Re: How to implement personal view change to All org Unit (for Grades)
I appreciate your reply.
I did a quick test and found that if you activate the CVB d2l.Tools.Grades.GradesList.ShowGradeScheme (UserOrgUnit ). This change will affect the default for all orgs sharing the instance.
I suggest you try this in your test environment before making changes on your Prod site.
I hope this is helpful.
Sincerely,

Graded assignments won't show proficiency scale unless you put in a point
I spent my entire weekend marking (using the proficiency scale/learning standards). Since the province is moving away from grades and points, it seemed superfluous to use the old rubrics with points embedded into the assignments from last year. Today I opened my gradebook to see that ALL the assignments I marked do not show up as marked...even though I added comments and used the learning standards/proficiency scale.
Is there NO way to bulk edit this quickly? The bulk edit feature doesn't show the proficiency scale unless I put in a mark. So now I have to go in manually and adjust hundreds of assignments. This seems like so much extra work for teachers. How does Brightspace not have an option to eliminate points if the province and the country are moving away from them? So far I am finding D2L to be highly teacher-unfriendly. Especially when it comes to assessment.
Re: How to access the time spent by a learner on each question while giving a quiz?
Hi Dibyanshu, thanks for reaching out to the Community!
You should be able to get this information from the 'Attempt Logs' area of Quizzes, and then navigating to the "Detailed" tab to get information about the time details for learners responding to Quiz questions.
I hope this helps!
Re: how to create a test that selects a few questions from sections of the test bank
Thanks for reaching out to Community!
To have the quiz select 2 questions from a subset of questions, you'll want to create a Question Pool. It is here that you can select questions from the Question Library, choose the questions to be involved in the pool, and decide the number of questions to select (2 of 6, etc.) You'll want to create the pool first, before adding questions to the quiz. As well, if you do not have quiz questions in your Question library area, you can create them first or import questions from quizzes you have already created.

Re: Discussion posts hidden from students when created in Content tool as a new forum?
@Beth.P.669 I have not received any specific feedback on this, and am unable to find any documentation in the Known or Fixed Issues List. It isn't helpful, but I have just had to make sure that my faculty are aware and I encouraged them all to choose an existing "general" forum for any discussion topics they create.
Re: Datahub - Brightspace Datasets
Hi,
Thanks for the clarification. What's the role that you are checking with?
I can definitely the User Logins BDS as D2L Support but I get different results with different roles.
For example, Super Administrator role is missing the following permission
Thanks, Iwona
Re: New Experience - files uploaded to content
I appreciate your inquiry.
As you have noticed, files uploaded into content, regardless of the file format, display as PDFs. This is a default setting that cannot be modified.
I suggest adding instructions that learners would have to download templates.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Re: Possible to isolate data of users with specific attributes? (Postman API)
Hi Philina,
As you have noted there is no API call you can make to retrieve ann the attribute data published for all users. Rather you can retrieve the User Attribute Values Brightspace Data Set to return a list of all values for all defined user attributes for each user in your organization. See
The Brightspace DataSets and Advanced data sets can be requested using the API. See
The following GitHub resource is a demonstration of how to retrieve data from Brightspace via the Data Hub APIs
Hope that helps!
