If you need to add a single record, update, or delete a handful of records in the Conduit data tables, you can do so manually in Conduit. This can save time and can be easier than creating and then processing a file for quick changes. When editing records in the Edit tab in Conduit, changes are propagated immediately.
For example:
If you have one or two enrollments that you need to delete, you can navigate to the Edit tab, choose enrollments, filter or find the desired records, and make your changes directly in the table. Conduit will process the changes and immediately send the change to the system.
Tip:
If you are adding a new course and creating that new course from a template, this may take a minute or two to complete, based on the size of the course to be copied. Likewise, deletions with the auto-archive option can take a while to create the backup requested before the deletion. Open LMS recommends sending course creation and deletion events through the file upload process rather than the Edit interface.
Edit existing records
The first drop-down on the Edit view is for choosing which table to view.
Use this to choose the table of records you would like to manage. When viewing the Conduit table for any of the record types, you can edit the existing record by clicking on the gear icon or delete the record with the trashcan icon.
You can also bulk delete with the checkbox on the lines that you would like to delete and selecting the With selected … Delete option at the bottom of the page. You can manage the number of records per page at the bottom of the page to show more or fewer results per page, up to 1000 records per page.
Tip:
Filters can be useful in this view to narrow down the records to just those ones you are interested in managing.
Add new
The second drop-down menu on the Edit view is for creating new records.
Just choose the record type you want to add from the list, and you will be presented with a form page with the mapped fields for that record matching the mappings in the settings. Required fields will be marked, blank fields are fine for values that are not required. Conduit will use the supplied default values for any blank fields as defined on the Mapping page.
Export
You can also export records to make bulk modifications and upload them back into the system with those changes. When exporting, Conduit automatically adds the action column and the action type as “update” since these are records it already contains. This can come in handy for bulk changes to accounts, like changing the user account authentication methods.
Tip:
Be sure to set any change fields to use the Update Moodle every sync setting in the Mappings page before processing those changes.
