What is it?

Date manager is a one-page report that allows the viewing and editing of dates and names associated with the more common date-sensitive activities in Moodle. The report includes the following activities:

  • Moodle assignments
  • Turnitin assignments
  • Databases
  • Forums
  • Lessons
  • Quizzes
  • Workshops

...

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.
