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...

We have multiple use cases for Custom User Groups in Impact with conditions based on a user's current grade. At this point, aside from uploading a CSV for a Custom User Group, we don't have a good solution for launching intervention messages for user...

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 ...

The Impact Support Button overlaps work that I am trying to do in Canvas. Can it be moved to perhaps the upper right or the upper right quadrant. I am also noticing that the Impact button on the right side gets in the way of Canvas LMS maybe you co...

In looking for the Impact VPAT, I found a post referring a potential July 2024 release. What is the status of the Impact VPAT?

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.

bbrichacek · 2023-01-30

Hi Impact, I would like to suggest a feature for the Campaigns page. It would be helpful to have a way to group or create an organizational structure. Currently the Campaigns page is one long list, having the ability to move messages into groups woul...

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.

debbie_ellis · 2022-08-16

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...

I love the concept of creating the walk throughs for faculty, especially new ones. Will they be available on LTI tools as well as Canvas native features?
