Canvas@Illinois, Pope Tech's Dismiss feature for instructors and admins

1. With the Pope Tech Accessibility Guide open, select the error/alert that you would like to dismiss. In the example below, "Documents and Videos" is expanded to an alert with a "Link to Canvas asset."
   
   
2. Select the Dismiss button. The guide will refresh.
   
   
3. In the Reason to dismiss text field, describe why the error/alert is not an accessibility issue.
   
   
4. Select the Dismiss Result button.

To dismiss an error/alert, you'll need to view a Result widget in the accessibility dashboard. This can be accessed in a couple of ways, including the Accessibility Scorecard, Most Common Issues, and others. The steps below provide one way of accessing items to dismiss, but the most important step is to access the Details for the item(s) you want to dismiss.

1. When in your course, select Pope Tech Accessibility in the course navigation menu to open the dashboard.
   
   
2. In the Accessibility Scorecard widget, select the Errors or Alerts links (or the category).
   
   
3. Scroll down to the Results widget and select the Details button (looks like "double arrows").
   
   
4. Select the checkbox next to the item you want to dismiss.
   
   
5. Select the Dismiss button and a modal will open.
   
   
6. In the Reason for dismissal text box, describe why you think the item should be dismissed.
   1. Optional step: If relevant, you can also select checkboxes to "Dismiss this HTML everywhere it is found on this course?" and/or use the "Exact Match" checkbox to provide the same dismissal reasoning if the issue occurs more than once.
      
      
7. Select the Dismiss Result button.
