Domain Details
You can review and edit basic information about your domain on the Details tab, including:
- Domain Name, Userspace (not editable), Domain ID (not editable), and External ID. Save the any edits you've made.
- The Active enrollment summary card uses a pie chart to show how many students are failing, at risk, and succeeding, and the correlating percentages. You can also download enrollment and student information.
- The Domain teacher summary lists all teachers in the domain. You can click each name to review their Teacher Dashboard information (which appears in your Admin > Users tool). The colored circles show:
- Overall Teacher responsiveness in grading activities for each course:

- Yellow means one or more submitted, gradable items have gone 3 or more days ungraded.
- Red means one or more submitted, gradable items have gone 6 or more days ungraded.
- Aggregated Student performance for each course:
- Green means that, in aggregate, your students are performing above 10% of the minimum grade for the course.
- Yellow means that, in aggregate, your students have failed in 1 of their last five submissions or they are within 10% of failing the course.
- Red means that, in aggregate, your students have failed 2 of their last five submissions or they are failing the course.
- Overall Student pace for each course:

Tips for using the Active enrollment summary and the Domain teacher summary
- These summaries list an enrollment as Active for 14 days after the enrollment's end date, giving teachers time to finalize and return grades.
- These summaries are updated on a daily basis, so they do not reflect changes in real time.
Use the More menu in the Domain toolbar to:
- Open and edit Domain settings.
- Use Applied domain settings to see the current domain's full Domain settings in read-only XML format, and compare them with another domain's settings to see differences.
- Use Domain setting usage to select a specific setting defined in the current domain's Domain settings and run a search to see if that setting exists in its subdomains.
- Enable, configure, and/or manage SIS sync.
- Enable, configure, and/or manage any Data streams.
- Import enrollments and Import observers as tab-delimited or comma-separated values (.csv) files.
- Move the domain.
- Set activity password to create a password that grants a user access to all password protected activities for the enrollments in the domain. This password works in addition to an activity's individual password; it doesn't replace it. Domain-wide passwords are not inherited by subdomains.
