I’ve tested these attributes with and w/o expiry dates. Still unclear on the purpose of these attributes.

I just noticed this feature in staging as well. I can see it being helpful for our mandatory Quality courses, but the only way we could use this is at the course properties level not the user enrollment level. Also is there going to be an API endpoint for this? I also found information on this new course feature.

I found this interesting feature here: 

… and was glad to see that it will finally be implemented - only to find out that this feature is probably not yet fully developed. Here are a few things I noticed during my initial quick tests:

• I agree with @lrnlab  that the difference between the individual attributes is not entirely clear.
  For example, what happens if a course is mandatory and the user never completes it? Will he get a reminder after a certain amount of time? Or does the admin get a reminder? The mandatory attribute probably makes more sense in combination with a deadline…
   
• Even if @BRobinson states that enrolment attributes only make sense at the level of course properties, they can in our use cases also be important at the level of user enrolment. Namely, when a team manager enrols members and marks certain courses as mandatory for them. Unfortunately this is not the case, no matter whether the team manager is a user, a Power User or an Admin!
   
• Courses that have the mandatory attribute should appear in a user’s “My Tasks”, but they don’t.
   
• Courses which have an enrolment attribute should also appear under “My Activities” for courses and/or learning plans, but they don’t (also not on the statistics page which would be helpful as well).
   
• Also for Admins and Team managers, this information would be helpful when they check the user’s or team member’s “personal summary” page.​​​​

As mentioned above, these are just my first impressions of this new function.

Thanks for this thread @lrnlab and @Uwe Sprengart for your summary. Yeah this needs to keep on moving along for it to be a full-blown implemented feature with an impact in My Team View and the task and maybe even catalog widgets. It will continue to confuse people as a “tag only”. Keep on moving Onward / Upward. Keep on going Docebians and do not leave us here with something that can be so much more useful.

This was shared on the December Release Readiness webinar yesterday: 

A group in my organization would like to make certain courses in a learning plan optional, but only for certain users and not for others. It would be nice if this feature could eventually be used for that purpose.

you mean you’d like to have 1 LP but when you assign it to your users, you would want to set different priority levels for the same course(s)? did a quick test and while you can set the enrolment priority for a user enrolled in a course via the LP, it doest seem to have any effect on the LP settings of optional/mandatory….It only appears on the course card under My Courses - so not really connected to the LP views.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I tested as well. Enrollment priority currently doesn’t have any bearing on how a learning plan is marked as completed. We’d like to be able to assign one learning plan to a set of users, but make it so some users only have to complete certain courses to complete the plan, while others would need to complete all courses in the plan.

Then you likely need to create copies of your LP so you can apply different rules to the courses for each group of users...does that make sense?

Yeah that’s the solution we are going with now.

If you haven't already, can you open an Idea for the Enrolment priorities in LPs? I’d be happy to vote it up. Thx

Thanks, I just posted it:

voted up, thx.
