Course Catalog - Batch Edit - Exclude from Course Recommendations

From the Course Catalog, the administrator can edit multiple learning objects at once using the Batch Edit feature.

Design Note: An updated interface is available for this page, which can be enabled by administrators in Feature Activation Preferences. With the new design, the functionality of the page is unchanged.

To batch edit items in the Course Catalog, go to Admin > Tools > Learning > Catalog Management > Course Catalog. Select the appropriate learning objects and click the batch edit button. Then, click the Edit Course Recommendations link.

Note: In the case of legacy UI, Batch Edit is replaced by Edit Selected at the bottom of the page. The Batch Edit or Edit Selected option is only visible if the Enable Enhanced Search checkbox is unselected.

Exclude from Course Recommendations

When this option is selected, the course will not be included in the list of recommended courses that is displayed on the Training Completion page when a user completes a course. Note: The list of courses that are recommended to users is refreshed every seven days.

  • Use Case: A New Hire training course should be excluded from recommendations because users should only complete this training when it is assigned to them.
