在机构层次结构中创建和管理节点

在此页面上,了解有关在机构层次结构中创建和管理节点的更多信息。层次结构的结构基于您创建的节点以及如何将它们关联起来以对组织结构进行建模。

手动创建和管理节点

您可以手动创建和关联节点以构建层次结构。对于更大规模的集成,建议使用学生信息系统集成。

创建、编辑、删除和移动节点

要创建新节点,请执行以下作:

  1. 在“管理员面板”的社区模块中,选择机构层次结构

  2. 选择要添加节点的分支。选择创建节点。这会将节点添加到所选分支。

  3. 在所需的名称字段中输入名称。例如:“学术院系、学院和部门”。

  4. 必填标识符字段预已预填了灰色文本。强烈建议将标识符重命名为对您的机构具有描述性的内容。此标识符可用于数据集成。要添加上下文,请构建包含分支路径的标识符。例如:“ASCD”。

  5. 选择提交。这会将节点添加到层次结构中。您应该会看到侧面板上显示的新节点。

创建节点后,您可以添加子节点、管理员、课程、组织、用户和工具等属性,从而实现该节点层级的功能。

创建子节点

创建子节点会在所选节点下方添加一个后代节点。

  1. 选择要为其创建子节点的节点。

  2. 子项选项卡中,选择创建节点

  3. 在所需的名称字段中输入名称。例如:“文理学院”。

  4. 在可选的标识符字段中输入描述性标识符。对于子节点,建议将父节点 ID 作为子标识符的一部分。这样做能随着层级结构变得更复杂而增加上下文信息。例如:“ASCD-CAS.”

  5. 选择“提交”。这将添加嵌套在父节点下的子节点。

移动层次结构级别的节点

可将节点移动至不同的层次结构级别。移动节点时,会保留已向其添加的管理员、课程、组织、用户和子节点。

  1. 导航至要移动的层次结构级别的节点。

  2. 打开节点的菜单,然后选择移动

  3. 搜索要将当前节点移动至其中的层次结构级别的节点。

  4. 选择提交

Delete a node

Deleting a node permanently removes that organizational unit from the hierarchy. Any users, courses, or roles associated with the deleted node will lose that association and any rules or configurations applied through it. Because deletion can affect reporting, access controls, and downstream configurations, it’s recommended to review all dependencies before removing a node. This action cannot be undone

  1. In the Administrator Panel, in the Communities module, select Institutional Hierarchy.

  2. Select the chevron for the node you want to delete and choose Delete.

  3. Select Submit.

    小心

    Deleting a node and its children will also remove their associated repositories in the Learning Object Repository. Any associated objects will be disconnected, making them fully editable within courses and organizations.

添加管理员

要添加管理员,请执行以下作:

  1. 选择要向其添加管理员的节点。

  2. 选择要向其添加管理员的节点。

  3. 管理员选项卡中,选择添加管理员

  4. 在所需的名称字段中输入用户名。您也可以浏览用户名。

  5. 角色区域在要选择的项目下显示在此环境中创建的系统角色。选择适当的角色并将其移动到所选项目字段。

  6. 选择提交。所选用户将被添加为管理员,并获得与该节点及其子节点相关的特定角色权限。

编辑或删除层次结构级别的管理员

  1. 导航至要编辑或移除的管理员的层次结构级别的节点。

  2. 选择管理员标签。

  3. 找到要编辑或删除的管理员并打开其菜单。

  4. 选择编辑删除

Manage associations

Associations define how courses, organizations, users, programs, subjects, tools, and repositories are connected to an institution’s Institutional Hierarchy. These associations establish ownership, inheritance, and governance rules.

重要

通过学生信息系统集成添加课程、组织或用户可能比手动方法更容易。

Add courses, organizations, users, programs, or subjects to a node

The steps below are the same for all objects. Substitute the relevant object name in each step.

  1. In the Administrator Panel, in the Communities module, select Institutional Hierarchy.

  2. Select the node you want to add objects to.

  3. Select the relevant tab (for example, Courses or Users).

  4. Select Add [Object}.

  5. Search for and select the objects you want to add.

  6. Select Submit.

You can also add an object to a node from its create or edit page.

Add tools to a node

  1. In the Administrator Panel, in the Communities module, select Institutional Hierarchy.

  2. Select the node you want to add tools to.

  3. Select the Tools tab.

  4. In the Availability column, select ON for the desired tool.

  5. Select Submit.

注意

Tabs are unique to the Original experience and are no longer supported. Modules are unique to Original courses and organizations; they are not supported by Blackboard Ultra.

Set primary associations

A course or user can have multiple associations, mirroring your institution. A course's primary association is used to designate rules around tool access and configuration for that course.

您可以将 学生信息系统 数据集成用作一次性流程,也可以自动执行该流程,以便层次结构反映数据源中的更改。您可以使用分隔文件、XML 文件,也可以使用 Anthology 的 Blackboard REST API 之一。

  • Academic structure. The example course is taught within the Chemistry department, but is also related to the Physics department. Since both chemistry and physics are physical sciences, the course is also associated with the School of Physical Sciences. Since the School of Physical Sciences is part of the College of Arts and Sciences, the course is also associated with the College of Arts and Sciences. The Physical Chemistry course section now has four node associations to mirror a common university academic structure.

  • Campus structure. The example course can be associated with an institution’s downtown campus to indicate where the specific course offering meets.

When you have multiple associations to a course, there is one that's designated as primary. This primary association is used for determining specific rules around tool access and configuration. For example, an English department may not be using Blackboard's Roster tool, so the appropriate system administrator can turn it off. But in that college’s History department uses the Roster tool, so tool access would be configured differently. In another case, a Physics department may license a particular tool that it pays for. This integration is made through the primary association of the Physics department’s node.

Select a primary node association

From a new or existing object:

  1. Create or edit an object, such as a course or user.

  2. Select Find Node.

  3. Search for a node and select it.

  4. Select Submit.

    注意

    If more than one node is associated, select the one you want to be primary.

It is recommended that primary associations are made where policies, budgets, and tool purchases are determined. This is generally where decisions are made about tool use and access.
