How can I download a User activity report that includes all users regardless of their activity status?

Learn how to view and download User activity reports. Please be sure to access the User activity report (All Users), which includes activity data on all activated users in an account. 

Why are the total hours watched in the Skill insights dashboard different from the total hours watched in the User activity dashboard?

A course can exist within more than one subcategory and courses with the same primary topic can also exist in different subcategories. As a result, this means that learning attributed to a single topic can be split across multiple subcategories which is why the Skill insights data is higher than the user activity data.

In the Learner feedback dashboard, why is there a discrepancy between the number of learners who have responded to a survey and the total number of responses? 

This discrepancy exists as users can respond to a question each time they see the survey.

User assessment activity report: FAQ

Are scores included in the user assessment activity report? The scores on an assessment can range from 0-200 and are grouped into four major segments. Each segment corresponds to a specific proficiency level. The user assessment activity report includes the highest proficiency level achieved across all attempts for a single assessment. 

Why the highest proficiency level? Including only the highest proficiency level achieved reflects a type of ‘do no harm’ grading. This allows your employees to not be negatively impacted by a single poor result. Rather, they can complete a series of attempts and be confident their best result is shared. 

How do I interpret each proficiency level? The four proficiency levels of our assessment scale are Limited, Developing, Established, and  Superior.

You can think of these labels as completing the sentence, 

Compared to others, this person’s skills are {performance level achieved}.
