While a Primary Customizations course enables you to maintain customizations at the root account, Extended Customizations courses give you the ability to maintain customizations in multiple sub-accounts.
If a sub-account at your institution would like to create their own templates and other customizable components, reach out to our support team. We will schedule a call to walk you through the setup and provide you with the recording so that you are able to create additional Extended Customizations courses as needed.
For additional information about extended customizations for legacy DesignPLUS, please visit the DesignPLUS Admin Guide: Instructions for Setting Up Extended Customizations.
What permissions are necessary to configure an extended customizations course?
In order to build an extended customizations course, several permissions and features must be enabled in Canvas.
Before the call, the Root Admin/Super Admin should:
- Enable the Cidi Labs DesignPLUS and Cidi Labs Install inherited developer keys (these are often already enabled during the initial installation of DesignPLUS)
- Enable the sub-account themes feature in the root Account Settings
If a Sub-Account Admin is planning to complete the extended customizations course configuration, they must be able to:
- Create new courses in the sub-account where the extended customizations course will be installed
- Edit sub-account CSS/JS in the Canvas Theme Editor
- If you will be customizing DesignPLUS theme colors for a sub-account, bring a list of the hex codes for the new color values.
- Import and edit course content
