Intelligent Agent for Final Grade Below a C
I am trying to create an intelligent agent to notify students when their overall course grades (final calculated grades) are below a C. However, there are no options for this under "release conditions" in the intelligent agent.

Nesting Categories in Gradebook?
Wondering if someone can help with this very specific issue: I created a Category in my Gradebook for "Assignments" because I only want to count their best 10 submissions towards their final grade. One of my Assignments has two parts - Group and Individual. Each part is associated with a different External Learning Tool…

Accessing Class Progress after the end of semester
The menu for individual student progress contains fewer options after the course has finished (just Summary, Course Access, and Login History). I want to view whether or not a student engaged/opened course content. How?

Report on initial faculty access to semester course
Is there a recommended time for the creation of semester courses added for faculty access? For instance, we currently allow faculty access to their courses 30 days prior to the semester start date. We did have it set at 90 days and this tended to cause major issues with course duplications and cross-listing due to constant…

Is there a way to search for all users with a particular role?
I have created a role for Deans within our institution, but I'm unable to find a way to find a list of who has that role. I see in the data sets that there is user report that gives org role id, but I'm hoping that D2L has this basic function that most other LMSs have.

What does date filter for Learner Usage restrict by?
I set date filter to April 1, 2023 to April 30, 2023 for a single course shell, hoping to get data on users who accessed that shell in April 2023. But lots of records in the data set have "last visited dates" way back in 2022 or just blank. Is the "date" filter filtering solely for students registered in the course…

Count only best score of 3 quizzes
I would like students to have the option to take 1, 2, or 3 different quizzes on a particular topic where only the top score is counted in the grade book. If I drop the lowest 2 in a category, that doesn't work because then they have to take all 3 to get any score at all. I'd like only the highest score of the 3 different…

Grades displaying "days late" messages for items from Assignments
When we have an "open date" and a "due date" set in Assignments, Grades is displaying a "days late" message for learners who have not submitted the assignment. This appears to be new this semester. When I contacted support I was told the only way to remove it was to turn off the due date, which we don't want to do. Has…

Checklists always visible under Course Tools>
An instructor just brought to my attention that Checklists, even ones that are not visible or have a start date that has not been reached, can be accessed by students under Course Tools>Checklist. Instructors often want checklists to only be accessible after a certain time so this causes problems. Is there a workaround for…

Turn of notifications
Is there a way I can turn off notifications that show up for students in the update alerts icon every time I add or adjust content in the course? I know you can alert students when content is changed by selecting that box, but can you stop a notification from going out every time new files are added or edited?

Export Questions from the Question Library to a zip file
Is there a config variable that needs to be turned on to be able to export questions from a course's question library? When I select import/export/copy components, I do not have just an Export option. I have Export as Brightspace Package, as Common Cartridge, or as Thin Common Cartridge, which is exporting the entire…
