Create a Universal Task Pathway
The Blue Portal Integrator (BPI) serves as a crucial intermediary, facilitating seamless communication between Blue and external systems like Learning Management Systems (LMS). Acting as a conduit for task data extraction and transmission, BPI streamlines task completion within the LMS environment. BPI pathways provide the ability to view, access and complete a task in Blue, outside of Blue.
The Universal Pathway, a component of BPI pathway, facilitates this sharing of course evaluation data between Blue and external systems. The Universal Pathway is a critical component of the Blue Connector system. It stores task data received from Blue in a separate database that interfaces with the Blue Connector.
Utilizing universal pathways and the Blue Connector, it enables users to undertake tasks like fill outs directly within the LMS, enhancing efficiency and accessibility. Essentially functioning as an entry point to the Blue system, the universal pathway simplifies task management processes. Seamlessly integrating with the LMS, the Blue Connector facilitates a range of functions including task additions, notifications, calendar updates, and access control, effectively enhancing communication between Blue and the LMS. This integration enhances user experience and workflow by promoting seamless interaction between Blue tasks and the LMS environment.
- Works with surveys and course evaluations.
- LMS integration only works with course evaluations. (if you use surveys, include filters to remove them from the LMS integration)
- License controlled.
- Connects with an Oracle database through the use of an SQL linked server.
- Microsoft SQL users have database owner permissions which consist of read, write, create, and delete.
