When using an "Oblige to Retake" template to reassign a Learning path to learners through the Team Workspace (Team → Self-Paced Training → Reassign Training), you may notice that sometimes the reassignment does not take place as expected. This article explains the reason behind this behavior and how a specific setting within courses of the Learning path influences reassignment.
Expected Behavior Based on Course Settings
If the courses included in the Learning path have the setting: "Course progress remains unaffected when users are re-assigned the learning path" enabled:
then the system is designed not to reset learner progress when the Learning path is reassigned. As a result, learners who have already completed the Learning path will not be re-assigned their training when included in an "Oblige to Retake" template.
This is the expected behavior and ensures that user progress is preserved unless the courses allow reassignment to override it.
Key Takeaway
Please note that any changes to this setting will only apply to future reassignments made via template and will not retroactively reset progress for learners who were included in previous reassignments.
If you intend for learners to be reassigned the Learning path and for their progress to be reset, you will need to:
- Uncheck the setting: “Course progress remains unaffected when users are re-assigned the learning path” for the relevant courses.
- Then proceed with the "Oblige to Retake" action.
