Feature Suggestion: Custom Dashboard Views

[Jon_Dunk]

Hi,

I work in a K-12 school where we have staff that work across multiple faculties and campuses. Each campus has its own Dashboard view e.g. Junior School (K-6) users use Elementary, Senior School Users use Card View and we have Staff Professional Learning courses. All our courses are sorted into sub-accounts but when users click on their Dashboard they are served all courses they are a member of. It would be great if the user could set up custom views of their dashboard or filter by sub-accounts. e.g. having a pop out similar to the sub-account selector to select the dashboard view when the user clicks on the Dashboard icon on the global navigation bar.

I am aware of the 'Favourite stars' to customise one view of the Dashboard in the 'all courses' area but this doesn't help staff users with multiple roles as they would need to reset this each time, they move campus which can be twice a day.

Thanks

Jon

Hi @Jon_Dunk …

I’m not sure if you are aware, but there is a separate place in the Canvas Community to suggest your ideas for enhancements and new features within Canvas.  The new space (formerly called Feature Ideas) has been recently re-branded as Ideas and Themes.  You can find the space located at:

Canvas Ideas and Themes - Instructure Community

There are a handful of Guides that you can review on how all of this works:

Community - Instructure Community

You can also search for existing idea/themes to see if there is anything that might match what you are suggesting…so that you can follow the progress of that idea/theme that may have been identified.

Hopefully these resources will help you a bit.  Sing out if you have any other questions about this…thanks!
