Updated Features

LTI Usage

Version Table

Summary

In LTI Usage, Admins can view a table in each individual tool's details page displaying version-specific data, including placements, total launches, unique users, sub-account usage, and course usage for each version.

Change Benefit

This update allows for admins to view and analyze usage of different LTI versions of the same tool in order to make informed decisions.

Filtering Improvements 

Summary

In LTI Usage, Admins can view and analyze LTI Usage based on various time periods that are relevant to calendars and use cases. Admins can filter by the following time periods: predefined date ranges (beyond 30 days), custom date ranges, and by term.

Change Benefit

This update allows for admins to analyze LTI Usage data based on time periods that cover individual use cases in order to make better data-informed decisions around contract renewals, migrations, adoption planning, and/or deprecation of LTI Tools.

Other Updates

Accessibility

Users and Permissions

Summary

The following are accessibility updates to the Users and Permissions page:

• When in Edit Permissions mode, checkboxes are read as Enable [permissions row header] for [role column header] by screen readers.
• In the Invite User, Edit User, Create Role, and Edit Role dialog boxes, the aria-label describes the dialog box name.

LTI Usage

Summary

The following are accessibility updates to the LTI Usage page:

• Date inputs are stacked under each other when viewed on smaller screen sizes.
• The Placements column's popover opener button displays next to the column header when viewed on smaller screen sizes.
• The Placements column's popover opener button is accessible to screen readers and keyboard-only users.
• When there is no information in the Placements column, a hyphen is displayed. This is hidden from screen readers and a screen reader-only text ‘no placements’ is read.
• In the LTI Usage page, the Version table aligns with the latest version of InstUI, Instructure's internal design language. 
• Disabled options are removed from terms.
• When clicking on the Launch campaign button, the expandable section that appears to non-Impact users provides details about Impact and guidance on what to do if interested in learning more by reaching out to CSMs or Sales Representatives.

Fixed Bugs

• On the User Groups page, the Filter’s Value table box allows users to input value as intended.
