Why this helps
Setting up a field course can involve a separate lookup to confirm which Datascope location records are available.
- Retrieve configured Datascope locations at course creation.
- Give course staff a quick reference to site names and location details.
- Make field course setup easier to coordinate.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Datascope once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for field course setup.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve Datascope locations and summarize those matching the course's stated field site or course context.
- 4Pick New Course Created for User as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real field course creation.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create or assign a location in Datascope?
No. It retrieves configured locations so staff can review the available records.
What if the course event does not mention a field site?
Provide the matching site or location criteria in the automation instruction; otherwise, the report can list locations without identifying a course-specific match.
