I've been trying to figure out the new Institutional Hierarchy tool in SP8. BIG problem, the documentation on this is spotty to say the least. Of course, who's surprised as most of Blackboard's documentation is not very good. Back to my question. I have created a node that has a tab group and two tabs associated with it. I've given the

Has anyone notice in SP8 that the Student's Course menu can be different that what the instructor expects them to see? If an instructor has created a Tool Area link to something like Discussions, Messages, etc. and that tool area has been hidden from the students, the Course Menu item does not appear to the students. There is NO indicator to the

We just upgraded to SP8 and I noticed a new column in the My grades view that students see. It's called Alignments. We are not currently using the Goals tool and do not want this column to appear to the students. Is there any way to turn this column off at the system or course level so students will not see it? I've looked just about everywhere

I am trying to setup a System Discussion board. I was able to create the Discussion board and create a forum. Problem is, when I create the forum, I get an error message. The forum is created, but the users are not able to create threads. When I go in to edit the forum, I set it to allow the participants to create new threads, I get the same error and

Michael, We have opened a ticket with Blackboard board on this. Yes, I was using the "old" command line utility. I haven't had much time to orient myself on the "new" Data Integration tools. In either case, if Blackboard is going to make a broad general statement like, "...any future enrollment changes in the child course

Many of our instructors are interested in the Section merge tool that is available in SP8. I was testing the tool out on our test server and found that the enrollments in the "parent" or master shell are NOT automatically updated from the child course as the instructions indicate. I tested this using the Snapshot tool and data that I created

Connie, We are on a hosted system and I found the Disk Usage report under System Reporting to be helpful in this area. The report is not 100% accurate as far as size goes, at least that's what I've found. When I compare that report to a report we receive from Blackboard they never match up. From the System Admin Tab in the Tools and Utilities

On our test server with SP8, the action bar has the same as yours: "Build Content", "Create Assessment", "Add Interactive Tool", and "Assign Textbook". This is the same thing or Production Server displays with SP6. In the SP8 updates PDF, it claims that Action Bar Functions in the Content Area have been renamed

We just got SP8 loaded on our Test Server. The updates for SP8 PDF file and Course Sites shows that the buttons on the Action Bar in a Content Area are supposed to be updated to be: Build Content , Assessments , Tools , and Publisher Content . That did not happen with our upgrade to SP8. I've tried every theme, I've looked at every setting in

Thanks! I'm in to edit now, but there are so many items. Can you tell me which one holds the text for the Warning box that appears when a student tries to leave an assessment that has Force Completion turned ON. How do you find where an item is that you need or want to change? Search item by item would take forever. Thanks, Lee
