Does anyone know the secret to dragging and dropping items in Agenda View?

Hi folks, When I move a reminder around on the Calendar, regardless of where that reminder is, the screen refreshes to the top of the page. It's a time-waster that adds up. And I prefer the Agenda view but can't drag and drop in that view. Have any of you tech-savvy hacker-types decoded the secret message for doing this? (...or perhaps read deeper into the training manuals than I have :^( Thanks for any advice you might have

Hello @hshaw1

When testing within the Calendar Agenda view, I am not able to drag and drop. It looks like this is a limitation of the Agenda View of the Calendar unfortunately.

I find it disingenuous that you claim the problem is solved by saying that you don't have a solution. It's not resolved on the part of the user. You didn't even offer a logical explanation for why this function is impossible. If you'd spent the time that we do wasting inordinate amounts of time on silly clicking and scrolling, you (in the company sense) might be more inclined to solve the problems.

Hi @chriscas, Thank you for responding. Your explanation of the problem of the agenda view does indeed help me understand the bigger picture of what makes it problematic to make the change. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I think clear communication is valuable. Having an explanation makes "No" much more understandable and palatable. Thank you again. All the best, Heidi

New Speedgrader UI Showing Student Names
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled.

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
