Rollover - Report Date Ranges

Updating reports to bring dates current

If you have automated reports that use fixed dates (instead of relative), then you may want to update these to make sure that they are correct for the upcoming semester. If new Sub Accounts are being added to Canvas, reports may also need to be updated to bring those in (depending on what you are looking to report across)

Accessing others reports

If the reports are saved against another user, you can impersonate them in order to access and updated the reports they have saved against them. Admin -> Staff -> Impersonate
