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.

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…
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…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
