Is there a report that shows Catalog information?

Has anyone found a way to extract the Catalog codes and names from a report? I can’t find a way to get that information other that going into each catalog and noting the information in a spreadsheet of my own making. If the Catalog page worked like the Learning Plans page, I wouldn’t need to do this, but it would still be useful to know how many users frequent particular catalogs.

Thank you!

@TrishAH There aren’t reports that can do this.  You’re looking at using the API endpoints for something like this. BFarkas has done some wonderful community posts and webinars about the API browser. I’d look in that direction for more specific help.

      @TrishAH if you use the Course Export you can see what catalogues each course is a part of...maybe that;’s enough for what you need?

      The course export does give me what I need, albeit over three reports. Thank you!

      I don’t have access to free API development so anything i can do on the platform is helpful.

      Spent a while looking for an answer and found this.

      1. Navigate to the Administration Menu and click on Course Management.
      2. Click the master checkbox at the top-left of the table to Select All courses (or manually check the specific courses you wish to audit).
      3. Look at the bottom-right corner of the screen and click the green Choose Action button.
      4. Select Export Courses Data from the action menu.
      5. On the first configuration step, choose your preferred file format (such as .XLS or CSV) and click Next.
      6. On the next screen, scroll down to the bottom and check the box for Export Usage Data.
      7. Ensure that Catalogs is selected (you can also select Learning Plans or Channels here if needed).
      8. Click Export.

      In the ZIP file there will be one .xlsx file that is called usage_data which has a column titled Resource type that will contain either Learning Plan, Catalogue, Channel. The column named Title will contain the name of the respective resource which is how I found the catalogues the course is placed in.
