Problem: Assignments auto-populating ANGEL Calendar

An instructor has asked me if the assignments (ANGEL quizzes and dropboxes) can automatically appear in the ANGEL calendar based on our due dates for those objects. I've been trying to figure out how to configure these assignments to show up in the calendar.

Does anyone know if I can configure the calendar to look at the assignment due dates and create entries automatically? or do I have to do this manually?

BTW the "ANGEL® 7. 1 INSTRUCTOR REFERENCE MANUAL" doesn't mention anything about automatic entries.

Re: Problem: Assignments auto-populating ANGEL Calendar

By "due date," are you referring to the start and end dates shown on the Access tab of a content item's settings? Those control when the content item is shown or hidden and do not appear on the calendar.

To have a due date shown on the calendar you need to use milestones. Please take a look at the ANGEL Knowledgebase for more information. A search on "milestone" should turn up articles on how this feature works. A search on "data manager" should turn up articles on that feature, which allows you to set start/end dates and milestone dates in bulk rather than having to edit each Lessons tab item.
