Add "Post Grade to SIS" check box to Grade book

[lsickler]

  This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

  Idea will be open for vote Wed. October 7, 2015 - Wed. January 6, 2016  Learn more about voting...

Currently, you must click to edit an assignment/quiz in order to see if the "Post Grades to SIS" checkbox has been clicked.  A feature that our district would like to see added would be to make this checkbox also accessible from the Canvas Grade book.  By adding a checkbox to each assignment column heading in the Grade book, instructors could take a quick glance at which assignments will be posted to their SIS when they click "Post Grades," and make any necessary changes.

This is what we are envisioning:

Please take a look at the Canvas Beta Release Notes (2015-12-28)

Assignments, SIS Sync Icon section.

Please note that this feature was not implemented exactly as suggested, however, after checking with the poster and other voters, we are marking this as complete.  Please read the entire thread for more information.

There was another idea just like this...if we can find it, we should mention this new one there. We really need this!

Here's the old thread.

This is a great idea that we were going to suggest as well. Working with our SIS, we hate to override something because we missed a checkbox. This is desperately needed.

This would be sooooooo nice.  I spend so much time trying to find the quizzes that I forgot to turn off the SIS.  This would be a great update that would make the Powerschool exporting so much easier.

Exactly! If they don't do this, maybe they can put on a little animated guy that says "don't forget to turn off the SIS now that you've posted these grades!".

Hi,  @glenn_phoenix ​, Bill.Pratt and all who voted! Please encourage your colleagues to vote on this. Many who think it's a wonderful idea don't visit the community. I just introduced several yesterday, and they liked it and voted.

Voted! Good Luck...........

This is such a good idea...I hope it earns more votes.  It is difficult to sync to my gradebook and keep it organized when I have to sync everything at once!  I would love to do one assignment at a time.

It *is*,  @kimberly_cauble ​! If you help spread the word, it could reach 100 votes this week. This morning, the vote was at 64; now it is at 82. Canvas wants 100 to even consider it. Keep in mind, break is coming, and people might not visit the Community as much as they do when school is in session (I know, I know—they'll be missing out!)

Also, you can sync one at a time, but you have to open each quiz for editing and uncheck the box. Phew, that's a lotta work!
