Questions
Q. Versioning: How do I find where my training materials have been pushed?
- By navigating the Central Repository and clicking on the icon under the “usage” column. This will show all of the courses where that training material lives.
Q. How many course additional fields can there be?
- 50 maximum
Q. What SCORM does Docebo support?
- 1.3 and 2004 3rd edition
Q. Do we have the ability to download content other users have uploaded?
- At this time, we don’t have this ability within the UI but you can download them via API. In the meantime, I suggest taking a look at this idea and leaving your vote!
Q. What happens to the training material status when I version vs overwrite content?
Q. If you add a [training material] to a course, will the course remain 100% complete until the annual compliance is due again or will it affect the course’s completion ?
- There’s a bit to unpack with this question but the answer is essentially yes. A course will remain complete despite new training material being added but their completion percentage (a calculation of the total number of training materials in that course that have been completed) will not be 100 percent. So when you pull a report on a course the user will have a complete status but you might see that their completion percentage isn’t 100 percent. We recommend reporting on the status.
- The second aspect of your question that’s worth digging into has to do with “annual compliance”. Depending on your use case and your needs you might be utilizing the Certifications and Retraining App which allows you to link courses/learning plans to a certification that a user is expected to complete once or year over year. The user would still remain complete in their certification but I just wanted to mention this feature and recommend reading up on it as it sounds like you might be configuring it during your onboarding.
We also received an idea for improvement with respect to having column changes remain the same after navigating away. After a quick look, I found this similar idea related to User Management that you can vote on. FYI, the idea status is set to ‘Parked’ due to technical issues related to how browsers work and their interactions with user impersonation but this status means that while they can’t commit to it right now, they are interested in getting to it in the future.
