This script will customize the content of the Add People window in Canvas.

customize_add_people.js

$(document).ready(function(){
	//The function below checks to see that an element has rendered. When called
	//the function will look for a particular selector. Do not remove.
	function onElementRendered(selector, cb, _attempts) {
		var el = $(selector);
		_attempts = ++_attempts || 1;
		if (el.length) return cb(el);
		if (_attempts == 60) return;
		setTimeout(function() {
			onElementRendered(selector, cb, _attempts);
		}, 250);
	}

	onElementRendered('#addUsers', function() {
		$('#addUsers').on('click', function() {
			if (window.location.pathname.indexOf('courses') > -1) {
				// Hide the "Login ID" on the "Add People" screen on the people page within a course
				$('[for="peoplesearch_radio_cc_path"]').hide();
				// Hide the example text
				$("div.addpeople div>span:contains('Example:')").parent().hide()
				// Change the text for "Login ID" and "SIS ID" to "NID" and "UCFID", respectively
				$('[for="peoplesearch_radio_unique_id"] span:nth-child(2) span:nth-child(2)').text('NID');
				$('[for="peoplesearch_radio_sis_user_id"] span:nth-child(2) span:nth-child(2)').text('UCFID');
			}
		});
	});
});

I am inspired by your function onElementRendered(selector, cb, _attempts) to tweak some other elements on the course site. Thank you

I'm glad it helped! I believe I got that function from the Canvas Community somewhere. Others have moved from this method to using a MutationObserver, but I haven't experimented with that yet.

Thanks, Jacob for your reply. Since you mentioned MutationObserver, I will look into it. I hope we will have a session in the annual conference of Canvas(Oct. 15th) to share what can be done through the Global JS; showcases of the implementation from all schools. It would be very helpful for the newbies like Princeton. Have a great day, Jacob.
