Field Admin Console Canvas Components
Field Admin Console Canvas Components
This document discusses the four Canvas Component fields that can be set within a case in the Admin Console. These fields allow Field Admins and Canvas Support personnel to describe which engineering projects relate to support tickets.
Four Canvas Component fields can be set within a case in the Admin Console: Canvas Component Section, Canvas Component Affected, Canvas Component Action, and Canvas Component Issue. These fields allow Field Admins and Canvas support personnel to describe which engineering projects relate to support tickets. Each field adds an important layer to this description:
- Canvas Component Section: The broad engineering project category, such as core, platform, or mobile.
- Canvas Component Affected: The Canvas component or feature that relates to the case (e.g., People/Users, Files, or API). Options for Canvas Component Affected vary based on the selection for Canvas Component Section.
- Canvas Component Action: The action relating to Canvas Component Affected that led to the case creation (e.g., creating an announcement, deleting a quiz, or editing an assignment). Similar actions are grouped together to reduce the amount of options available (e.g., Access and View are listed as Access/View). Options for Canvas Component Action are unchanged based on previous selections.
- Canvas Component Issue: The purpose behind the case (e.g., a Canvas bug, a “how to” question, or a user experience issue). Options for Canvas Component Issue are unchanged based on previous selections.
The following tables and lists include all options for Canvas Component Section, Canvas Component Affected, and Canvas Component Action.

Canvas Component Issue
The following options are available in the Canvas Component Issue field:
- Assigned to School: case created by Instructure support and assigned to the institution's admin because request can only be completed by them.
- Bug: case created due to reproducible issues within Canvas. Bugs occur for multiple users or instances of Canvas. Once a bug is verified, it is reported to Engineering via our internal bug-tracking system.
- Data Fix: case created due to incorrect information displayed within Canvas.
- End-User Issue: case created due to user error or software/hardware incompatibilities. End-user issues occur for a single user or local computer.
- Feature Discussion: case created after user requests a specific feature to be added to Canvas.
- “How to” Question: case created due to questions about navigating and/or utilizing specific areas in Canvas.
- User Experience: case created after user requests a change to an existing part of Canvas.
