Overview
Administrators have access to a powerful report in the Uncanny Continuing Education Credits plugin that allows querying course completion and credit data by user, date range, LearnDash group, and course. The exportable report includes records for learner name, email address, course name, completion dates, credits earned for the course and total credits earned.
To access a report showing earned credits, visit Uncanny CEUs > Credit Report as a WordPress administrator. Filters can be used to output data for the appropriate date range, users, groups and courses. Use the Filter button to update records based on your filter criteria.
The Export buttons generates generate CSV and Excel files respectively to allow data external data analysis in a spreadsheet. This is a good way to investigate more complex queries.
Credits can also be added, edited or deleted using the buttons above the table. To add credits, click the Add credits button and add details related to the educational activity; the plugin supports the capture of activities that happen outside of LearnDash and your WordPress site.
To edit credits, use the checkbox on the left side of the table to choose a record to edit. Once checked, use the Edit credits button to make changes to what’s stored. The fields that are available will vary based on whether or not the credits are linked to a LearnDash course.
To delete credits, use the checkboxes o the right side of the table to choose one or more records. Once selected, click the Delete credits button.
There is also a Deficiency Report tab available that show users that have not complete their required number of credits. This is determined by the rollover date set in the plugin and the number of required credits set at either the group or individual level for the user.
Credit Report Settings
The LearnDash credit report allows several options to be configured in Uncanny CEUs > Settings in /wp-admin/:
The Show user avatars setting optionally loads avatars for users listed from the report. It is disabled by default, as loading avatar images can slow down report generation.
There are 3 options for Report Mode:
- Legacy: The system and queries that existed before Uncanny CEUs 4.1. This should only be used for compatibility, like if you customized report output and credit capture outside of our plugin.
- Performance: The new default option, captures some data during user updates so some data is effectively “prefetched” and reduces user queries.
- Ludicrous: Generates cached credit data hourly based on a cron, then loads the data from the cached record in the report. Can be refreshed on demand if data is stale.
Changing the default date range and number of rows per page is an optional step that can be done either to target what you most commonly use or to improve performance (with a smaller date range and lower page length).
Finally, the Include results for child groups checkboxes outputs records for child groups in the credit report (both in the front and back ends) when a parent group is selected. Child group records will appear alongside parent group data.
User Profiles
Administrators can also see credit totals on user profile pages in /wp-admin/. Total credit and credits earned since the rollover date are both added to user profiles with this plugin for easy reference when reviewing user details.
