The LMS Last Login alert identifies students who have not accessed an online course section in an institution's learning management system within n number of days.
Base Selection Criteria
- Select in-progress course sections.
- Student has an enrollment in an in-progress course section and does not have a final grade recorded.
- Course section is an online course section.
- Synchronization with the LMS has occurred successfully for this registration in the last twelve hours.
- Last login date is less than the current date minus the number of day configuration set in the alert. Only login dates after the course section start date are eligible.
- Person has the Student role.
*If an institution is using multiple LMS systems, SS&E is only able to sync with a single LMS provider. If this is the case it may cause "wrong" alerts. To correct this, you must identify the LMS Courses that are unable to sync Enrollment data between the LMS & SS&E by at least one of the exclusion criteria listed below so that students are not mistakenly alerted for courses they have actually attended within n days.
Note: In the past, this alert required at least one login on the LMS course section in order to send an alert for that registration yet the requirement was removed in 2020 and no longer applies.
