Collaborate with the Community to ask questions and get helpful answers on a variety of Canvas Catalog topics.
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…
Please, are there any assignments due tomorrow September 7?
Does anyone know if the learner transcript is customizable? I'm assuming no but I wanted to ask anyway in case someone figured out a way. It would be great if we could include the name of the business/institute on it instead of just the logo (which I assume the transcript pulls from the Catalog theme). We have a learner…
In the Instructure Data Access Platform, when querying the Namespace: Catalog, the orders table, there is a column called "source". The distinct values from my full data pull are: "bulk_purchase", "live_event", "enrollment", "shopping_cart", and "invitation_code" I understand "bulk_purchase" and "shopping_cart", but I'm…
I have a client who bulked purchased seats for a catalog course. They invited people in their organization to this course. A person enrolled and then realized they couldn't do the course at this time. The client wants to have the seat still available to them to give to someone else. The Problem: I removed the person from…
We have had Canvas Credentials for some time but have only recently turned on the Canvas LMS integration so that the badges will display on our Catalog. I have added a badge to a course that has a listing on Catalog but it is not showing on our Catalog! I have enabled the Credentials feature on both the Root and…
I decided to try out Nudging. I have a test course in Canvas with 2 assignments (one quiz, one file submission). No modules. Removed course dates and deleted any existing sections. Created a listing for it with 14 days to completes and then enrolled with my gmail address. Had our director of ID do the same. Created a nudge…
I have gone into my account settings a changed administrative notifications to "Notify immediately", after doing this I had a coworker enroll in a catalog listing for a canvas course using a promocode we made to bypass payment for testing. I never received a notification. I typically get a notice from Microsoft when…
