Date Published: Apr 11,2025


CategoryProduct:Blackboard Learn MH,Blackboard Learn SaaS,Blackboard Learn Software; Version:Blackboard Learn
Article No.: 000077628
Product:
Learn SaaS

Information:

Product: Grades Journey
Learn Version: 3900.65.0
Release Date: 4 May 2023

Issue resolved:

This release fixes the inconsistent application of the filename mask for "each file" and "combined files" so that both file types have a static date mask (YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM) that is not configurable.

Changes:


The Grades Journey settings page allows the administrator to configure the file name mask that defines the name of the grade extract file generated by the extension and applies a consistent format to the date mask. 

Configuration:

File Name Mask: extract-$COURSEID$-$DATE$
Screenshot of filename mask configuration setting

Transfer Type – Combined File: combined_extract-2023-05-12_22_48.csv

Transfer Type - Each File: extract-course1-2023-05-12_23_18.csv
Transfer Type - Combined File: combined_1683932940179.csv
