Custom reports can show results related either to Users only or to Users and Courses.
When the Report type(1) is set to the option Learning progress (2), the output of the report shows the correlation between users and courses, based on the rules set.

When it comes to courses, the results of the report can show courses that (3):

• Belong to a list of courses selected by the Admin
• Belong to specific groups
• Belong to specific branches
• Or, the Admin can let the system decide what courses will be shown.

In this article, we present some important scenarios on how the option “Let the system decide” works.

Select users that: have “Course X”
Output: The output of the report shows all the users that have been assigned to “Course X” and their progress to this course only.

Select users that: do not have “Course X”

Select users that: have completed a course within the last 5 days

The output of the report shows all the users of type X who have completed a course within the last 3 days. 

Select users that: are of type “Learner X” and have NOT completed a course within the last 3 days.
