Basic configuration of Blue Connector
The Blue Connector is a utility that allows Blue tasks to be accessed through an external system as well as using additional features of the LMS such as announcements, course blocking, calendar events and more. The Blue Connector operates between BPI (which is able to extract tasks and other data from the Blue database) and any of several LMS supported including Blackboard Learn, Brightspace, Canvas, and Moodle to automatically assign Blue tasks to the appropriate people.
Login prompt override settings
The login prompt override settings allow the Blue admin to create divisions on the login prompt on a per project basis. The message that can be customized for each project acts as a header for all the tasks in that project. If more than one project has the same message, then they are grouped together.
