Manually initiate a sync from SIS
This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas |
Occasionally something goes wrong with our SIS sync--usually when we have enough enrollment changes that it triggers an import threshold on one of our systems--so that Canvas doesn't update overnight. It's not a fault of Canvas, but when that happens it means that unless an admin catches that the sync was on hold in time and allows it before Canvas syncs, all of these enrollment changes aren't live in Canvas the next day.
We would like for there to be an option under "Admin > [DISTRICT] > SIS Import" to manually sync from SIS so that we don't have to contact support and wait for someone at Canvas to do it for us. There's already information about the last sync there, and a button to process data from CSV files, it seems logical to have a manual sync button there like a lot of other similar programs do.
We are currently using Classlink as our SIS source.
