Canvas Data 2 Connection

To configure an IntelliBoard connection, you must be an Administrator of the LMS and IntelliBoard Pro with full admin permissions.

Note: Canvas Data 2 is a supplementary connection that replaces the Live Events service.  You will still need to connect flat files and data service for full Canvas reporting.

Canvas Setup

1. To configure Canvas Data 2, visit https://intelliboard.instructure.com/ and log in with your administrator credentials. 
2. In the left hand menu, click "Admin" and select "Developer Keys."
   
3. Click the "+Developer Key" button in the top right corner and select "+API Key" from the drop down menu.
   
4. Complete the "Key Name" and "Redirect URLs" fields and click the "Save" button in the bottom right corner. You can name the key whatever you wish. The redirect URL for IntelliBoard Pro is https://next.intelliboard.net/settings/oauth2/redirect 
5. Find the newly created Key in the "Developer Keys" list. Ensure the state toggle is "On" and copy the "Client ID" listed under details and reveal and copy the "Client Secret Key." These need to be added to the IntelliBoard Pro connection. Steps are in the next section. If you are not ready to paste these credentials to IntelliBoard, save them in a secure location until ready.
6. To generate keys for Canvas Data 2, visit http://identity.instructure.com and search for your institution. You will be required to login to your Canvas account using administrator credentials.
   
7. Click the +Add New Key button in the top left corner.
8. Give the key a name and choose an expiration date.
   
9. Under Key Type, choose “Institutional Use”, chose 1 year in the Expiry drop-down and click Save
   Note: While IntelliBoard is listed under the “Instructure Partner” choice, this will email us the keys directly and may delay setup over proceeding with the Institutional Use choice.
10. Click the “Reveal OAuth Credentials” button.
11. The site will then display the Data Client ID and Data Client Secret. These need to be added to the IntelliBoard Pro connection in the Canvas Data Tokens. Follow the IntelliBoard Pro Setup instructions below. If you are not ready to paste these credentials to IntelliBoard, save them in a secure location until ready.

IntelliBoard Pro Setup

IntelliBoard Pro Setup:
