Hello - we have several customers who like to enroll their employees into learning plans and they want to have due dates on the enrollments. The only way I can figure how to do that is to enroll the users, and then one by one edit each enrollment to add the due dates. When our customers have to do that for 100 enrollments, they get a little grouchy. Is there a better way?

Hi @KatieD not sure if this would work for you but you can set a value on the LP that would automatically set.a due for any one enrolled...

Thanks @lrnlab - that might work. Certainly better than individually editing 100+ enrollments.

@lrnlab The days of validity is fine, but it doesn’t work if you have an absolute due date. Say you want everyone to complete it by Dec 31 no matter when they came into the company and were enrolled in the learning plan.

We run into this scenario a lot.

So the challenge is windowed training versus a rolling roaming problem.

If it is a roaming problem? Allow people to pull the learning towards themselves - and the LP will calculate the enrollment for you (probably the best approach as you are indicating with @lrnlab as you can put the LP on a page).

If it is not a roaming problem - then is their another element that can group these folk with as they come into your instance? Can they answer a question in their profile? If you do that? Then you can use groups to map people to their corresponding LP and set a hard deadline as well.

Last note - you may want to look into the last check box….that one seems like it allow an override of the enrollments previous values based on an option of course first access OR after being mapped.

How does the dates of validity work if you have “soft deadlines” as your default in Docebo? Or is that completely separate? 

I want learning plans/courses to automatically enroll users & give them 2 weeks to complete, so that the “your content is almost due” notification will trigger accurately.

That is what you would want if you are setting deadlines for courses.  The course will remain accessible after the due date when you have the “Soft Deadline”.  If you select the other option, the course becomes locked after the validity period.

Are you able to add a soft deadline to a learning plan? Or are those only for courses?

Learning plans can have a due date however it applies to the plan itself and not individual courses; meaning you cannot set different due dates for the courses in the LP. 

To add a due date, add it here:
