We are working on trying to do reporting from Ally but find the one export a bit lacking. One of the main issues with the Ally report is that it does not report who is the instructor. We are wondering if any one has found a way to pull the Ally numbers out through the database/OpenDB, or if that type of information isn't even held on the Bb system. We also are trying to figure out how to provide reports to users that are not system admins, such as Deans, so that they can get report information without having any other unnecessary access to the system admin tab.
Todd - we are going to be implementing Ally soon and this is good information to know. I will be sure to ask about that when we have our kick off call and can let you know what they say. Hopefully you can find out before that though.
PS - We are self-hosted and are on Q2 2017 and we have the Ally B2, so I thought maybe we would have the tables in the database for it but it does not look like there are any. Also I checked out the Database Schema for Q2 2017 and it does not look like there are any tables for Ally there either. However I may have missed something. :-(
