Hi! I know there is a way for a learner to be required to upload a file themselves within a course, but is there a way for an admin to upload a file for a user? We have certificates that are issued by third parties, and would like to store them in our LMS. Any best practices for this?

yes, you can use the External Training app, or, we found a option on the user Additional Fields that allows you the admin to upload flies to these user profile. You can also allow the user to see the file if you wish…it’s pretty cool

 


Is it possible to associate either of those to a specific course?

That’s an interesting find! I wonder how different organizations are using this.

not on the profile but you could create another additional field to house the course name...I think the External Training app allows you track a course name but not those created in Docebo. You need to create a course list in the External Training app...that said, you CAN associate an external training record to a Certification built in Docebo.

I’m very interested in learning how that association between an ETR and a Docebo certification would work.

 


Okay, do you know of a specific Docebo University course that can help me with the external training app? I’ve never used it before. Thank you!

I don’t know about courses, but I have used this article to help me with the external training activity app: https://help.docebo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020083460-Activating-and-Managing-the-External-Training-App

 

@lrnlab that is super cool about the File field additional field!  Thinking of other possible applications for that!

 


not sure what the course is named in DU but you can have a look at the KB article:

You have to create the Institutions and Courses offered in each in order to be able to track training. You can upload certificates and associate the user record to a Certification if you are using those...There are few layers to create in order to star using it but it does a decent job of tracking...

we use it to track things that are not necessarily directly related to training but are important to have on hand; like accreditations and certifications and the like 


We do have a user additional field of the “upload file(s)” type that we use for uploading an outside certificate.  So long as you don’t need to associate it to a specific course, it should work for you.  You can make that field visible to users if you want.


@elamast Where does the user access to see the file when it is visible?
