Re: Brightspace Data Sets Updates
I was just checking it out and when I look at a dataset the new navigation is locked at the top when scrolling. (I am using Google Chrome on Win10 PC)
For me. this poses a different issue. having the navigation locked at the top decreases the available real-estate within the browser to view the ERD or the actual data dictionary entry for that dataset. While putting my browser into full screen mode helps, when working, I regularly need to have multiple windows open across multiple monitors and dedicating one of the monitors to a single page is not a very effective use of resources. With the reduced viewing area it is hard to see the 'big picture' in the ERD in order to determine joins and a scroll-athon when looking at the details of datasets when verifying which fields you are interested in.
Out of curiosity, why not put the navigation in tree form in the existing side navigation frame? You could have the list of dataset groups be expandable listing each individual dataset under it so that it links to that area in the page. Another improvement would be to replace the single page for the dataset groups, instead have a page with the full ERD, then have a page for each dataset and then you could include a summary ERD above it to remind one of the context while viewing the information. Just a thought that might solve several issues.
Re: Completed Discussion Showing as Overdue under "Work To Do" Widget
Hello Mayra,
Given that this issue is only occurring for one particular student in your class and they appeared to submit the discussion post prior to the due date I would suggest reaching out to your LMS administrators at your organization who are designated Approved Support Contacts with D2L. They can submit a support case on your behalf and have our Admin Support staff examine the issue.
Re: Reporting and Data Sets for Createspace
Hi @Stephen.R.9819 Thank you. I will investigate the Content Objects and Content Files Properties Log. It sounds like it has most of what we are looking for, although not in a ready and easily usable format. If needed I will create a PIE.

A faculty member wants to change the calendar popup so that the first day of the week is Monday instead of Sunday. Is this possible to change?
Re: Where to find training on the "formula grading system"?
Hi, @J.B.7409.
When we wanted to try out formula grading a couple years ago, I found an external source that has a list of examples and corresponding formulas helpful:

Re: Product Idea Exchange
Hi @Reef.S.970,
Thank you for reaching out to the Brightspace Community.
PIE access problems can be resolved through the following options:
- Ensure that your Community Profile identifies you as a Customer User through the selection of an organization from the drop down list. Please note, typing the name of your school or organization into the field will not connect you with client-only resources like PIE and D2L Academy. These steps show you how to update your profile to connect you: Community FAQ's❓ - Brightspace
- PIE can't be accessed directly. You must login to the D2L Brightspace Community first. Please follow these steps:
- Login to the Brightspace Community.
- Select Product Idea Exchange from the navbar or from the quick link menu found on the Community Homepage.
Let us know if this worked for you!
Link grade item to learning outcome
He everyone,
we have the following situation in our school: via an LTI with an external application a grade from that appliction is sent to the grade book of Brightspace.
Our colleagues want to connect this grade to a learning outcome. Is this possible?

Re: Brightspace Data Sets Updates
The layout change to Data Sets pages makes documentation harder to use, as in more time consuming. With the navigation at the top of the page for each specific data set within a group means scrolling to the top of the page to select a different data set, rather than the previous experience of clicking a link that was always visible.
