The Course Summary Report provides you with the overall activity statistics on all of the Courses contained in your LMS. This report is valuable to keep track of the overall health and success of your organization's training efforts.
The Course Summary Report is located in the Reports tab on the left side of the Admin Interface. Selecting the report name will redirect you to the Course Summary 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 Learners that an Admin does not have permission to view will not be included in their report.
