Hello,
Hope your day is going well.
When I run the attendance report, it sends an email; however, I am unable to open the file. It says the page is not working HTTP error 500.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Attendance reports when downloaded and sent to your email have a 6 hour expiration time frame. Is it possible that you downloaded the report but attempted access post the 6 hour window?
A HTTP error 500 usually means a server disconnection of some sort. Likely due to internet connection or limited access to a particular content item. You can try clearing the cookies and cache for the browser you are using. Or try using a totally different browser altogether. Then try downloading the file and immediately open the link sent to your email.

When I ran this in my own sandbox course, I got the report sent to my e-mail almost immediately. The body of the e-mail contained a super long URL filled with numbers and letters. But, I clicked on the link, and it downloaded a *.csv file to my computer which I could open in MS Excel.
If you continue to have difficulties with this, I'd suggest contacting the Canvas Help Desk staff. How do I get help with Canvas as an instructor?
I hope this will be of help to you. Sing out if you have other questions about this.

Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
