Hi all, I’m pulling my hair out here. I am trying to import certification records from our old LMS into Docebo. I have been following the directions in the knowledge base and the field formatting outlined here: https://www.docebo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Certification-Data-Fields-Certification-Data-Fields-ENG.pdfDespite the date format clearly being YYYY-MM-DD as required as you can see on the import screenshot below as well if you open the csv file in notepad I still get the error: “Invalid parameter: issue_date”.Can anyone spot what I’m doing wrong?Many thanks,Aimee

This looks like it is going to be a running nightmare with Docebo, especially since we want (and paid for) a branded mobile app.  Has anyone successfully logged in with such a scenario? E.g. Bobby works at Bob Smith Company. He logs in to his BSC SSO which redirects to my SSO, logs him in to our association internal website and he clicks a link to go to the LMS. We’re told this will not work on mobile. Has anyone rebuilt their SSO to get around such an issue?

We are new to API. Our LMS Admin team is pretty smart but don’t have prior API knowledge. Is there a good resource to get us started so we can take advantage of Docebo’s API? Is there a 3rd party software you use to make the API interface more user-friendly for lay people?

How do you create group assignments by learning path completions?

Anything faster than using Docebo to create the quizzes would be great. Need to bang out a hundred or so 5 question quizzes.  Contemplating just doing it in notepad++

Is there any way of preventing learners accessing course material until the start date of a session/event?We are are about to launch ILT on our Docebo instance (we have been using eLearning for about 4 years).  One of the great benefits for us s that we can load course material in course shell and that will save us hours of admin time.  In our case we only sell training (no internal use case) to our external customers. we have over 500 different ILT/vILT coursesI am sure that, like many of you, the initial set of students to be enrolled on a course do not turn out to be the final students that actually attend the session/event. This leaves us with a problem. We want to add learners as early as possible in order to use the automated notifications etc.(again reducing admin) however those students who are initially enrolled can access and download the course material as soon as they are enrolled. Given that on average 25%+ turn out to be not the final students we potentia

Anyone figure out how to leverage these neat little animations coming out of the lottiefiles space?I have figured out how to add subtle animated gifs….but that is not the same….

Dear Team,Our platform is used by internals and externals. Is there possible to hide the “Avatar image upload” on my profile page? If yes, it could be better option for us.

Dear allI have created a course and some user have completed it. But I have updated my course:uploaded a updated SCORM on a existing LO uploaded a brand new SCORM as new LODespite those changes:the courses still appears as completed and I didn’t find any way to inform my users : “hey course XXX has been updated, check it out !”Any suggestions or idea to ease the process?

I want to be able to send out the enrollment link to a course to users who are NOT yet registered in the platform. Clicking the link will take them through the register process and upon successful registration, they are automatically enrolled in the course I sent them the link to.I thought I had figured out who to achieve that by:Platform advanced settings - Free self-registration Course properties - enable enrollment link; show course in internal catalogs only ; self-enrollments are availableHowever, with those settings ANY learner in the platform can enroll the course, and i don't want that. I only want learners with the enrollment link to be able to enroll.I initially had the course properties as “show course only to enrolled users”, but that meant that the self-registered users couldn’t see it in order to enroll on it.Any ideas how I can set this up?

We are using the platform currently with the self-registration setting.  Users requesting to register are pending approval from a poweruser.  My question:  Is there a way to customize a message that goes out when a registration is rejected?

I’ve adjusted some scorm settings on objects in the repository (view mode). These changes are not reflected in the course they have been pushed to even after a refresh. Does this mean I need to remove them from the course and push them all again?Also extra points for any creative suggestions. The SCORM files in question seem to require scrolling to see the inbuilt next buttons no matter how they are displayed which is super annoying and no time to redesign before launch (although we will eventually). The best UX is to have it open in a new window, which I hate but at least the user can tell there is a button down there. The only option I find to set a display size for the SCORM output is by displaying it ‘inline’ which isn’t an option as it is way too small that way. Any other creative suggestions? I only need to shave off about 50 px in height.  Thanks very much,Aimee 

OK - Does anyone else experience this issue…? Working on making some quizzes-put in a couple questions-get distracted for a couple minutes - (no-literally just a couple)  may not even be distracted - just thinking a few moments about a good quiz question.-go back to quiz-screen blanks out-must navigate away and back again to get screen to reappear.Super frustrating!Please tell me that I need to simply check a box somewhere.Is there a solution to this other than not taking any mouse or keyboard breaks?

I just thought I would take a moment to provide some general ideas and encouragement for those who are interested in learning how to code some HTML and CSS. The word “CODE” might bring along some of the same anxiety that the word “MATH” does for some people but - fear not! You can do this and I think you will be so glad that you did. No formal schooling required...The Browser Console is Your Friend!I really suggest that you take time to get familiar with the browser console if you aren’t already. The Elements tab of the console will reveal a great deal of styling and code that is currently in play and even allow you to make changes for immediate rendering in the browser without permanently changing anything. Once you find the style and look you want - you can make changes in your actual file or platform. You should be able to either press F12 on a webpage or right click and choose Inspect or some other

Has anyone here used Doodly for creating eLearning assets?I am curious to know what you think of it.The $67 one-time fee deal (vs $468/year) seems too good to be true but I would consider it if others have had positive results.

Is it possible to create fields that the user can fill in themselves either in the profile or a course?I see the option in Advance Settings to force users to fill in mandatory fields upon log in but is there anyway to make a field that is not mandatory but they can edit on their profile? Thanks,Aimee 

Hello, there!During our last webinar meeting about this month’s releases there was mention that there would be new limitations on what reports managers can pull over those within their hierarchy. Now, my team is new to the Docebo Community page, so I might have just missed it, but is there a place I can locate additional information about what is coming as far as changes go? So far the only information I can find on what reports a manager can pull on their Team is what I find in this article: Reports for Managers – Docebo Help & Support. 

How can I pull a report that shows each user and the total hours/minutes they spent in the LMS? The information is captured in the “My Activities” as shown below. There must be some way to report on each user and the total number of hours minutes? I was told no from the Docebo Help Desk, but I know there are smart people in this community!!  

Is it possible to hide the page icon and name and white box? It takes up a lot of prime real estate and since we use a banner that says the same thing and it appears in the bread crumb it ends up that the same thing is repeated three times. Many thanks,Aimee 

We have several users that do not have their own laptops, so we provide iPads for them to use to access Docebo.In several courses, we have policies that we require the learners to read, which consist of PDF links provided via iFrame using an HTML page activity. However, we have found that if the PDF consists of multiple pages, the learners can only view the first page via the iFrame when viewing it on the iPads.Does anyone know of a solution that would allow the learners to scroll through all of the pages of the PDF via the HTML page using an iPad?Thank you

On our current custom LMS we have confetti fall from the top of the browser window when a user completes a course. I’ve experienced it myself and its surprisingly motivating and fun! Is there any way to do something like this in Docebo?

Those of you who work within a complex organizational structure, what have you found works best for simple/smart user groups for assignments?For example, right now in CSOD, we use Cost Centers a lot, but it’s inconsistent and people fall in/out of the groups and may not be assigned correctly.  This is not a practice we want to bring over to Docebo.Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.

I’ve recently started testing MyTeams. For the reporting tab, is there a way to automate reports so they are automatically sent out to managers every week?

In this example, we have a set of five divs arranged horizontally. When you click on a colored div and hold, it will reveal the “rest of the box”.This is perhaps an “expansion” of the click to reveal box in Idea #8.Someone more fluent than I am may have an easier way to pull this off but I’ve been having a good time playing around with these ideas and thought many of you might benefit from that as well.This is what I ended up with.CSS Accordion EffectHere is the code for you to play with./* Accordion *//* This is the CSS for the Branding and Look section */.accBox { width: 25px; height: 175px; margin: 25px; padding: 10px; position: absolute; white-space: nowrap; top: 0px; color: #f
