Canvas - Attendance
Embedded Files
Sorting students by section within Canvas allows you to see what students in each period last logged in which can make attendance taking much quick.
After a bit of research, I determined that there is a work around to sorting the “people” table. It… involves installing an extension into Chrome that allows custom javascript to be run. If that makes you not feel great, I completely understand. I have verified that the script is only calling things related to sorting a table and that the script is only running when you are on a “people” page in Canvas. I strongly recommend that you do not install any other scripts beyond the one that I have in these instructions.
This is how you install it:
Go to http://tampermonkey.net/
Choose to download the stable version and click the download link.
Now choose the “Add to Chrome” option
Choose “Add extension”
You can now close the tab you have open with this.
Open this link: https://github.com/jamesjonesmath/canvancement/raw/master/roster/sort-roster/sort-roster.user.js
Click the install button.
That is it. Now you can open Canvas and go to a class that has multiple sections.
When you do, you can click on any column header to sort the table by that column. It won’t give you a link-thing when you hover the mouse, but when you click it does sort it.
