Is there a way to set prerequisites for a course in Brightspace?
We let students self-enroll in courses via the Discover tool. In Brightspace, is there a way to set up Course B so that users can't enroll in it unless they have already completed Course A? In the Discover settings, I see we can set up enrollment rules based on user attributes, and we can set approvers. But there doesn't…

How to use a form template in the course content?
I've read the documentation that tells me a form template I create can be added to the content of my course by selecting "Add existing" then selecting "Form" - however, I don't see form listed anywhere as an option. Has anyone else used forms in their course and know what I'm missing? It also says forms can be uploaded to…

Is there a way to reset all quiz attempts to zero for one user in a course?
My TAM said they can reset all completion progress for the user through using APIs. I'm not sure how that works but they are saying the only way to reset a quiz for one user is to individually reset them within the course. Does anyone know a more efficient way to reset all quizzes for one user/one course?

Embed Video in a Unit or New Lesson page
Hello! I'd love to be able to include a video introducing a Unit or a Lesson. I'm able to embed a video, but after I save and close, it doesn't display. When I go to edit the page, there's just a yellow box. I put the same embed code into a HTML page and it works. If there is a way to embed videos other than into html…

How is cost calculated per account?
Hello, I was wondering how the cost is calculated per Brightspace account created. I heard that it is upon account activation when the user logins/opens a course etc.? Or is it charged right when the account is created? Thanks! William

Utilizing LOR to share PDFs not working.
I published a PDF to my LOR, however when the link is used on a mobile device, it doesn't show the entire document. Only the title page. When the link is used on a computer, there are not issues. Is there a way to fix this? Did I set up the LOR incorrectly?

Is there a way to remove or change the "Recommended" label beside Lato?
In the absence of being able to call on our custom font, Marketing has approved the use of Arial. It would be great to point our instructional designers to this font.

In Classlist, is there a way to send an email to all people who have not accessed course?
On Email Classlist, I tried to generate a list of people who had not accessed the course. I tried using Last Accessed. However, I couldn't enter a blank Start or End Date, and when I entered an end date of a few months ago, the results excluded those with blank "Last Accessed."

Is there a way to add new fonts to the editor dropdown?
We have added a font and it is referenced in our CSS files. It works as the default font in our HTML templates. But, is there a way to add it to the Font drop down so that we can reference it in our Unit pages? We want to ensure our courses use our approved corporate font.

Is there a way to turn off the automated Award Earned Notification?
In the Mail templates, there's one for Award Earned Notification. Is there a way to turn this off? We'd prefer to use an Intelligent Agent to notify users.
