Let's Talk Shop

Hi everyone - in another lifetime, I worked with a team to develop an app to help check people into ILTs.I do love that a workflow for working with QR Codes that an instructor points out during their engagement will help to “unpair” what used to be a corner with Learning Evaluations and is coming along to Go.Learn.But this represents just one workflow when it comes to ILTs and helping to reduce the burden with checking people into/out of learning events.  A question - is there any interest in other ILT checkin workflows?A few examples - is there interest in a workflow fora person that is walking into a training event to enter an identifier into an iPad to be verified at the time of checking in? a person that is walking into a training event to sign into a traditional sign in sheet that has an identifier that can be scanned in later (meaning a code is scan-able along the line that the sign-in sheet has the person’s name)? an instructor or proctor scans a person’s badge before they walk

Hi everyone,This is our first full year in Docebo, and my team’s first time going through a Learning Plan reset. I have a plan and have been testing it in Sandbox, but I’m worried I’m overlooking something and will find out what it is the painful way. For those of you who have lived through this process, can you review my proposed plan and poke holes in it? Overview:We have several divisions in our company, and each has multiple Learning Plans for their different service lines. In total, I’d say we have at least 100 Learning Plans (including new hire learning plans and annual), and each one has very complicated enrollment groups/rules that I don’t want to have to tinker with. Some of our courses are on multiple learning plans with equivalences, so I’m also concerned about making sure I’m doing those steps in the best order so that the enrollment status is correct.Our Subject Matter experts are mostly keeping their plans the same, but we are probably replacing/adding around 30-40 course

I had a SME approach me and wanted to think about trickle curriculum with deployments having after an alotted timeframe. After the persons first day at work. After the persons first 30 days at work. After the persons first 90 days at work. Lets keep it simple and say they would be delivered a course at that particular time. Is that all achieved with prerequisites????

Is anyone else dealing with issues using the Automation App? We are finding out that using the SFTP portion of the Automation Appt requires the SHA-1 algorithm, that is being turned off throughout the industry as systems are updated to new standards.What mechanisms are you using to get your HR data / users into Docebo? The SFTP option is definitely off the table for us now.We will likely have to go to a Docebo Connect solution, but I feel like Docebo should be able to support a solution other than something developed in 1995, and is currently being deprecated throughout the IT industry. 

My team and I are starting to build a “How To” course for all new hires. For many of our users, this is their first time using an LMS. We've already drafted sections on how to use the search bar, navigate the side menu, and find onboarding plans.I’d love to hear if anyone has created a similar course—what did you include? 😊

Hello! I wanted to see if anyone had a best practice for how to set up a survey that may require multiple completions from the same user. The company is wanting to house as many survey responses in our platform as possible, and one use case we have is “Hiring Manager Survey”, to get feedback from our Hiring Managers on their experience. My initial gut reaction is to send them through Forms, but wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone has come up with a good way to do this in Docebo. Thanks in Advance :)

Hello Everyone,I thought I might drop a post that could potentially be helpful for someone who experiences the same sort of thing as I do each time I have to renew my SSL certificates.ContextOur IT department sends me a single PFX file when it is time to update the certs.IssueDocebo needs to receive three distinct files. The Cert, The Intermediate CA, and the KeySolutionI make use of an application called OpenSSL (free/open source).I have a folder with the openssl executable inside.Place your PFX file in the same folder as the executableOpen this folder location in your command prompt To get the Key - enter the followingopenssl pkcs12 -in nameOfFile.pfx -nocerts -out nameYouWant.pem -nodesEnter the password - (note that the screen will not update)Open nameYouwant.pem with notepadRemove all the stuff except-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----All the cryptic stuff in the middle-----END PRIVATE KEY-----Save it out as myKey.pem To get the Cert - enter the followingopenssl pkcs12 -in nameOfFile.pfx

We are uploading Articulate Storyline xAPI files to use in Docebo. Some of the files have videos embedded. We always set our Articulate timeline to be the same duration as the video itself so that the user can click Next as soon as the video ends. Recently we’ve had users at one organization report that the course progress bar takes A LOT longer than the video so they are stuck on the screen for many minutes after the video ends while they wait for the Next button to become enabled. I have not been able to reproduce this myself, but I was able to witness it happening for an end user. Unfortunately his organization does not allow him to create HAR files so we are a bit stuck as far as troubleshooting. Has anyone else seen this? For a while I thought it must be that they were clicking away from the site once the video started to play and that caused the course progress bar to pause while the video continued to play, but that is not the case. 

I just noticed that the groups we have setup for automatic enrollments did not update this AM. As a result, none of our new hires from yesterday have received critical new hire training. I checked the attributes of an employee and they should meet the requirements for a group. They weren’t appearing. I did add a period to the description and saved/refreshed it; only then did she appear in the group. Looks like our groups are outdated as of yesterday, Sunday, February 16, 2025.I suspect there is something bigger going on with groups between what DKlinger is experiencing on another thread with group updates and my team.

Hello Community,  I am curious to see how xAPI is working for those who use it vs SCORM. We are considering exploring it, but I wanted to learn from others experience in this space. Do we need a LRS along with Docebo to make the most use of it? How does the in house reporting compare to SCORM? Thanks! 

Hello!  My company is looking to optimize Docebo, and the amount of work we’d like to complete will require more than just me (as the sole LMS admin).Does anyone have recommendations for reputable contractors to help with Docebo work?  Our Docebo implementation was outsourced to a third-party contractor and it did not go well, so we are hesitant to choose just any contracting company.  I appreciate any advice and recommendations y’all can share.  :)  

@abartunek @josefinarod mentioned using PowerBI in another post and thought it might be interesting to port over to a separate post for discussion. So first a basic question. How do you link your data up to PowerBI? Do you export and then attach the data to PowerBI? Do you use the API? Is there an integration app? I’ve been using Google Data Studio for our dashboards which I love and is super easy but obviously, it’s not a live link so I have to manually update the data every month and it’s quite tedious. I’ve also thought about using Tableau but is there a live link? I don’t use the API and am not that technical.

Our company offers product training subscriptions to our customers and partners and we are in the process of implementing PayPal to enable self-serve purchasing. We discovered through testing that a user is able to purchase a subscription plan multiple times which puts both us and our customers as risk of losing revenue, increased administrative tasks and an unpleasant experience for both sides. Ideally, when a user purchases a limited time subscription, they should not be able to re-purchase the same item until the initial subscription expires. The system should alert them they are already enrolled in an active subscription and not allow them to proceed with adding it to their cart.Overall, I think subscriptions need a little more love! They are a very useful tool for our company to help our customers get access to the training they need with little friction. 

Good Morning All,We have a growing number of managers who would like to use our assets in our library to provide support to employees who may be on a PIP (performance improvement plan).  As an example...we have an employee that could benefit from reading four or five articles we have tagged for communication.  I’d like to have record that this person read these prior to a coaching session. Ideally, I want to avoid creating a course for one person.  I’d be open to creating a playlist that can be assigned and tracked (if that is a possibility). Looking for any guidance on this one!

Morning - I did a double take twice...and now I feel like I should ask the crowd for a sanity check:I was working with two manual groups (loaded via CSV) to be loaded into a course (a normal day)One of the groups accidentally had been loaded with an identical listing of people. So I removed all users from it. I mapped another listing via CSV this AM. Let me illustrate it below.91 for group 1 11 for group 2My math gets me to 102 users that I will be enrolling (except if they have already mapped themselves to the course).And just keeping things straight - incorrect count of users were put into “OPK-US” (91 of them).When I select the users and go to enroll them:Those look correct….. - I get this back:Either my math is failing or I am about to do something wrongSo - if someone can talk me off a ledge - is that happening with your instance????? 

We are creating a collection of courses that stack into a credential. We wanted to attach a certificate to completing all the courses in the bundle.I was thinking we would use learning plans, but we don’t want the users to HAVE to take the courses in order, or even take all of them. But if they do take all of them, we’d like them to get a certificate. To be clear and keep it simple, if we have 5 courses that learners can take in any order, how can we put them in docebo to show that they completed a certain certificate if they complete all 5?  PS - it says in this attending learning plans article that you can take a learning plan in free or sequential order: https://help.docebo.com/hc/en-us/articles/11414202170898-Attending-learning-plans I just can’t figure out how to do the free order. Help! Thanks!   

This may feel like a silly one coming from a person that has been working on the platform going on 4 years, but that Duplicate training material option….what exactly does it mean when your primary repository is the CLOR???That doesnt generate a new copy inside of the CLOR - right????Or is it that it is ready to use the same training materials in the CLOR?It is easy to test - just wondering….as I have the community on one screen in the AM for my first cup o’ joe.

Is there anyone here who works with OSHA standards and codes for certifications/licenses? If so, I’d love to chat about if you track your trainings/certifications in Docebo and how so? Or, if you don’t, why you don’t. 

Hello,Hoping someone can help me with understanding the concepts of the Homepages and Menus. I’m not super technical w Docebo yet, but I have a use case where we would like to display information to our instructors only, and a second use case where we would like specific information on courses and homework et al displayed to members of a Specific Cohort. Would we build separate pages for each, and then ‘assign’ those pages to those user groups via Menus? And where would these pages display? We have currently one menu that displays the following: would these new pages be tabs in this menu? and if so, would only the specific User Groups be able to see them? Thank you! 

Our instructional design team creates our courses via scorm with each course ending with a course conclusion knowledge check. Checked within the knowledge base and confirmed that the reporting should display the missed questions for the learner (https://help.docebo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020080200-Checking-the-course-report) but our more recent courses have not been displaying it. When looking at a learners report, it will just indicate a reference number without showing me the question asked or responses (example below):  When it used to consistently display like this: Is this a setting somewhere or perhaps something to do with our scorm package used to create the course in. Either way, it’s making it very difficult to help a learner figure out where they went wrong if I can’t see what is being asked… HELP!

I have always been worried about a system that is too chatty.When I came to work for my current org? I found that the one largest learning system instance had a user enrolled notification was essentially set on full blast with all courses triggering notifications (that I eventually helped to shut down). To many it felt horrible, if you enrolled yourself, you got an email. If someone else enrolled you? You got an email. If the course was part of a learning plan?? A person got two or more emails. Working at places 10X the size of where I am currently at makes me know that larger organizations dont stand for it and will even cap system notifications if they seem like they are being spoofed.IMHO - that's not the way to configure things. I truly believe in the mantra that “less is more”. It is more powerful when you deploy targeted notifications to campaigns and onboarding programs. This paired with protecting the function of a manager to have an option to deploy a notification to only thei

With the latest updates, we found that all labels have been changed to sentence case...is there a reason for this? Will this be fixed at a later time?@erin.brisson Any thoughts?

I just read that….Meta said it was scrapping its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts due to a "shifting legal and policy landscape"….which invariably has an impact in our domains as other big companies get on board with this.I have survived waves of change by staying closer to the compliance and onboarding sides of training and learning. But I believe that we should hold onto our hats for the next few. Waves are going to get choppy and rougher to ride out.Let me know what you think.

Hi all,I was just wondering if anyone has found an accurate and cost-effective solution for creating closed captions for videos. We’d like to add closed captions to all our English videos to improve accessibility and help non-native speakers understand them. If you know of a good solution, either automatic generation or contract service, please let me know!Thanks,Daniel 

Hi All,We are looking at starting to use the LMS badges with gamification and I was wondering if anybody measures the sucess of using the badges? If so, what metrics are you using and is it working? Are you using them for course completion, visibility(if sharing to social media) motivation etc.Thanks!
