How do I link Blueprint courses to courses created by Sentral?

← Managing a Sentral System
As an institution, you may want to sync Blueprint courses to the courses that have been created by the Sentral integration. As Blueprints are a Canvas concept unique to Canvas, Sentral does not have this concept built into the integration. However, as with sub-accounts, you can attach Blueprint courses to the courses created by Sentral by downloading the SIS Import files and adding in the appropriate information to the courses file.

After you have completed a sync from Sentral to Canvas, click on the Get SIS Import Files button to get an email sent to you containing a zip file (which contains the CSV files being sent to Canvas). Note that the information in the CSV files reflects what was sent in the last sync.



The courses.csv file will not contain the column that you will need to add the Blueprint Course SIS IDs of the Blueprint courses. This column has a header called blueprint_course_id and should contain the SIS IDs of the Blueprint courses you want to link each course to. If you do not enter a value in this column next to a course, that course will not be associated with a Blueprint course.

Note: The Blueprint course(s) must be created before you can associate any other course(s) with them. Make sure to give each course a SIS ID so that you can associate them using the Sentral SIS Import CSV files. You can create new courses either in the Canvas user interface or via CSV files - they are created as regular courses initially, so you will need to go into the course settings and enable them as Blueprint courses as well.
