Find rubrics

[ddavis4]

I have some rubrics made in the Canvas course I am working on. When I want to attach one of those rubrics to an assignment I have created, Canvas makes me search through all of the courses I have taught. Is there a way to filter this to just see the rubrics in the current course unless I wanted a wider search?

Hi there, @ddavis4 ...

This is a great question, and I feel your pain.  I am going to point you to a script that you can use developed by the amazing @James Jones.  You'll just need to install Tampermonkey in your Google Chrome browser, and then install James' script.  It will make searching for your rubrics so much easier!  This is just one of the "Canvancements" (Canvas Enhancements) that James has created.  Sorting the Find a Rubric dialog

And, as an extra bonus, here's something else James created to import rubrics from a spreadsheet: Importing Rubrics from a Spreadsheet.

Hope these links will be beneficial for you!

I suppose I'm glad someone has done a workaround for this, but I'm not really comfortable installing some 3rd party workaround. Is there an in-Canvas solution?

Hi @JoshuaHarper ...

No, there isn't...unfortunately.  The script I linked to from James would be the thing to use.  Just install Tampermonkey into your web browser, and then install his script into Tampermonkey.  You're not installing anything directly into Canvas.  For example, you're not installing an external LTI tool similar to how you (if you are a Canvas administrator) would integrate something like Turnitin, Simple Syllabus, or other third-party integrations.

Hope this helps a bit.
