New Feature: Ability to Customize which Brightspace Field Populates Program Search in CES

For customers utilizing the Brightspace integration, Institution Admins are now able to enter the preferred Brightspace Org Unit Type ID to allow you to filter through your Brightspace course data using your selected Brightspace Org Unit types.

In some cases, the Department dropdown list would not populate if the Org Unit Type ID was not the expected default value

The Department dropdown set to 'All Departments,' with the field indicated as dependent on the Org Unit Type ID for proper population.

But now you can change the value to whichever value your organization is using

The Advanced Settings tab with the Department Org Unit Type ID field showing 102, with an option to save.

For more information as well as instructions on how to find the value in Brightspace, please review the "Setting Up the Preferred Brightspace Org Unit Type ID" section of the Brightspace Data Integration article.
