Edit more that one course at a time for the sliders. The ability to select multiple courses and edit things such as enable course review, course is active/inactive, and course due date bulk editing would be AWESOME. Now I need to do several licks, type, and click out every time for every course (and I have a lot of courses) if I just want to do something like change the due dates.
Chiming in here to potentially include functionality to bulk specify which electronic signature is selected for courses. I recently just converted our environment to Azure SSO and it appears I'll need to manually go into each active course and change the electronic signature Method from Authenticate to PIN.
Where are we at with this feature? As many other Admins, I am needing to do bulk course edits and going into each course will take me days to make the edits.
System admins should have the ability to bulk edit a ton of things. It's extremely limiting right now, and will not work long term for our company.
Our L&D want to reorganise courses so they can be found more easily. They have two options, add new tags into every course one-by-one or add new categories and edit each course one-by-one and reassign into new category. Neither option is practical because there is no bulk option available, editing thousands of courses is not a good use of time. More bulk update features are urgently needed.
Also the ability to bulk update permissions within course like "Enable Manager Enrollment."
This necessary to include the required flexibility. This would save so much time and reduce errors.
This is probably one of the most needed features for us right now. All course settings need to be editable in bulk. There are SO many courses i need to update its virtually impossible without the help of professional services from Absorb. This could be resolved much easier.
Please allow us the ability to activate/deactivate courses in bulk. We are integrated with LinkedIn Learning and really need the ability to be able to deactivate many courses at once or we're going to have to go through thousands of courses individually.
Bulk actions for course editing is absolutely necessary, as described by the numerous posts before me.
If we can add being able to bulk edit courses for the Manager Enrollment function that would be amazing too! I am looking at manually updating 1000+ courses which will be incredibly time consuming. I hope this feature is implemented soon.
Please implement this ASAP. As a new client of Absorb, we needed to move over a ton of lessons that are not in use in order to keep the training history data but now I need to go through and manually click each one to make it inactive. This is extremely important to have in order to support a mid to large size client, and that lack of support is the reason we left our prior LMS.
My org just licensed Absorb Amplify and we are being told we need to edit enrollment rules and catalogue visibility of their 400+ courses one by one. Please come through with this update, it would save our department hours of tedious work.
The areas I'd be interesting in bulk updating courses are:
- Enrollment rules
- Course Administrators
Ideally I'd like to copy settings from one course to another, or many others!
Any traction on this? Looks like this has been under consideration for a long time without an update from Absorb. Adding a bulk update function to update categories, availability, enrollment rules, etc. would GREATLY enhance your admin user experience.
What's up with this? Lots of old comments, but this seems like a core function that should be implemented right away. Might save a customer if it comes before we have to find another provider.
Similarly, the ability to batch duplicate courses would be a huge time saver, especially if when doing so, those duplicated courses could be assigned to a particular department. We need to duplicate a lot of courses and curricula for different clients so they are able to create their own sessions for those programs without having visibility to sessions that other clients are running. Currently, we need to duplicate courses one at a time and this is very cumbersome and inefficient.
Amanda Jones - We'd like to see every editable attribute available in a PullDown list:
General
Syllabus
Enrollment Rules
Completion
Availability
etc....
Once an item is selected from a pulldown list, then a new page open with every item that can be bulk changed. Some examples:
General - Practically Nothing will be editable here. Title will be grayed out because no one should want to bulk change their course titles to all the same thing. Same with Description. Language would be selectable. All tags across all courses should be displayed and they can either be deletable (a no longer valid tag), or a new tag can be added to all selectable course.
Attributes: Course evaluations/ratings should be selectable between enabled and/or disabled. Audience, Goals, External ID, and Vendor should all have blank fields that can be filled out and uploaded to all courses selected.
...and so on...
This would be a game changer.
Thanks,
Yes please! What a TIME SAVER!
I cannot stress how basic, useful and essential this functionality is. I've submitted this idea under a different name (once or twice I'b guessing), but I currently spend a ridiculous amount of time changing the same parameter across multiple courses when we make updates. Categories, languages, availability and enrollment rules, thumbnails, etc. As many things as can be included in bulk actions should be. Everyone thinks their issue is important and I'm no different :) This needs to be a top priority. Would be the single biggest improvement to the admin experience.
Additional Course Parameters that would be useful to bulk update:
- Language; allow bulk language updates (i.e. if Courses have a reportable parameter all courses can have language updated)
- Tags/categories; allow bulk tagging and categorization operations
- Availability; change access date, expiration or due date
- Course enrollment parameters
- Course attributes and additional text based fields; allow bulk update of general text based fields (not Title or description for courses)
