I know I'm replying to an old post at this point, but it's imperative that we get some improvement in the handling of promotion codes. Even the ability to disable them without deleting them would help tremendously.  I'm basically changing the expirat...

Once the start date occurs, we need to remove our classes from the catalog, so no one attempts to enroll or asks for exceptions to be added. Is there a setting to make the start date a filter to remove a class from the catalog?

Is this still the case? The ability to include the Canvas/User ID would be of tremendous help for verification purposes.

Same here. We are new to Catalog and need to set up Transact/Cashnet. Do we need to contract with them for consulting? What is the process?

Maybe it's fortunate but our Catalog usage is still very minimal so we just export the Users (as a CSV) and our enrollment folks import the data into our CRM (we use Slate from Technolutions).  It would be great if there was an automatic/programatic ...

Typically, Canvas is used for course delivery and management, Catalog for course cataloging and enrollment, and CRM for managing prospect and learner information. Although they may not integrate technically, you can still create workflows to streamli...
