Certificates
Imported course shells do not have certificates. If a certificate is needed, create a course first and import the enrollments into that.
Importing enrollments
- When importing course record enrollments for users that do not exist in the system yet, it is recommended to have at least one required course object in the course. Otherwise, if there is nothing to prevent a user from being completed upon enrollment, the user will receive whatever credit may be available, regardless of the user's desired credit or any credit-mapping logic that may exist.
When creating course records, do not put credits on a record that is not complete (complete=0). The user may want to claim a different number of credits, however the credit record imported is the credit record that remains. The only workarounds are to re-import a completion with credit for the learner, or manually edit the credit.
Multiple credit types
- Add only one record per row. If learner is to receive more than one credit type, there must be multiple rows for the learner, with the credit_type column reflecting which credit type to award. Enter only one row per credit type awarded.
Unlocking imports
Version information
This feature is available in 7.7+.
Occasionally, an import will hang and need a re-import. Typically, it hangs due to a discrepancy in the file, so please review the file to ensure there are no special characters in the data or additional spaces in the headers. Unlock the importer to re-import, following these steps:
- Log in as a site admin and go to /import.
- Click "Course record import."
- Click "Unlock" in the top header.
- Click "Unlock" button.
The import will be unlocked so that a re-import is possible.
