How do I compare the course average data table with an assignment, section, or student filter in New Analytics?
As part of viewing the average course grade in a data table, you can use filters to compare section, student, and assignment results with the course average.
Notes:
- If you cannot view the New Analytics link in Course Navigation, you may have to make the link visible via the Navigation tab in Course Settings. If the New Analytics link is not available in the Navigation tab, your institution has disabled this feature.
- Data is refreshed in New Analytics every 24 hours. Please confirm the time the data was last updated in the course, as content may be outdated compared to recent course activity and student submissions.
- In order for New Analytics to display in Canvas, third-party cookies may need to be enabled in your browser settings.

Each filter and color are displayed on the side of the table. Each filter displays its data on a single row.
