What is it?

...

The report includes direct links to the settings pages of listed activities where, if necessary, other activity details can be changed. Note these links are called Add restricted access or Edit restricted access but they both link to an activity's general settings.

In addition a graphic timeline of the reported activities appears at the bottom of the report.
The timeline allows a quick visual inspection of the spread of activities and their dates, each activity icon in the timeline is also a link to that activity's settings.

Date manager will only save changes if the dates of all activities in the report are legitimate.  For instance, attempting to save a report with one or more Turnitin assignments having due dates greater than a year in the past will cause the report to be returned with the error message 'Warning! there are form validation errors error below. Your changes have NOT been saved yet'  - to help identify the problematic dates additional prompts will appear within listed activities (an example is shown in the image below).
