Is it possible to set a criteria to identify users who have not submitted anything for 'x' amount of time? I am new to Brightspace, coming from Moodle, and in Moodle I had a plugin that I could identify students who had not submitted for a certain length of time (that I could set to whatever I wanted).

When we add them to the correct section, they are still a part of the wrong section. We have both searched all over the place and can…
