Question

Need to report quiz attempts across multiple archived enrollments (not available in custom reports)

Hello everyone,

I'm working with a client and we're facing a limitation with reporting on quiz attempts in relation to archived enrollments.

🔹 Context:
Learners are allowed two attempts on a quiz.
Once both attempts are used, the instructor archives the enrollment to reset the learner’s progress and allow them to retake the quiz — without losing previous data (very important!).

This was a workaround we found, as there is currently no native “reset attempts” feature that retains attempt history.

🔹 Problem:
When viewing archived enrollments (both from the Content Management Report tab and custom reports), we can only see:

  • Enrollment date

  • Completion date

  • Status (e.g., In progress, Completed)

  • Score
    But the number of attempts for the quiz is not shown.

🔹 Compounding issue:
This number of attempts does exist in Content Management > Reports > Training material statistics > [Specific quiz] — but it’s not accessible in any custom report or bulk export.

🔹 Need:
We are looking for a way to:

  1. Extract the number of quiz attempts per user, ideally across all archived and active enrollments

  2. Possibly combine course-level and content-level data in a single report

🔍 If anyone has:

  • A better method than archiving enrollments to reset quizzes

  • A workaround for retrieving attempt counts in bulk

  • Any advanced reporting method

…we’d really appreciate your input!

Thanks a lot,

HI ​@Cynthia we have been asking for this since archiving was launched. All details on training objects including tests, surveys, SCORM, etc. are no longer accessible once the enrolment record is archived. This is a huge issue and we have no way to know where that data went nor can we extract it. If you must use archiving between attempts I recommend you pull a test report (from the reports tab on the course) before you archive and maintain that somewhere in case it’s needed. Until Docebo finds. way to maintain that data, we have opted to choose other methods like assigning another course that contains a make-up exam that, when passed, marks the original as passed yet maintains data for all attempts on both courses. Not ideal and we don't use it for all courses but very much needed for things like compliance tests.

@Cynthia - hey - I know this is less than ideal - but the gradebook concept (Q/A responses) is something that I can show you regardless if you are in an archived course or not - IF you are open to working with SCORM courses.

We use an authoring tool that slaps a learning record store that records all of it. Potentially, it can work for you here.

DM me - I promise I am not a sales rep or consultant, just an enthusiast with a potential answer for your problem.

Thank you both so much for your helpful responses and for sharing your experiences 🙏

I originally chose to go with archived enrollments as a way to preserve completion data while allowing learners to retake the quiz — without resetting their progress on the course content. However, as you confirmed, archived enrollments unfortunately result in the loss of some key data, particularly the number of quiz attempts, which is essential for my client.

So, I’ve decided to take a different approach and no longer rely on archived enrollments.

Instead, I’m going to add a make-up quiz directly within the same e-learning course. This quiz will be locked behind a prerequisite, which will be another quiz with a fill-in-the-blank question acting as a password gate. The password will be shared by the instructor during a follow-up conversation with the learner.

This solution allows us to:

  • Keep all data from the initial attempt,

  • Track multiple attempts within the same course,

  • Avoid the limitations of enrollment archiving, without overcomplicating the learner’s experience.

Thanks again for your input — these kinds of discussions are incredibly valuable for finding smart workarounds! ✨

Wishing you all a great day!

@Cynthia make sure you make both test objects the “end object marker” so if they pass on the first try, the course is marked and completed but if they do not pass that test will show as failed and the course will remain in progress, You will need to also make the make-up quiz an end object marker so that when it’ it’s passed, the course will be marked as completed.

Thanks for the reminder! I had thought about the end marker for the first quiz but not the second — I’ll fix that. Appreciate it!
