Thank you in advance for your help.

 

For a new course we launched we wanted to assign to all staff and give them 50 days from enrollment date as their due date (soft deadline on). Now that the 50 days is fast approaching, we wanted to remove the days of validity for future new hires that we assign this course. Assuming all those who have already been assigned the course with eh due date, would remain unchanged, when I disabled the enable days of validity for this course, it removed the end date from all currently assigned. So I am curious what I did wrong or how should I remove days of validity but keep what has already been assigned? I see the setting’ Apply settings to all users, including those already enrolled’ but that looks like if I want to make a change to the number of days I could update all enrollments if I wanted but not to remove the days of validity altogether.   Thanks!

 

 

didn't think it worked that way but you can add the “end of validity” date manually…

  • ON the enrolment page, locate your users (hopefully you can find them as a group) and select them
  • then use the “Choose Action” on the bottom right and choose Edit Enrolment
  • Check the box, Enrolment validity period
  • Enter your due date
  • Click Confirm

this will add back the due date only for the selected users.

Thank you. I did do that since it removed it but wanted to see if there was something I missed or should have done a different way as to avoid manually reapplying the validity date.

None that I know of...applying the due date gives you the option to apply it to those previously enrolled or not but it seems (as you tested) that when you remove it, it goes away for everyone...maybe next time, pull your reports first so you have a list ion who had what due date and then remove it for all and re-apply...no easy way sadly.

Thank you for confirming I hadn’t missed something there.
