Two Feature Inquiry

[HarryMarshall]

Is it possible the developers could:

1) Give teachers the ability to have assignments show on the calendar on the date they are assigned as opposed to the date they are due?  This would enable teachers to show a consistent title on their whiteboard in class that displays the days lesson as well as on their Canvas calendar?

2) Update the sort by date feature in grade syncing so that rather than getting a column with the word "multiple" in every row, this column could be used to sort by the latter of the two due dates since this would be very helpful?

A screenshot is attached.

Thanks.

@HarryMarshall ...

These are both suggestions that could be submitted as ideas to be considered for implementation.  You can read about the idea process by going to:

Instructure Community Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

In particular, look at the Guide on how to create a new idea under the heading "Ideas and Themes".

I hope this will be helpful to you.

Hi @Chris_Hofer ,

I've tried submitting my ideas but have repeatedly received the following error message:

I do appreciate you taking the time to answer.  Have a great week!

You should be able to submit new ideas.  It looks like you joined the Community back September 2022, but there is a ranking system that is built in to the Community, so you have to do a few things to "rank up" (similar to leveling up in games).  You start out as Community Novice, but then once you are past that, you should be able to post an idea.  You are at Community Member, so you've already met those requirements to "rank up".

• How do I rank up in the Instructure Community? - Instructure Community - 596856 (canvaslms.com)

If you are still having difficulties, I can reach out to one of the Canvas Community Managers for you to see if they can investigate your account so that you can post your own ideas.
