Action
Get user assignment analytics
Fetches detailed assignment-level analytics for a specific student in a designated course, including submission details and class performance statistics.
Why this helps
Support teams guess at learner performance because analytics are separate from the ticket where the issue is reported.
- Make support decisions with context
- Spot performance patterns quickly
- Reduce unnecessary escalation
