What is the Change Requests tool?

Change Requests are how the ELMS-Canvas Management Tool (EMT) stores customizations to SIS data that gets uploaded to ELMS-Canvas, like splitting or merging sections, or customizing the course Long Name.  The changes made by users are stored as Change Requests, and used to transform the data coming from SIS before being uploaded to ELMS-Canvas. There is one record per Term-Course-Section. Edits to a course with multiple sections creates records for every section in that course.

What does the Change Request tool do?

The Manage Change Requests tool allows an individual with an administrative role in EMT to delete the Change Request records for themselves. This is the only way to undo Creating Single Section Courses or Combining Sections and Courses edits, to restore a course or section to its original Course Space in ELMS-Canvas. Deleting the record will remove all customizations.

• Changes can be searched by term, then by the Course Id (this can be the Name of the course or SIS ID of the course) or the requests the user has done themselves.
• The requests will be listed in a table showing the Course Id, Section Id, the Date the change was made, the Requester, and a Summary of the change.
• Identify the Course and Section(s) from the table, select on the row of the section to be reverted, you can select multiple rows if necessary.
• Then select the Delete Selected Rows button. EMT will then delete any rows selected from the database. This will remove all edits for the Sections that you selected.

NOTE: EMT caches Course and Section data to improve performance of the interface, and refreshes this cache every 15 minutes or so. The change to Course and Section data will show up in the other tools when this cache is refreshed. Any changes that need to be remade can be done at this time. The batch job uploads the data to ELMS-Canvas every 2 hours, all changes to the data will be uploaded at that time.
