How do I view Canvas Infinite Campus roster job sync details?

View Sync Progress Steps
The Job Details page displays the rostering sync steps. To view an explanation for each step, hover over the Information icon [1].
Rostering jobs include the following steps:
- Roster Extract Progress [2]: sync data is extracted from the source. The sync configuration determines the data pulled from your SIS for update or add in Canvas. To view details about the extracted data, view the Extract Details tab [3].
- Data Conversion Progress [4]: extracted data is converted from its original format into Canvas format. If your institution's SIS integration leverages SFTP CSV file uploads, the data is already configured in Canvas format and a sync may skip this step. To view details about the converted data, open the Conversion Details tab [5].
- Canvas Imports Progress [6]: SIS rostering data is added or updated in Canvas. Your sync configurations determine the number of import batches associated with each rostering job sync. If the sync configuration includes multiple SIS imports, a completed status displays when all imports successfully complete. To view details about individual import batches, open the Import Details tabs [7].

Note: Canvas queries SIS import progress in 5 minute intervals. Small rostering syncs may actually import into Canvas before the progress data updates in the Job Details page.
