Report on Multiple Courses in a Single Report

Being able to create groups of courses that we can push a single report to use in PowerBI would be very helpful. I need a singular report similar to the certificate report but ALSO includes time spent and score. Please add time spent and score to the Certificate Report and consider offering custom groups for the Course Activity Report. Good reporting is essential to understand reach and impact.

I enthusiastically agree with this suggestion (along with sorting reports by multiple columns like Excel and other software, which I think has already been submitted in another entry). Thanks for making these improvements to reporting!

I love that this is getting implemented. If possible, it would be great if the report allowed for more than 30 courses. I'm trying to build one report that houses all translated versions of each course we have, so you can imagine that adds up to way more than 30.

This is great progress thank you. We are also wondering if there will be functionality to help with filtering the courses we'd like to include in the Course Summary report. For example, we currently have to manually select the 30 courses to include in the report, but we're wondering if a filter will be added so it only allows us to choose from courses that "start with" certain characters or "course status" is active, etc.

This is wonderful progress already. Thanks for taking action on this.

Is it possible to add 'Language' as a filter? That would help us a lot. Thanks again!

Hi Folks, While I'm unable to share a concrete timeline yet, please rest assured that we're incrementally working towards upgrading your reporting experience. Stay tuned for our next reporting upgrade.

This feature is working great for Courses, but like the previous 2 comments will it be available for ILC and Curriculum reporting?

Does this group reporting apply to the Curricula Activity as well?

Hi,

This is great thank you. I have noticed I am unable to do the group report for ILC's do you know when this will be available?

thanks,

Carole

Hi everyone,

Thanks for being patient with us as we worked to provide you with this capability. We've released a Beta feature that will allow you to report on up to 30 courses in the Course Activity Report. Learn more about it in our release notes :) https://support.absorblms.com/hc/en-us/articles/18890844756499#august-release-notes-2023-0-0

Hi Gail,

The development we have underway aims to provide the capability to report on the fields you've highlighted. Additionally, we aim to provide powerful reporting with an easy-to-use workflow. Please stay tuned, I'll update this thread once the feature is available.

Thank you for elaborating on your use case,
Majesty.

Hi Angela,

Thanks for being patient, this feature is still in the works. We'll provide an update as soon as we're able to.

Thanks,
Majesty.

Hi:

Can Absorb please provide an update on this issue? Are we likely to see this functionality included in an upcoming release?

Thanks,

Angela

Hi Majesty,

I work with Tracy Logan. Tracy asked me to provide a response to your questions below.

Can you tell me more about your audit use case? What are some of the questions the report needs to answer?

To reiterate, it would be great if we can display multiple courses on a report. In addition, it would be great if we can run a report to include the curriculum completion detail (Compliance Training) and the detail of the individual courses in the curriculum (BSA/AML, Fair Lending, RESPA, etc.).

Our Audit use cases are:

• The Auditors want to see who completed required courses within a specific time frame.

• They want to know whether we offer specific compliance training.

Our Audit Reports generally include the following:

• Course Title and Description

• Learner First and Last Name, Job Title, Learner Supervisor, Channel (Custom field), Department (Company or Partner Company), State

• Course Completion Status, Course % Complete, Date Enrolled, Date Completed, Score

It would be great to have all of the above information available to include on the Course Activity Report, and be to run the Course Activity Report at least once a day.

A report format that allows Admins to filter by & select from all fields of information would be beneficial. As Admins, we are generally working on multiple projects at a time, as well as troubleshooting and resolving user issues.

We need a simplified, robust reporting feature that provides "one stop shop reporting" and helps Admins work smarter not harder.

Hi Pamela,

Wanted to just add on to Traci's comment (and this is feedback I had already provided to Majesty and team in a previous session, but just wanted to make sure it's documented here as well): we really need to be able to filter user course statuses and enrollments by supervisor. Absorb has our supervisory relationship data, but for some reason this is not something we can filter or sort by in current curricula or course activity reports.

Hi Traci,

We have also realized this is a strange thing. I think it took us a while to fully understand the gap. We do have reports that report on statuses of users by department, but, it's not all statuses and it doesn't get into the course granularity as you point out.

Having said that, some of our clients do prefer the 'course first' view, which is perhaps why it has taken a bit of time to get to the point where we fully realized the gap we have.

We will keep you all posted as development continues and thank you for all your inputs.

Pamela

I agree with Matthew.

Our previous LMS platform (which was FREE��� yes I said FREE) allowed me to pull a report based on the USERS in a GROUP or DEPARTMENT so I could send a report listing the users in the specific department and what courses they have completed���..Unlike Absorb that runs the reports based on the course. This makes zero sense to me.

Thanks everyone, I think I confused you all with my terminology of 'matrix'. You are all correct this is easy to generate once the data is in excel, and that is our goal, to help you get that data out and into excel.

Noted though Matthew on how we can achieve 'star status'. I don't know how we can achieve this yet, but we certainly have had talks around this on different teams and do see the value in the idea. :)

Thank you, Gregg for the clarity on versioning and for your understanding of the scale of full versioning versus the lesser ask that you have articulated. We will take that idea into consideration too.

I think a matrix view would be cool, but only if it came with the ability to pull the raw data separately. I think for us specifically we would just like to keep using the Course Activity Report (or course enrollments report), and just be able to pull in the same data set for more than one course at a time. We lost the ability to do this when we had to make the switch from eLogic and this was one of the biggest (if not the biggest) loses in terms of features for us.

We have the Analyze package, which does support multiple course in a single report by using a PivotTable. Our Training Coordinators will have Analyze viewer licenses, but it would be beneficial if they could run their own custom reports with multiple courses.
