Cautions and limitations

By default Date manager allows activities to be filtered by type i.e. you can select just quizzes, just Turnitin assignments etc. If you make edits and change the filter selection before saving them, your changes will be lostinitially lists all (reportable) activities but allows filtering of activity type e.g. to just quizzes. Changing the activity type in the filter will cause the report page to refresh losing any unsaved changes - remember to save any changes made before making filter changes.

Date manager will only save any 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).

If you need to quickly change only one assignment's date and you have lots of activities with 'faulty' dates it will be quicker to make the required changes within the individual assignment settings rather than using Date manager.
