# Project Capture Document for Canvas Assignments Report
#### *Author: Levi Stum*
#### *Stakeholder(s): Peter Williams*
#### *Date: March 20, 2019*


## Background

The Online Department is experimenting with changing start/end dates of semesters (specifically which day of the week the semester ends/starts on).
With that they're wanting to know how the courses will be affected by changing the course(s) end date.

-----

## Definition of Done

For every online master course they want to know how many items (e.g. content items, assignments, etc.) exist after a certain due date (e.g. July 17). Optionally might create a more specific report with which items are after that date.

  - Does it matter that course setup is already changing end dates for courses? We could use the semester master instead of the overall master course(s).
  - Which end date were you looking at using? (at least for testing purposes)
  - Any other rollup data you'd like? (e.g. number of items, due dates, etc.)
