Recommended adjustments
Adust these settings in Brightspace for an optimal experience with Portflow.
A. Adjust assignment end date settings
This will make sure students are able to import their submissions into Portflow after the deadline has passed.
Navigate to Config Variable Browser > Tools > Dropbox > EndDateDefaultType
At Override values, choose 'visible with submission restricted' for the Org unit which will use Portflow.
! If you choose 'visible with access restricted' or 'hidden', students are not able to import their submitted assignments into Portflow once the deadline has passedClick Save
B. Adjust email access
This will make it possible to send email notifications to users that have not yet launched Portflow, e.g. when distributing Portflow templates.
- Navigate to Config Variable Browser > Tools > Classlist > DisplayEmail
- At Override values, choose 'on' for the Org unit (e.g. 6606) which will use Portflow.
- Click Save
C. OpenBadges Support
Brightspace includes support for OpenBadges compatible badges, but this is not enabled by default. For Portflow to be able to embed badges issued in Brightspace, a configuration needs to be changed in Brightspace. Follow these steps to enable this feature in Brightspace.
- Navigate to Config Variable Browser > Tools > Awards > DigitalCredentialSharingEnabled
- Set the Org Value to On
