We have been using Impact for a long time and are just looking into the possibility of creating a different support center for faculty and another for students. It seems like you can create multiple support centers and assign them to different roles ...

I'm trying to un-modify the "Release updates" Support Article Category from the out-of-the box Impact Support Center. I don't know when or how it was modified. Is it possible to reset it so it will be updated when Instructore pushes updates? If some...

As part of our implementation of Impact we started creating a walkthrough. We didn’t complete the whole thing so there’s some rough edges we would never publish to all of our students. We assigned it to just a custom group of users that were part o...

Hello Impact Community, We recently adopted Canvas Impact and have begun utilizing the messaging functionality. One of our main goals with Impact is to replace our current "microsurvey" process. Currently, microsurveys involve custom CSS and JS withi...

I'm very excited by the new LTI usage tool that I saw previewed at Instructurecon, and I was very excited when it showed up in our instance the other day... ...less exciting, though, is that it just isn't populating, showing 0 launches, 0 courses, 0 ...

Hi Team,I want to know how to use the program view in canvas lms , is there anything like that we can use to organize the course or even register LTI on the program level?

notmichaeljfox · 2023-02-22

Is there a way to download the tool adoption reports? It would be helpful to share the data without granting users access to Impact.

We have two campuses in the same system, one on Blackboard Learn original and the other considering adopting Canvas as their LMS. We are wondering how accessible Impact popups and hints are for screen readers in each of these two systems.

I was under the impression that you could set a campaign to start at a specific time of day. Is that not so?

CraigPember · 2022-07-14

I would like to see under campaigns which campaign is running and which is not running. This would help schedule campaigns and make sure that we are not overloading users with too much information. Currently, we have to go into each campaign and se...
