Error message | Solution |
---|---|
A category is required. To sync, first assign a category to this assignment, then sync again. | Adjust your mapping or create a new grading category on the Configuration page of your Teacher App. |
This assignment cannot be synced. A change has been detected in the SIS. To sync, first delete this assignment in eSchoolPlus, then sync again. | The assignment was edited from the eSchool gradebook, instead of Schoology, and the assignment sync has been broken. To resolve this, clear all grades in your eSchool gradebook and delete the item from your eSchool gradebook. Then, open the eSchool App in Schoology again and re-sync the item. |
The assignment could not be created. Please make sure the assignment due date is within your eSchoolPlus marking period for the section. | The Schoology assignment's due date is outside the grading period for this course in eSchool. Or the due date is marked as a holiday or no school in eSchool. Adjust the due date in Schoology and then re-sync. |
