Administrators choose whether or not to enable auto-reporting from the Auto-Reporting Options page. Auto-reporting sends system updates to a secure Blackboard server automatically. Blackboard Support uses this information to assist the Administrator in maintaining Blackboard Learning System. In addition, Administrators can disable the event tracking that generates reports on activity in the Blackboard Learning System from this page.
Follow these steps to open the Auto-Reporting Options page.
Step 1 Click System Reports from the System Options section of the System Control Panel.
Step 2 Click Auto-Reporting Options from the System Reports menu page.
Click Yes in the Enable Auto-Reporting field to automatically send system data updates to a secure Blackboard Learning System server. The benefits of auto-reporting are:
· Assist in capacity planning with Blackboard Learning System for future growth
· Notification from Blackboard Learning System when a patch or upgrade is available
· Assist system maintenance with the help of Blackboard Support staff
Note: If Auto-Reporting is disabled no data will still be sent to the Blackboard database.
In the Enable Event Tracking field, Yes is the default selection. Select No to disable tracking and reporting of user actions through System Reporting and Advanced System Reporting.
