using anything deprecated, thus it is compatible with 3.7.1. This morning, we're noticing the script is not executing, and the issue is sporadic. Sometimes it loads normally upon a hard…
We have had several failed enrolments caused (on most occasions) by system outages. Unfortunately we only find out because the learner complains - although this prompts a search for others which we can be proactive for. Reporting is needed to identify these learners who have commenced an order but have failed to enrol. We…
I do see that one can gift a course using bulk enrollments, but it would help if this were more user-friendly. It is unclear to users what a "bulk enrollment" means and how to use it as a gift. Can there be a simple "Gift This Course" label and feature, along with a short video tutorial on how to use the Gift This Course…
We have a large number of courses that we report on every 6 months. We need to report on the number of enrollments in a course during the reporting period as well as the completions. Using the Canvas API, the get enrollments list returned a number of enrollments ~2 enrollments off from the number reported in Catalog…
We use several custom UDF's to obtain relevant information from our students. However, if a student makes a mistake when completing a UDF, let's say it's a license number, there doesn't appear to be a way for either the student or subcatalog admin to fix it. Is there such a way?
When getting data from Catalog (either to verify clinical users onto appropriate courses or as a bulk to process the data through Power BI) I would go Catalog > Analytics > Users, then close the monthly filter and then export the CSV and then use the emailed CSV. This could happen every day and is time consuming and a bit…
