The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Hi,
We have several course got cross listed with others. Then later on, when we go to the "child" courses, can't find a way to search for where the "parents" are. Of course inside the child Sections there are no student or info where it went to.
Thanks
The best way I've found to solve these cross-listing mysteries is to run a provisioning report. When you click on "configure", one of the choices is "X list CSV". You can run it for the current term or all terms. The report shows the xlist_course_id (the parent) and the sections that are associated with it, and the shell the section came from originally (in the nonxlist_course_id field).
@qnguyen ,
We are giving the Canvas Admins area a little bit of love (especially questions that are really, really old) and just want to check in with you. This will also bring this question new attention.
