When using the tool ‘Import Development Goals’, it is possible to download the CSV template and complete it with development goals and custom learning activities.
Importing learning activities with development goals is only available for customers that have enabled the Transcript feature, which is the integration between CDP (Career Development Plan) and LMS (Learning Management System). This explains why customers who do not have the transcript enabled will see that development goals may be successfully imported but not the associated learning activities.
Moreover, it is only possible to add, update, or delete custom learning activities. It is not possible to perform any actions on the learning activities from the LMS catalog.
Overview of the column content for the Import for Learning Activities:
- To import learning activities, the TYPE should be LEARNING.
- GUID is the GUID of the goal and the SUBGUID is the GUID of the learning activity.
- For the ADD action, leave SUBGUID and the LEARNING_guid blank, and the system will automatically generate a value.
- You can add, delete, and update all custom learning activities.
Note
Importing learning activities to a ‘Completed Goal’ will not work. You need to change the goal status to ‘In Progress’ or ‘Not Started’ and then import.
If importing to a manually added goal, you can use the ‘Goal ID’ instead of the GUID. Manually added goals do not have GUIDs (only imported ones have it).
