Absorb tracks the Enrollment Method of Learners into courses. The Enrollment Method can be added as a Filter onto a Report such as the User Enrollments Report. This Filter, once added, allows you to observe how a Learner was enrolled into a specific course. The following legend showcases what method of Enrollment will result in which Enrollment Method:
| Event | Enrollment Method | Notes |
|
Learner enrolled via automatic enrollment rules |
Automatic | |
| Learner enrolled via custom scheduled data import (SDI) |
Automatic |
It is possible for SDI to update Enrollments, which will update the Reference Number. This means it's not strictly possible to identify Enrollments added vs updated by SDI. Enrollments updated via SDI may have any enrollment method. |
