From the Duration drop-down, select the relevant durations and select Apply to apply the filter. Select Clear all to clear the applied filter. Alternatively, use the Select all checkbox to toggle the selection of all durations on and off.

5. Select the X icon to close the panel.

6. On the Import Go1 courses panel, select the checkboxes of the Go1 courses you want to import. As mentioned, you can import up to 30 courses at a time. 

7. With the relevant Go1 courses selected, select Import to import the courses or Cancel to cancel the import. You can continue to use LMS365 while courses are being imported as a background task.

 

 

The time it takes to import courses depends partly on the number of courses you import. Notifications are displayed in the notifications feed when courses have been imported successfully and when one or more courses fail to import. Select the bell icon on the LMS365 Admin Center toolbar to check notifications.

Imported courses are displayed on the Training Management page, side by side with other courses and training plans. The Status column for an imported Go1 course shows the red cross icon , which means it's unpublished. The Category column displays the categories assigned to the course.

If one or more courses fail to import, view the relevant notification for more information.
