Submission Versions in Data Access Platform
We've been using the Data Access Platform for a couple of weeks now to manage our Canvas data in our own data warehouse and overall have been having a great experience with the tool!

Starting to utilize Redshift
Hi, We are looking at utilizing our Redshift data but we lost our SMEs that knew more about it. We were wondering if there's a school that would be willing to talk to us about your setup experience, usage, and how things are currently going. We're all very new so any information would be helpful. Thanks, Justin Reynolds…

Please update discussion_topics__discussion_type
The discussion_topics__discussion_type enumeration does not include the "not_threaded" value added as part of the Discussion Redesign feature. I believe the discussions with this value are currently showing as '__dap_unspecified__', and I would like to request that the enumeration be updated to include the new value.

Sub-Account Settings in CD2?
As far as I can tell there currently isnt a way to get the account settings using Canvas Data 2 but I would love to be corrected. I can see that the genuine Canvas backend has a feature_flag table for this as well as a settings column in the accounts table, neither of which are available in canvas data 2. Is there another…

Quiz and Assignment Settings Report
We are looking for a way to create a report showing all the settings selected for quizzes and assignments in a spreadsheet. We are finding that when we create multiple quizzes or assignments, we sometimes miss enabling certain settings every time (i.e. multiple attempts or a time limit). This creates inconsistencies in the…

I'm trying to see if students bother to look at the responses I give on the discussion board after their participation deadline. As a result, I've exported the course activity via 'New Analytics'. In the "Content Type" column of the csv file I download, Canvas differentiates between "course.discussions" and…

What exactly is the CD2 migration_id and how is it meant to be used?
Problem I've noticed there are entries in most course content items for a migration_id. My assumption was this was a way to join with the content_migrations table, but the id in that table doesn't match the format of the migration_id. What I'm Trying to Do I'd first off just like to understand what the migration_id and…

Did Canvas Logging used to be better ? Cannot see what a teacher deleted or edited
A disgruntled teacher when through and deleted a bunch of stuff from a bunch of courses. I need to be able to answer this question, and seemingly cannot due to inadequate Canvas logging. "What did a faculty person delete, from where, and when"? If anyone knows something I'm missing I'd love to learn. Here's my complaints…
