SumTotal

SumTotal Connector

SumTotal Connector uses SumTotal API to fetch the courses, assignments and completions data
Supports configuration based content retrieval with SumTotal Activity type ID filters
Smart Cards are created for Courses
Curriculum is represented as one card in LXP. Child Content will be displayed in SumTotal
Supports fetching completions data via API with PK# of the user
LXP synchronizes the courses, assignments and completions data from SumTotal once in a day

SumTotal API does not return hidden courses. So hidden courses will not be visible in LXP
Since LXP doesn’t have information about hidden courses, LXP will not show the assignment or completion data for hidden courses in MLP
Un-assignment in SumTotal will not reflect in LXP as there is no API to get the un-assignment information

SumTotal Connector can be configured from LXP Admin Console -> Content -> LMS Integrations
