DM Creation

Where to Start

• Sign in as a Super Admin.
• Open Data Manager → Catalog App.
• You’ll import both SCORM and video courses from here.

Prepare the CSV

• Click Import to see a minimalist upload screen.
• Download the sample CSV to review required fields:
  • platform_key, course_name, section, subsection, unit, tags, etc.—the same fields used in the single-course creation wizard.
• Populate the CSV with one row per course you want to add.

Import SCORM Courses

• In Catalog → Courses, press Import.
• Choose File and select your completed CSV.
• Click Submit.
• A validation dialog appears—review the parsed rows.
• Click Confirm Import if everything looks correct.
• If any row contains errors (e.g., duplicate course), the system flags it and cancels that row; fix and re-upload as needed.
• A success message lists every course that was added.

Import Video Courses

• In Catalog → Course Videos, click Import.
• Download the sample CSV to confirm field names (they’re shown on-screen).
• Fill in the CSV, choose it, and run Submit → Confirm Import just like SCORM.
• Success or error feedback appears immediately.

Locate Imported Courses

• After import, all new courses and videos appear in the Catalog App.
• They behave exactly like any manually created course; no further setup is required.

Learner View Check

• Switch to the Skills front-end.
• Open Discover.
• Search for a course title from your CSV (e.g., SC B Upload).
• The imported course is visible and enrollable, confirming a successful bulk upload.

Error Handling Tips

• Re-uploading an identical CSV row triggers a “course already exists” error—update the row or remove duplicates.
• Always validate before confirming; the dialog catches missing or malformed fields.

Key Takeaways

• Bulk import is only for SCORM and video course types.
• Use the sample CSV as your template and keep field names intact.
• Validation ensures you don’t create duplicates or malformed entries.
• Imported items instantly populate the Catalog and Discover views—no extra publishing step.

With these steps you can mass-create courses in minutes, freeing super admins from repetitive single-course setup.
