    Centralized instructor/trainer directory or table in LMSNew Idea

    Hi Team,Reaching out to you to request a new table in SkillJar for trainers/instructors. Currently, there is no table available on LMS which can be directly referred to get the trainers' details who are conducting ILT sessions. This table will serve as a single source of information about the trainers. Typically, this table should contain below fields-1. name of trainer2. email address of the trainer3. status flag of active/inactive.4. type of trainer- internal/ATP This table should be updated by my admin team whenever a new trainer is onboarded, or any trainer is left from the group/organisation. This data is needed for automation purposes. We can directly refer to this table and workflows can automatically select the necessary details required for execution. Please let me know if you have any questions or any additional information needed. Let us know at once this request is processed. Regards,Anuya PitakeSailPoint Technologies

    Show scores on front page of transcript on Admin view on Skilljar DashboardNew Idea

    We would love the ability to view course scores in the Admin Dashboard on the main page of the transcript like they show up on the student side of the transcript.  We currently have to click into several enrollments to located the attempt we are looking for.  Especially with the date stamps on the transcript view not showing a time stamp also, it is difficult to pick the correct enrollment we are looking for.

    Enrollment End DateNew Idea

    We would like a way to close enrollment for live training X days prior to the training.  Currently, we have to turn off the waitlist and manually lower the enrollment limit to prevent people from enrolling past the cutoff date.  We have specific course materials that need to be prepared for each learner, so we need to have a time period between the registration cutoff and the beginning of the session to allow for instructor preparation.

    Make the check-out page for ILTs optional in workflowNew Idea

    When selecting the button on the top of a course overview page for an ILT course, it brings you to seemingly a “check-out” or “purchase” page, that doesn’t have any of the event times listed, and a user would have to click “select” again in order for options to appear. Ideally, wanting this to look like the bottom of the course overview page (if that’s enabled) where users are brought to just a catalog view of times to select from. Since we do not utilize the purchase function (yet), potentially it could be an admin option in the settings to toggle on and off.

    Expand Dynamic Date Filter Presets in ReportsNew Idea

    The date filter in reporting currently offers limited dynamic preset options (Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, Last Week, Last Month). These are limiting when trying to analyze data across more meaningful business timeframes.We'd love to see additional dynamic date presets added, such as:- Last 90 Days- Current Quarter / Last Quarter- Year to Date (YTD)- Last 12 MonthsThese are standard reporting intervals, and having them available would significantly improve the reporting experience for teams who review learning data on a quarterly or annual cadence.  Manually setting date ranges as a workaround adds unnecessary steps, plus this doesn’t work when trying to schedule reports since the dates don’t roll.

    Add Enrollment close date for multi-session ILTNew Idea

    When adding multiple sessions in an instructor-led course, it would be nice to add a field where we can apply an enrollment cut off date per session.

    Allow bulk upload of single-day live training eventsNew Idea

    Hello, Skilljar team. My company runs the same vILT 5 times per week practically every week, to cover ~350 learners per month. It would be extremely helpful to be able to create these events in Skilljar in bulk via CSV for the year as opposed to cloning individual events in the UI.

    Learning Path Feature ParityNew Idea

    Currently, there is a significant functional gap between Courses and Learning Paths within Skilljar. While Courses offer robust administrative controls, automation, and granular reporting, Learning Paths often act as simple containers.To provide a seamless experience for both admins and learners, we request feature parity for Learning Paths. This will allow for more sophisticated curriculum design and reduce the manual overhead currently required to manage multi-course programs. Advanced Enrollment Management Admins need the same level of control over Path entry as they have for individual Courses. Specifically we need the capability for admins to edit the "Enrolled On" date for a learner’s path record. Path-to-Path Prerequisites Mirror the flexible gating logic available at the course level to create structured learning journeys. Sequential Locking: Requirements to complete Path A before unlocking Path B. Flexible Gating: Support for "AND/OR" logic when setting prerequisites across multiple paths. Completion Controls & Scoring Learning Paths should carry their own "transcript-level" weight rather than just reflecting the sum of their parts. Status Management: Clear Pass/Fail logic for the entire path. Aggregate Scoring: A path-level grade based on weighted averages of the underlying courses. Completion Actions & Automations Automate the "What’s Next" after a learner finishes a complex curriculum. Chained Enrollments: Automatically enroll a user in a new path or course upon completion of the current path. Deactivation Timers: Automatically revoke access to path content after a set period post-completion. Approval Workflows: A "Request Access" flow for paths that requires admin or manager sign-off before the learner is enrolled.

    Create LinkedIn Post for Certifications/BadgesNew Idea

    In Skilljar, on courses where learners are awarded a certification upon completion, you can easily set up the course to allow them to add the certification to LinkedIn, where it’ll be sent to the certifications portion of their profile there. It’d also be useful if learners could easily create a LinkedIn post from Skilljar, so they can share the news with their network there. I’m proposing another certification-level setting, similar to the “Add Certificate to LinkedIn” option/check box, that provides a shortcut to allow learners to do this directly from the course in Skilljar.

    Permanent Enrollment ErasureNew Idea

    This request focuses on the functional necessity to completely delete an enrollment record rather than simply toggling it to "inactive." Currently, the system lacks a "hard delete" feature for administrative errors, meaning any mistake—no matter how small—becomes a permanent fixture on a learner's profile. I’m seeking a way to physically remove these records so the learner's transcript remains a clean, accurate reflection of their intended curriculum. Why This Impacts Users So Much Professional Integrity: A transcript is a formal record. When a learner sees a course they never signed up for marked as "Inactive," it looks like a "Did Not Finish" or a dropped requirement, which can be misconstrued by management or during audits. Cognitive Load & Confusion: Users want a streamlined "To-Do" list. Seeing "ghost" enrollments on their dashboard creates mental clutter, leading to questions like, "Was I supposed to take this?" or "Is my account broken?" Administrative Friction: Forcing a learner to look at an error indefinitely creates a poor user experience. It turns a simple "whoops" by an admin into a permanent blemish on the user’s interface, leading to unnecessary support tickets and a feeling that the system is clunky or inflexible.

    Published Courses list in order under Published PathsNew Idea

    When viewing Published Paths under Domains, when I expand multiple under the Published Courses column, I would like to see the courses in the order I have put them in the path, without having to click into the path to see the current and correct course order.

    Make Descriptor Optional & Allow Same Descriptor for Courses added to Course FamiliesNew Idea

    Thanks for the new Course Families feature! This is really helpful. I’m finding it a bit prohibitive that the descriptor is required when adding courses to a family and that each course requires a unique descriptor.For example, we use those separator hack courses on catalog pages and I wanted to group all them together into a Course Family called “Skilljar Hack Separator Courses” and that would be sufficient enough (no descriptor necessary). Since it was required, I tried entering the same descriptor (e.g., “Separators for Catalog Pages” for all of them) but couldn’t save it until I made them each unique.  Another example would be a group of courses on a certain product (in a Uni that offers training on multiple products) and I wanted to create a family of Product A courses, Product B courses, etc. Also didn’t feel like each course required descriptors, so copied the names into each to make them unique so it’s just duplicative info displaying.Perhaps I’m missing the importance of unique descriptors for each, but wondering if others might find these requirements a bit restricting as well. Any reason they can’t be set to optional and the unique descriptor criteria lifted?

    Automated Registration Cut-off TimerNew Idea

    Currently, Skilljar allows us to limit the number of registrants via the Waitlist feature, but it lacks a time-based restriction for new sign-ups.Without a registration cut-off, staff must manually monitor sessions up until the exact start time to see if anyone has joined. This prevents instructors and coordinators from reallocating their time to other high-value tasks if a session remains empty. It also creates logistical challenges for preparing materials or sending pre-session communications to a finalized attendee list.SuggestionIntroduce a Registration Cut-off Feature that allows admins to automatically disable new registrations at a predetermined interval before the event begins (e.g., 24 hours, 8 hours, or 1 hour prior).

    Skilljar Calendar SuggestionsNew Idea

    As we build out our calendars, here are some suggestions for improvement from our team: Allow for users to only see M-F, rather than the whole calendar week. Allow for customization on the visualization of the calendar (fonts, colors, etc). Color code different events/event types. Have multiple calendars available domain-wide

    Post-event survey suggestionNew Idea

    We strive to capture CSAT as much as possible but also as easy as possible.  It’s frustrating that to solicit feedback from our live session attendees that we have to create a lesson and it’s not “pushed” to them easily or automatically.  This would be a huge benefit.

    Improve UX for multi-content lessons that start with a videoNew Idea

    We encounter a UX issue with our learners relatively often when they are just starting to take our courses: they think a lesson is video-only, but the lesson actually contains much more content below the fold.We may be able to modify our lesson design to avoid this issue, but I also think Skilljar could enhance the layout of multi-content lessons.Our standard course lesson is a multi-content lesson composed of the following blocks:Embedded video Text and image lesson instructions QuizThe video is a recording of our live course, walking through the steps described in the text, so these are essentially two different ways to access the same content.However, in our live courses, in particular, we observe the following behavior from learners: they find the lesson, but for some reason, they start watching the video. The video they are watching simply repeats the demo we just gave them live. At this point, they get confused and wonder where the exercise instructions are. Or they don’t even start watching the video; they just ask us, “Where is the exercise?”The primary reason they get confused is that, on smaller displays, the lesson loads and perfectly fits just the embedded video. Therefore, they assume the lesson is only a video. They do not scroll down to see the rest of the lesson.Here is a screenshot illustrating the problem:You can view it yourself here (free registration required).I’m agnostic to the solution, but I think a UX designer could improve this somehow. Perhaps a small table of contents, a section jump button, or an expandable section under the current lesson on the left-hand navigation pane.Whatever it is, I think the interface needs to make it clearer to the learner that there is more to see if they scroll down.Thanks.

    Skilljar Taster modules in a Paid courseNew Idea

    Hi team,Skilljar used to allow modules within a paid course to be free, but since an earlier product update (template builder) was introduced last year, this functionality has been removed.Please reinstate this option, as we need to launch paid eLearning material and have at least the first 2-3 modules free, then a prompt to the learner to pay for the course to access the rest of the course to complete.

    Implement lazy loading for media (images and video) in Skilljar by GainsightNew Idea

    My SEO Specialist has identified that the default method of embedding videos in Skilljar does not use the loading="lazy" option. He says it should use lazy loading to follow best practices for page performance, according to Mozilla.I suggest we add a default or an option to enable lazy loading for images in HTML lessons and video lessons. This will improve page loading times.We could re-embed all our current videos with a custom embed code (or edit image HTML) to achieve this, but that would involve a significant amount of work, as we have hundreds of videos and images in our lessons.This idea is similar to:but for Skilljar.

    Add native "back to catalog page" button to end of courseNew Idea

    So, on the catalog pages, I noticed there's an arrow next to the academy logo that lets users go back to the previous catalog page. It is not persistent across courses though. So, here's the issue. When using the back button, the user is forced to go back through all previous navigation before getting to the catalog page. And, the in-course navigation to a catalog page doesn't exist. Once a user is done with the course, it just sits there with nowhere to go except the links in the header or the back button. The work around is to create another lesson in the course that provides the user with a link back to where you want them to go. But it would be delightful if we didn’t have to add a fake lesson and there could be another navigation button at the bottom of the course that would say back [to catalog page] and it would take the user back to the last catalog page they visited.

    Request for Enhancement: Align Student Manager Permissions with Course/Path Visibility SettingsNew Idea

    Currently, Student Manager permissions operate independently from course and path visibility settings. This creates an administrative burden, as each Student Manager's permissions must be manually updated whenever a new course or path is added to the Learning Management System (LMS).I recommend implementing a feature that automatically aligns Student Manager permissions with the established course and path visibility rules. This enhancement would streamline administrative workflows, reduce the potential for access discrepancies, and ensure that Student Managers automatically inherit appropriate permissions when new learning content is published.This change would significantly improve operational efficiency and reduce the ongoing maintenance required for user permission management.
