Track course statistics

  • Updated

Who can use track course statistics?

  • Owner and platform admins can view statistics for all users across all courses.
  • Group admins and coaches can view statistics for their group members on courses that are either:
    • Owned by their group, or
    • Listed in the library or catalog of their group.
  • Editors and Contributors can view statistics for courses where they are the main author or a co-author:
    • Main author can view data for all users in their group who took the course.
    • Co-authors can access the course's statistics page if they are a group editor or contributor, but will only see their own data.

For more information about who can see which data on the platform, see our article Understand statistics visibility.

This feature is available on the web application.

You can activate the extended visibility feature on your platform to allow admins and coaches to access the statistics page of courses in the catalog or library of their group and any publicly connected groups. Coaches can only see the statistics for learners in their group, provided they have played the course from their group's catalog or any publicly connected group. Group admins can see the statistics for learners in their group and subgroups, provided they have played the course from their group's catalog or any publicly connected group. To activate the extended visibility feature, contact your Customer Success Partner (CSP).
