Schedule a focused review of org unit demographics
When a recurring review is needed, have Notis retrieve the demographics entries for an org unit using the filters you specify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Org Unit Demographics
Retrieves all demographics entries for users enrolled in a particular org unit. notes: - filters are applied cumulatively (all conditions must match) - when using id lists in filters, matching any id in the list satisfies that filter - for example: with roleids=[1,2], userids=[3,4], search="value": * users must have role 1 or 2 (either role matches) * and must have id 3 or 4 (either id matches) * and must have a field matching "value" - results are paged; use bookmark parameter for subsequent pages requires oauth2 scope: - demographics:orgunit:read available in api versions 1.46+ (lms v20.24.3+)
Why this helps
Collecting the same org unit information manually can create repeated admin work and interrupt other tasks.
- Reduce repeated demographic data lookups.
- Apply supplied filters consistently on a schedule.
- Receive a report of the retrieved entries.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect D2lbrightspace once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Describe in one instruction which org unit entries to retrieve and any filters to apply cumulatively.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real org unit and verify the returned entries and report.
Questions about this workflow
How do the filters work?
Filters are applied cumulatively, so all conditions must match. When using ID lists, a match to any listed ID satisfies that filter.
Does this change demographics data?
No. It retrieves demographics entries for users enrolled in the specified org unit.
Can I compare results over time?
That requires prior results or a baseline. The action returns entries matching the current filters.
