The campus D2L admin are only able to automatically add new Navbar buttons/links for courses that use the standard D2L navigation bar. If you already had a custom Navbar when Spartan Ally was activated you may not see Ally Report on your course menu.

1. Place your mouse over the right end of your course navigation bar, click the three dots (...), and choose Edit This Navbar.
2. Under the Links section of the Edit Navbar page, click the Add Link button.
3. At the top of the resulting Add Links window, click the Create Custom Link button.
4. In the Create Custom Link window, enter "Ally Report" in the name field and click the Insert Quicklink button.
5. In the Insert Quicklink window, find and select the External Learning Tools item.
6. In the resulting window, choose Ally Instructor Report Tool from the LTI link list. This will add the Ally Report link to the Create Custom Link URL field.
