Internal and External Activity Report

The Internal and External Activity report provides a complete summary of each learner's activity including Skillsoft content, custom content, and external learning. You can filter data by date range, audience, or individual user. This is a standard report that shows all learner activity for your organization up through the last 24 months. If you run the report and it contains more than 10,000 records, adjust your filters and rerun it. You cannot schedule this report, but you can download it and share it.

Specify filters, then select Run report to view the report data in the current window.

To download your report with selected filters, you must select Run report first before you select Download report. After you chose Download report, a message displays with a link to the Reports download tab. Select the link to view the CSV download progress and/or open the CSV file. If you do not run the report first, the CSV download uses the default filters.

Filters

• Date filters: The Date filters apply to the DURATION, FIRST ACCESS, LAST ACCESS, and TOTAL ACCESSES columns. With this report, you can only view the last 24 months of data. For more historical data, use the Detailed activity report.
• Date Range Presets: A drop-down list of date ranges that filters the data to the selected range. Select Custom to enter specific dates.
• Start: Instead of using a Date Range preset, use this to specify a start date. When you enter a Start date, the Date Range Presets filter changes to Custom.
• End: Instead of using a Date Range preset, use this to specify an end date. When you enter an End date, the Date Range Presets filter changes to Custom.
Example
A user accesses a course on September 1 and September 15. They accesses it again on October 1, when they complete the course. They access it once more on October 15 to review it.

The activity for this user, with Start set as September 1 and End set as October 15, would look like this:

FIRST ACCESS: September 1
LAST ACCESS: October 15
TOTAL ACCESSES: 4
COMPLETED DATE: October 1
STATUS: Completed

• Audience: Predefined group of users. Enter the name of an audience and then select it from the list. You can display the data for multiple audiences at the same time by entering more than one audience name.
• User: Individual with a Percipio user account. Enter a user's name to filter the report to include that user. You can display data for up to 10 users at the same time by typing in more than one user name.
