Check document layout variations in grading follow-up
If grading surfaces a document format question, review the parser layouts already available before deciding on a next step.
Trigger
Canvas Assignment Graded
Polls Canvas for newly graded submissions for a specific assignment.
Action
Get Parser Models
Tool to retrieve all model layouts for a specific parser. Use when you need to list different layout configurations within a parser that help handle document variations.
Why this helps
Document variations can complicate follow-up after grading, especially when parser configuration details are somewhere else.
- Review existing layouts when grading raises a format question.
- See available parser configurations in a single report.
- Support consistent review of varied submission documents.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Docparser once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from your usual channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction, naming the parser and what layout details could help with grading follow-up.
- 4Pick Canvas Assignment Graded as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real grading event and confirm the layout report addresses the intended question.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow explain why a grade was given?
No. It retrieves Docparser layouts, which describe parser configurations. It does not evaluate student work or grading decisions.
Can the layouts reveal the parsed fields for a document?
The action retrieves model layouts for a parser. Ask Notis to summarize the returned configuration details relevant to your review.
Does it make changes to parser configuration?
No. The available action reads layouts only.
