This article details the expected functionality of a portion of the refreshed Absorb LMS Admin Experience (AE). Click here to learn more about this free upgrade available to you.
Overview
The Credits Report provides you with details of the Credits that have been awarded to your Learners for training completion. Credits are typically awarded to a Learner who is progressing in professional development to maintain a license or certification within an industry.
You can filter results to see a breakout of credits awards per Credit Type. Single and multi-credit values are supported within this report. The credit value earned for completing training is established in the settings of the associated Course.
The Credits Report is located in the Reports tab on the left side of the Admin Interface. Selecting the report name will redirect you to the Credits Report page. From here, you can filter results based on a variety of data points.
Tips:
- This report will only display active User data.
- Be mindful that opening a report may also bring up a favorite saved layout, or a shared default organizational report layout.
- You will only see data that you have access to view. For example, data from Departments that an Admin does not have permission to view will not be included in their report.
