ILT multiple events for a yearlong program long explanation before question (crosspost)

Crossposting here and the Champion group.I have been struggling to find a good solution in Docebo for a program we run. We do a biweekly online continuing education series. Students are required to attend or view recorded archives of at least 4 of the 24 events we offer. This year I created an individual ILT for each webinar with a single session and a single event. Then put them all into a learning plan. We discovered a few issues. Enrolling in an ILT ( even through a learning plan) does not enroll the learner in the session. Learners had to still go into the individual ILT’s to enroll in the sessions before they could attend or get notifications for the sessions. Once the event had ended, the sessions closed to enrollment. Anyone trying to watch the recording who had not already enrolled in the session could not enroll in the session. We have had to regularly go in and manually enroll people who were already enrolled in the ILT thanks to the learning plan into a session so they c

Hiding Training Material Tags

The hot topic of auto-tagging and whether or not we like/want them has been discussed before.I am not sure, however, that we have brought up the idea of hiding them yet, though, so I am just gonna leave this right here./** Hide Chapter Tags **/.chapter-tags-wrapper { display: none;}/** End Hide Chapter Tags **/Here is the before Here is the after This is the area right underneath the player within the course.At least now when I forget to go back and delete bad tags - my learners don’t have to shake their heads and wonder about the garbage.As always - continue to test. I will be keeping an eye out for issues that may arise from this mod.Be sure to vote on having the ability to disable auto-tagging if you have not already.Hope this makes someone smile today!

Is there a way to automatically un-publish a course

Hi Everyone, We are looking into ways to clean up any outdated courses that are currently published. We heard at the Inspire conference in Rome, a user has set up some sort of rule to automatically un-publish a course when it hasn’t been used or may be outdated. I am unable to recall the name of the session, but if anyone can instruct me on how/if this is possible I would appreciate it! Or if you have other methods of doing a deep clean, we are open to any recommendations!

Landing Page Visual Ideas

Hi, I am currently working on designing the Landing Page for my company’s LMS. I have read through some Community Posts and Knowledge Base articles about best practices and what others are doing in their LMS. I’m a visual person and I would like to see what others’ Landing Pages look like to spark some ideas - something like a Pinterest board. (Obviously I am not planning to copy & paste anyone’s)Would anyone mind sharing what their LMS looks like and maybe a few sentences/bullet points explaining the thought process behind it? I would like to make mine very user friendly and “easy on the eyes” while also keeping it interesting & engaging. Anything helps! Thank you. :)

Link to a specific widget on a page

I was wondering if it was possible to create a link that goes to a specific widget on a page? For example if you are at the top of the page you could click a button and it would take you to the correct section on the page. We have html blocks so in theory I could make a button I’m just not sure how to get the link or if it’s even possible.

Skills - How are you using them?

We are currently working on developing a way to track employee skill development. A large hurdle we are having is Skills in the platform empowers and is controlled by the user rather than from the manager. We do NOT want the user to be able to impact or select there skills. Our goal is to assign skills based on content or even external actions from the platform in order to identify individuals capable of supporting sites and projects. Additionally, we have a goal of this interacting with Workday and maybe even Dynamics in the future.Has anyone been able to achieve employee skill tracking similar to our goal? What has worked for you? What did not work?

How to mass delete LOs (November 2024)

I was working on a Make.com workflow to mass delete a particular learning object from all of our courses and ran into a problem with not being able to find an appropriate API endpoint. Our learning objects are not in the CLOR, and if you try to simulate an admin user (in the UI) making an HTTP GET with an automation solution like Make.com, you run into a problem with that call returning some YES/NO buttons you can’t click (the URL in question is https://www.YOURPLATFORM.com/lms/index.php?r=player/training/axDeleteLo ).So, not wanting to be defeated by a simple button I can’t push without an RPA tool, I found a workaround to share with the community. It overcomes the lack of an API endpoint for deleting LOs by using the CLOR as an intermediate landing spot, and then cleaning up afterward.Create your automation workflow to gather all the LOs you want to get rid of. You’re going to need the IdOrg and course_id for each one. For us that means looping through all the courses with https:

Mandatory vs Elective Course Setting After Creation

We are enhancing the offerings our LMS provides and I have recently taken over managing the LMS. I found that we previously did not have accurate data points in our automated reporting for elective vs mandatory learnings due to previous courses not being given that course setting in the Course Management section. I want to know if anyone has any advice on a way to potentially make this an easier process rather than going through all the courses we have manually and changing the setting in each one? Would save me a lot of time and sanity if so!!!

Using a Blog for a Forum

I have a request from a partner/user group who would like to have an open forum within Docebo where their users can ask and answer questions (basically the same as this community) that is not tied to an asset or a course. Does anyone have a set up where they provide this type of forum in their LMS right now? I am curious how you are doing it and what sites/set up you have for it.

Gamification Ideas - Contests, Leaderboards and Badges

Hi there! We’re launching gamification soon and I was wondering if anyone has some thoughts and ideas they’d be able to share for the following:Monthly Contest Ideas I’m thinking of ‘Most Courses Taken in a Month’ and ‘First One to Take X Course’ but that’s all I can come up with. What have you done? Maybe more themed? Note: We can’t base it off assets, only badges earned Badge Ideas If you’re in real estate - that’d be a plus, since that’s what our focus is Anything else you found successful when launching/running your gamification segment to keep learners excited and coming back!

"Lesson Comleted Successfully" Banner colour change

Hi everyone, hope you are well. I am having a small UI issue. Prior to the last platform update, the “Lesson completed successfully” banner was white in colour, however, it is now gone black and I am not able to find anywhere on the settings how to change the background colour of this banner. Any advise would really be appreciated.

SCORM Package Quiz

How do you get Docebo to mark a course as complete if a learner fails the quiz inside a SCORM package?

Compliance Training Homepage Widget

I wanted to share something that I wish we would have known as a smaller organization when we onboarded Docebo, but has made a world of a difference, and that is using a page with filtered a course/LP widget to only show mandatory/compliance trainings. We ran into the issue that when course assignments went out, that learners had to filter courses themselves and find their mandatory content versus their self-enrolled, elective content. So, I learned that when a user uses the filter function on the Courses and Learning Plans built-in widget, the URL at the top actually changes and saves those filter options selected. I used the below steps to create a built-in widget on the homepage that will direct users to instantly see their outstanding mandatory training content. Create a new page. I called this one “My Required & Mandatory Courses” Add a Courses and Learning Plans widget. Select the course statuses that you want to have appear for this widget. Personally, I created two separat

Building Certificates? --> Here Are Some Things I Learned

I recently went through setting up some certificates for some well deserved learning accomplishments.Here are some take-aways that I thought might be helpful for others (At least until that portion is overhauled).Your Visual Editor, Source Code Editor, and PDF preview Are Not Friends Just a heads up - I needed to hop back and forth between all of these several times to tweak things the way I needed. It was time consuming. Many HTML attributes and inline CSS styling look great in the visual editor but are then ignored when you preview in the PDF. I initially attempted to use pixel precision using margins and padding but those didn’t help. Also nice things like using a horizontal rule have strange effects when you go to PDF. The Table Is Your Friend - But There Are Still Rules I ended up using tables to space out the information and line things up. Don’t be fooled by what you see in the visual editor, though. A single cell on the left with the date that is justified to the right so th
