Assignment Relinking

Deep Integration - Instructor Course Copy/Relink

Assignment Relinking  Process
The Assignment Relinking Process is generally a one time process. The purpose of relinking is to update the internal pairing links that SIMnet uses to communicate with your LMS assignments. When you copy a LMS class the assignment links point toward the source SIMnet class, the SIMnet relinking process will update these assignment links to match your current SIMnet class.
Warning: You may use the relinking process to push or pull dates to and from SIMnet and the LMS after your first relink. However, be sure not to overwite your work by prematurely pulling in data from the LMS to SIMnet.

 ♻
 1. Copy your LMS section with the SIMnet assignment links
Note - This may be completed by your LMS admin or course coordinator. If you need assistance with this step, please reach out to your LMS admin.
​💫
 2. Copy your SIMnet section.
Warning - ⚠
 You must copy the SIMnet section that was paired to the LMS section you copied in step 1. Copying a different section will cause the relink process to fail because the new SIMnet section won't contain the same assignments as the original LMS section.
