Alerts and controls
Open Insight widgets, select a widget, open Metrics, and select the metric to tune. Changes through Configure apply to that course. See Roles and permissions for Configure access.
Parameter controls in a course
Section titled “Parameter controls in a course”If the source report has parameters, they appear under Instructor controls. Enter a value or leave it empty for the report default. A different value is marked Custom. For each parameter, choose a course control:
- Can change offers an editable value in Configure.
- Must set waits for a course value before showing numbers.
- See only shows the value but keeps it fixed.
- Not shown uses the value without showing a control.
Reset all returns parameters to report defaults with Can change. Select Save changes after changing parameter values or course controls, including after Reset all, before using Configure or checking results. When several metrics use the same parameter name, the first metric in saved order determines whether Configure has its control.
Alert threshold
Section titled “Alert threshold”Under Flag, use Flag when the value is to choose greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to, equal to, or not equal to, then enter a number. Choose No flag to remove it. Select Save changes after changing or removing the threshold, before using Configure or checking results. A triggered alert is red and reads Flagged; otherwise it is green and reads On target.
Alert changes in a course
Section titled “Alert changes in a course”Select the instructor change checkbox under Flag to offer the rule in the Brightspace widget’s Configure controls. Clear it to keep the rule fixed there. Select Save changes after either choice, before opening Configure in Brightspace.
Course controls
Section titled “Course controls”Open Configure at the bottom of the widget in Brightspace to change an offered parameter or alert for that course. If a required parameter has no course value, use Configure now before expecting numbers. See Use an insight widget for the course steps.
The workspace Courses tab shows course settings with View and Reset to defaults when available. It replaces the separate Configure page. See Courses using this widget.
