Tin Canny lets you place reports anywhere on your site — on a member dashboard, a Group Leader page, or a learner’s profile. The easiest way is with a Tin Canny block. Where a report has no block, a shortcode does the same job. This article lists them all in one place.
New to front-end reports? Read Front End LearnDash Reports and Front End Quiz Reports first for the full context. This page is the at-a-glance reference.
How to use these
- Prefer the block. When editing a page, click +, search Tin Canny, and choose the report — it gives you a visual interface with the options in the block sidebar. Tin Canny registers six blocks (listed below).
- Use the shortcode when there’s no block. A few reports (the combined interface, Tin Can Report, xAPI Quiz Report, and the Detailed Quiz Report) are shortcode-only. Paste the shortcode into any page, post, or text widget — in the block editor, use a Shortcode block.
- Reports render wide tables, so use a full-width page template with no sidebar for the best layout.
- Most reports are visible only to administrators and Group Leaders; the learner-facing quiz report is the exception.
Admin & Group Leader reports
These surface the same data as the back-end reports, on the front end.
| Block (search “Tin Canny”) | Shortcode | What it displays | Who can view |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tin Canny Course/User Report | [tincanny_course_report] | The Course Report on its own. | Admins, Group Leaders |
| Tin Canny Course/User Report | [tincanny_user_report] | The User Report on its own. | Admins, Group Leaders |
| No block — shortcode only | [tincanny_tin_can_report] | The Tin Can Report on its own. | Admins, Group Leaders |
| No block — shortcode only | [tincanny_xapi_quiz_report] | The xAPI Quiz Report on its own. | Admins, Group Leaders |
| No block — shortcode only | [tincanny] | The full front-end reporting interface — Course, User, Tin Can, and xAPI Quiz reports in one tabbed view. | Admins, Group Leaders |
| Tin Canny Lesson Report | [uotc_lesson_report] | Lesson completion report: which learners completed a chosen lesson, with optional group/course filters. | Admins, Group Leaders |
| Tin Canny Topic Report | [uotc_topic_report] | Topic completion report: the same view, scoped to a topic. | Admins, Group Leaders |
Note: The single Tin Canny Course/User Report block covers both the Course Report and the User Report. The Tin Can and xAPI Quiz reports only appear (in [tincanny] or via their own shortcodes) if data capture is enabled in Tin Canny Reporting > Settings.
Quiz reports
| Block (search “Tin Canny”) | Shortcode | What it displays | Who can view |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tin Canny Individual Quiz Report | [uo_individual_quiz_report] | The viewing learner’s own LearnDash quiz scores plus SCORM/xAPI scores across all their courses. | Students, Group Leaders, Admins |
| Tin Canny Group Quiz Report | [uo_group_quiz_report] | Consolidated quiz data and Tin Canny scores (H5P, iSpring, Storyline, etc.) by group and course. | Admins, Group Leaders |
| No block — shortcode only | [uotc_ld_quiz_report] | Detailed quiz report: all attempts for all users, including learners who haven’t completed a quiz, across courses. Columns are customizable. | Admins, Group Leaders (adjustable via filter) |
Quiz report attributes
These attributes apply when you use the shortcode form:
| Attribute | Used on | Description |
|---|---|---|
user_report_url="%URL%" | [uo_group_quiz_report] | Turns learner names into links to their individual user report. Replace %URL% with the page holding [uo_individual_quiz_report]. (Verified in source.) |
exclude_non_course_quizzes="yes" | [uo_individual_quiz_report] | Added in v5.0. Set to yes to hide quizzes that aren’t mapped to a course, so the report shows only course-based quizzes. Default is no. (Verified in source — attribute lives on the individual quiz report shortcode, not the detailed report.) |
Developers: the userReportUrl value on the detailed quiz report can also be set globally with the uo_tincanny_quiz_report_user_report_url filter. See Actions/Filters for Developers.
The six Tin Canny blocks
When editing a page, click +, search Tin Canny, and choose:
- Tin Canny Course/User Report — the Course Report and User Report
- Tin Canny Lesson Report — lesson completion
- Tin Canny Topic Report — topic completion
- Tin Canny Individual Quiz Report — a learner’s own quiz scores
- Tin Canny Group Quiz Report — quiz scores by group and course
- Tin Canny Content — embeds an eLearning module into a lesson/topic (see below)
Each block exposes its options in the block sidebar — for example, the group/course selectors on the Lesson and Topic reports, and the column options on the quiz reports.
Shortcode-only reports: there is no block for the combined [tincanny] interface, the Tin Can Report, the xAPI Quiz Report, or the Detailed Quiz Report ([uotc_ld_quiz_report]) — use their shortcodes for those.
Embedding eLearning modules
To place a module (not a report), use the Tin Canny Content block while editing a lesson or topic — or the Tin Canny Uploader button in the Classic Editor. See Tin Canny Uploader.
