- Under Filter by Tool, select Grades and then click Apply Filter.
- Select any of the following permissions and then click Save and Close:
|
Setting
|
Allow users to
|
|
See the Grades Tool
|
This permits the user to see the Grades link within the course offering.
|
|
Manage Grades
|
This permits the user to open the Grades tool.
|
|
Export Grades
|
This permits the user to see the Export to SIS button and open the Grades Export pages.
|
|
Enter Final Grades
|
This permits Grades Export pages to access and display final grades. Without this permission, the export pages indicate that a grade is missing for each learner. Grades cannot be exported without this permission.
|
|
Manage Final Grades Properties
|
This permits the Grades Export pages to display grades that have not been released. That is, without this property, the export pages indicate that grades are not missing for learners with non-released grades.
|
|
Release Final Grades
|
If Brightspace is configured to send only released grades to SIS, grant this permission to enable the user to mark grades as released before they are exported.
|
Configure Grades Export
- From the Admin Tools menu on the minibar, select Config Variable Browser.
- Configure any of the following variables:

Variable

Description
|
|
d2l.Tools.Grades.ExportHandlerPage
|
This org level variable provides the URL with the necessary context to the Grades Export page. There is no default value.
This variable must be configured for users with Export Grades permission to see the Export to SIS option on the Enter Grades page in the Grades tool.
This variable can be set for specific courses (for testing purposes) or for the Org so that all courses have it configured. The variable value remains the same in either case, but when setting it up in the Config Variable Browser, choose either a specific course offering org unit ID or specify the org unit ID of the organization.
Set this variable as follows for Grades Export:
/d2l/im/ipsis/grades/export/{orgUnitId}/Home?retUrl=/d2l/lms/grades/admin/enter/user_list_view.d2l%3Fou%3D{orgUnitId}
Note: This variable is used by Banner Grades and Grades Export. Installations that have Banner and IPSIS need to set this value to avoid having the Banner default conflict with the IPSIS installation. For example, if Banner is installed, this variable has a default value that applies to all Orgs and OrgUnits. To ensure that the Banner default is not applied to non-Banner Organizations, this variable can be set to an empty value and overridden where necessary.
Without this variable configured, clicking the Export to SIS link takes the user to a page displaying Error: Internal Error. There was an error processing the page you requested.
|
|
d2l.Integrations.IPSIS.GradesExportUIRefreshRate
|
This org level variable determines how often the Grades Export page is refreshed when a user has enabled Auto Refresh. The refresh is measured in seconds.
The default value is 30. If the value is lower than 15, the Grades Export page performs a refresh every 15 seconds.
|
|
d2l.Integrations.IPSIS.GradeServiceFrequency
|
This variable determines how often the Grades Export service checks for new exports to process. The service is responsible for pushing grades to the SIS and storing its responses. This variable does not represent the sleep time between checks. The frequency is measured in seconds.
If you need to change or update the default value, it can be done by D2L Support or any Install Admin user.
The default value is 10. If the value is less than 10, the Grades Export service checks every 10 seconds and issue a warning to the system log on each run.
|
|
d2l.Integrations.IPSIS.ParallelGradeJobs
|
This variable controls the number of grade exports that can be actively running at one time. It does not prevent more Grades Export requests from being made from the Grades Export page; those requests are processed right away, but the service executes requests only when the number of simultaneous jobs is below the maximum specified by this variable.
If you need to change or update the default value, it can be done by D2L Support or any Install Admin user.
The default value is 0, which implies no limit. The value must be greater than or equal to 0.

Display symbol grades in Grades Export
When IPSIS Grades Export is configured for grades in symbols format, without symbols enabled under the grade book settings, the IPSIS Grades Export page displays this error:
Request cannot be processed.
- In the Grades Setup Wizard, under Grade Details, enable Grade Scheme Symbol. See the Grades Administrator Guide for more information.
Extension points and plug-ins for Grades Export
Grades Export relies on IPSIS handlers to extract the users and grade information in the right format from Brightspace. It relies on translators to exchange the data with the SIS in a LIS-specific format. Proper configuration of IPSIS extension points ensures that grades appear in the right format and that grades for the right users appear in the SIS.
