• users
• submissions
• accounts
• courses
• assignments
• enrollments

Backfill start date

When setting up the Extract for the Table Report, you’ll need to specify a Backfill start date.

On the first run, if the start date you provide is too early (i.e., outside the bounds of available data), you may encounter an error in the logs like this:

"The ‘since’ parameter in the request (2024-03-28T14:28:43Z) precedes the earliest data available (2024-03-28T14:28:43.273Z)"

If this happens, simply use the timestamp provided in the error message to update the Extract configuration, then re-run the report.
