Administrative Tools

ANGEL makes administration easier by anticipating your needs and providing tools that simplify complex administrative tasks. Control every aspect of the ANGEL system using ANGEL’s simple online interface and comprehensive administrative toolset.

Role-Based System Administration

ANGEL’s role-based system administration allows you to create multiple administrative roles for different members of your team. System administrators can allocate tasks and scale their team with the environment.

Batch Enrollment & Account Creation Tool

Create accounts and enroll users in courses automatically using data from virtually any delimited file. The tool's wizard interface guides you through the data import process, identifying users who do not have accounts and creating accounts for them. Users who have accounts are enrolled with their existing user IDs. The tool can automatically send a custom email, complete with username, password and ID to users with new accounts and send enrollment notification to users who already have accounts.

Text and Database Import Wizards

Import data from a text-delimited file or from a database on another system into any ANGEL table. ANGEL’s import tool flexibility allows data in nearly any format to be easily synchronized with ANGEL. Use the import wizards to import calendar information, process drop/add files, update personnel files and integrate third-party systems.

Archive and Restore Courses

ANGEL archive and restore tools keep your database free of clutter. They allow you to archive courses and retrieve individual courses without having to restore the entire database of all courses. When an instructor needs information from a deleted course, you can easily retrieve that particular course.

Batch Blackboard, WebCT and IMS Import Tools

ANGEL import tools ease the transition to ANGEL from other systems. Batch import tools create course shells and populate the shells with content from other system’s cartridges. The ability to convert all courses from other Learning Management Systems, like Blackboard or WebCT, in a single task removes the course transition burden from instructors and designers.

Create Reports

ANGEL extends the reports and utilities provided for lesson resources such as assessments and surveys. It allows seamless integration of your custom reports and utilities with preconfigured reports. Custom reports and utilities are on the same pages as the standard items so customizations do not compromise environment usability.  ANGEL’s open database structure also allows you to connect third party reporting tools, such as Business Objects, Microsoft Reporting Services or Crystal Reports to the ANGEL database to run deeper analytical reports.

SQL Query Manager

ANGEL enables you to quickly and easily get information from your database either ad hoc or on your schedule. What is the most active course? Who are the most active users? Type in an ad hoc query against your database to retrieve this or any other type of information. Queries can be saved and can include parameters. A saved query can be run at any time by simply selecting it from a list.
