The Course Activity Report provides you with access to review the progress of Users enrolled in an Online Course. This report is specific to Active Online Courses only. The report will return all enrollments regardless of their Status (complete, not started, in progress, pending approval, or pending evaluation).
The purpose of this report is to show progress toward completion of the Online Course. You can use this report to make changes in the Course enrollment for individual Users or carry out various administrative tasks.
The Course Activity 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 Activity Report page. Upon arrival to this page, you will choose the Course you want to review by selecting its name from the drop-down menu of the Course pop-up. From here, you can filter results based on a variety of data points.
The Course Activity Report will launch using the standard Report layout where you can:
- Manage Online Course Activity
- View User Transcripts
- Message a User(s)
- View and Edit past and present Enrollments
- View and Edit Users
Be mindful that opening a report may also bring up a favorite Saved Layout or a shared default organizational Report Layout.

Multi-Course Reporting
System Admins can toggle on our multi-course version of the Course Activity report. This toggle is located on the Portal Settings page under the Info tab.
This toggle is off by default. Once the toggle is turned on, all Admins with permission to utilize the Course Activity Report will be able to select up to 30 courses.
- This feature is in beta production: Multi-Course Reporting may cause slowdowns or report timeouts if your portal contains high data volumes.
- When the toggle is switched off the Course Activity Report will be scoped to the first Course in your selection. This is true for Saved Layouts, and Scheduled Reports.
If your reports time out, try the following:
- Refine your data by departments, dates, or other filters.
- Lower the number of selected Courses until the report runs as expected.
If you are a System Admin and this toggle isn't available under Portal Settings, reach out to your Absorb Client Success Representative for assistance in enabling the feature for your Portal.
