Product Tips & Tricks

Hi! I am looking for some best practices/tips/tools - We are new to Docebo and prepping to launch this summer. We are building our new hire onboarding into a Learning Plan, but have employees all over the world that will need to view training material we are uploading in different languages.  Does anyone have employees across the globe that can share some tips for either onboarding or general use of the LMS?

We all know migrating solutions can be a heavy lift for administrators, but there’s also a lot to think about in terms of helping your learners to transition and adopt the new system! Was curious to hear some best practices on migration, less focused on the technical aspect and more focused on the change management aspect for learners. Here’s a few specific points I’d love to gather thoughts on; What to do before learners come into the new system / How to prepare for learners to come into the new system? Ways to communicate to learners about the new system? (Especially for a customer audience)  How to gauge how learners are acclimating to the new environment? Thank you all!

One of the main common challenges that LMS Admins are facing when they're launching their training initiatives through an LMS is to make sure they have engaged learners.Adoption is certainly a hot topic and the most frequently asked question is: "What can I do to see it  increasing more and more?". Gamification is definitely the answer.You can find great insights on how to apply Gamification to your use case in this post dated May ‘21, where @Adam Ballhaussen and @SuperShaune shared great heads-up on the topic. 

Crazy task assigned this week, we are connecting sales force to Docebo. We would like that based on the sales the leaderboard would change too.I have an idea in mind but I’m not sure if anyone has implemented this in a super easy way.

How do you handle name changes that change the username, and what are some of your  standard practices with that as well?example: User 123 = (username) U123, then changes their name to U 1234 = U1234.

Hi everyone!I’m seeking some ideas regarding our home page widgets.We’re reconfiguring our home page and are featuring the Q&A widget and the Recent Activity widget at the top in order to drive casual engagement and knowledge sharing. We don’t have a lot of formal courses, but many employees share resources and we want to encourage more people to share content and ask questions. However, the questions that appear in the Q&A widget also appear in the Recent Activity widget that’s right beside it, so it it’s redundant. I’d love for the “Recent Activity” to omit the Q&As and only show assets that have been shared, but I don’t think that’s possible. If anyone has ideas for creative workarounds so that we don’t see the same questions in two side-by-side widgets, I would love to hear! Maybe instead of the Recent Activity widget, there’s another way to feature content that others have shared? Maybe there’s a whole other way to drive casual u

We have an initiative to increase our External Training Tracking. We know extra training is occuring outside of our platform, but we don’t feel we are getting a good response rate for our staff submitting it. Currently I am sending a monthly reminder email, and mentioning it when in face-to-face trainings, but does anyone else have any creative ideas on how to increase the submission rate on this type of training?

Hello Community! Hope you are ready for the weekend!Last work-related thought before leaving the laptop on the desk, I promise … how has been you experience with launching the platform to first time e-learning users? We might be talking about not extremely tech-savvy audiences or, more simply, learners using an LMS for the first time. I think custom pages can be very helpful in these situations and I really love the clean and effective result you can obtain with just a couple of widget types, like in the following example: 

If you are using content that is not supported by Docebo like, Udemy etc. I suggest you to contact Tray.io.  Tray is a small and powerful platform that import, export data and licenses between platforms that don’t have connection within Docebo. 

Does anyone here have an Influitive-based community? If so, how do you get Influitive and Docebo to “talk” to each other?

We have found that when you have a large number of automatic groups, it can be quite challenging to manage them, especially when troubleshooting issues. We also manage these on behalf of many power users since they cannot do this themselves therefore it is critical that we know what attributes are being used by each group. Rather than managing an external spreadsheet, we use the Group Description field to log the rules...it looks something like this: Org Level 1 = MO - Middle Office + Company Code = ACME This has proved invaluable to us. 

Ever have a vector image that you’d like to tweak slightly -- like change a background color or move/delete some element from the image? You can certainly do that with Adobe Photoshop or other hefty image editor but here’s some info on how to do it if you’re like me -- a small shop with no design expertise or expensive software on hand. Once I find a vector image I like from one of my stock image libraries and if it is not already available as an SVG file, I download it as an EPS file. Now you can’t insert an EPS image into PowerPoint but you can insert an SVG file. So first, convert the EPS to SVG using www.cloudconvert.com. This is a nifty little site that allows you to convert all kinds of file types. It’s super easy and FREE! Once you convert your EPS to an SVG, you can insert it just as any image in PowerPoint but because it’s an SVG, you can ungroup all the elements of the image and

Hey everyone I was looking for some suggestions, best practices, or tips for how you use automation or APIs to classify your users into groups or branches while remaining accurate to your company org, or departments.

Morning!Does anyone know if there’s a way to change the wording of the pop-up notification that users receive when they register? Example below:I know you can go to Localization Tools and find a list of default notifications, but I need to know where I can change these settings so that our users receive the notification we want them to.At the moment they are receiving the default one that asks them to click on a link to confirm registration, but we’re not using this method to load users onto our platform. We’ve gone down the moderated self-registration route whereby the superadmin approves.Any help most welcome.Thanks...Rich

Hi everyone,I’ve decided to change the default language from English to English_UK to reduce the number of helpdesk tickets I receive complaining all the UI elements and pages have incorrect spelling in Australia. The great thing is Docebo Learn does allow for localisation and I jumped in. Here are some of my learnings from doing this for those of you perhaps thinking about doing something like this.I used the “user mass edit” tool to change the default language for everyone. I noted that it took way too long as we have 5500+ users and I wasn’t sure it was working. I then did it in batches by user groups of 100s at a time which worked better, but still took a long time. Time to do this aside, the lesson here for me was to work out what I needed to do in localising the language before I jumped in and changed this! So back a few steps now.   I wasn’t really sure what parts of the LMS I needed to ensure I had both th

How can we configure some parts of Docebo (search, channels, widgets…?) to capture what people want to learn and cannot find in our platform? The scenario is that the learner is looking for something, cannot find it, can easily state somewhere what they are looking for (their learning need or a gap in our offerings) and then as admins, we can easily see all those requests/needs accumulated somewhere so over time we may see trends or top asks. 

Just trying to get a handle on which notifications are the best to use.  What are you favorites and why? Reason I ask - I want to assign courses (enroll users to courses and/or catalogues) and I am not clear on what notifications to use to complete ‘the package’ so to speak.

While the pandemic is still ongoing, we at Getronics have tried helping our teams in many different ways.One of the most hardest hit groups of employees has been parents caring for young children. In order to help the team and keep the little ones occupied we have developed a new page in Docebo; called kid’s zone. The page is dedicated to kids with lots of activities that they can do while parents are busy. We also have launched story time during lunch so that kids can have someone reading a story to them during their break. 

What video tools do you use?Here are my favourites programmes:1 Create studio. To make that Disney feel. I use this for everything. You can get amazing results with this2 Toonly.

Is anyone up to get together to showcase your platform and help each other? @Adam Ballhaussen what do you think? We could record the session and post it in the community.

Hello All, How do you promote and manage company-wide webinars that are regularly scheduled? Do you set up a course for each webinar? How do you promote the webinars in the platform? Do you mind sharing your best practices?

We are really trying to drive the social learning aspect of our platform.  We have had very little participation so far, and am in the process of developing a contest to award badges and items people can cash in for rewards in the shop.   I’m interested to hear and see how others are using their coach and share platform and how you drive learner engagement.  We’ve been considering using it for scenario training for managers surrounding HR topics, where managers would be asked to record how they would respond to specific situations and then submit for review and feedback.
