For our ILT, we have multiple different sessions per “course”. We want all sessions, or the ones the learner attended, printed on the certificate. For some reason, only one of the sessions will show up though. For example, how would I get both of these below sessions to show on the certificate?

As far as I understand the logic in Docebo, a session is generally considered to be a full instance of course content - hence users are asked to select a single session when they enroll.

Then - within a session, you have events that represent individual lessons/meetings that together cover all subjects of the course. 

 

I typically think of it like this:

The course is, for example

  • Introduction to reporting and analysis.

Sessions are:

  • Introduction to reporting and analysis (EMEA)
  • Introduction to reporting and analysis (APAC)
  • Introduction to reporting and analysis (US) 

Or

  • Introduction to reporting and analysis (2023.Q1)
  • Introduction to reporting and analysis (2023.Q4)

Within each session, there is the same set of events like:

  • Data analytics essentials
  • Designing reports
  • ...

In that case, having the session name on the certificate is what’s needed, as it covers the topic and specific instance that was completed by the person. 

 

Back to your question, I think that an easy solution would be to either add a course description to a certificate template (and put there only the list of topics) or create a course-level custom field, put there all the topics that you want to have listed on the certificate, and then add this to the template using the acoursefield_X] short-code (where X is the number reflecting the right custom filed - you will see it in the template editor). I’m not sure however if you will be able to add formatting/new lines there. 

This will however be the same for all learners, and not dynamically including only the sessions/lessons which they attended.
