Canvas Dates

[PamelaVinton]

How do you make the date parameters stick for the filters in Grades? I keep changing them and then it goes back to the entire school year of grades. I don't want that. It used to change and with whatever filter you set.

Thanks in advance.  ~ Pam

Check the Canvas Guides document on gradebook filters:

How do I create and manage filters in the Gradebook? 

If you create and save a filter preset (like a range of dates), that preset will be available to you when you return to the gradebook.

Thank you - but this is not working. When we set the dates...and go back in...the dates resume back to the beginning of the year. The date change is not sticking.

Thanks for following up. In that case I think the best option is to contact the Instructure support team. I wonder if there is another service connected to your Canvas instance that is responsible. For example, I know it's possible for data coming from an integration with a student information system to overwrite changes made in Canvas (we've had that challenge with user email addresses), but I can't see how that would change the gradebook filters.
