Turn off "To Do" and "Coming Up" notifications for some courses

[GeoffreyWheeler]

I have my own course and I am a support instructor for other instructors' courses.  I am in their course as a "teacher" role.  I would like to turn off "To Do" and "Coming Up" notifications for the other instructors' courses.

Hi @GeoffreyWheeler  - Would  Notifications by Sections be a better fit?

Hi @GeoffreyWheeler  -  That's correct. The thread links to a proposal for a new feature! If you feel it would meet your needs, please join the conversation and rate (star) the thread. That way, you'll automatically receive updates as the idea progresses through our Idea Process. 

How do idea conversations work in the Instructure Community?

Hi @GeoffreyWheeler -

This isn't possible currently. There is an idea that is open for conversation --  Filter To Do List Grading -- If you feel it matches your need, please add to the discussion and rate (star) the idea.

That is neat feature but it doesn't meet my needs. I would like to be able to turn grading notification (To do) off for some courses that I am a support teacher for.

HI @GeoffreyWheeler ,

Depending on the support you give, you might want to change your role from "Teacher" to "Designer." As a "Designer," you can help instructors set up their courses and assignments, but you won't have access to the students' submissions and grades. And, you won't have their students' work show up on your To-Do List.

Hmmmm @KristinL .  Could I make a dummy section of a course with no students in it?  If I could selectively activate only notifications for the dummy section then yes, this would work.

So, @KristinL, your, "notifications by Sections" link is to an idea thread. I take it that this idea has not yet been implemented and there is currently no solution or work-around. It looks like it would work though.
