Update a User CPD Entry

Note

Titan only!

Updating a user's CPD entry is quite straight forward, but needs to be done carefully.

Warning

The CPD Bulk Operations tool mentioned in earlier versions of this guide is not longer in use!

Instructions

Step 1 - Go to the Elasticsearch Update Tool.

Step 2 - In the list that appears, search for the CPD entry which needs updating. Use the relevant filters to narrow this down. Here is a list of the most common filters you might need to use:

Item	Description
Video ID	ID of the video a user has watched, found in the URL when editing the video.
Title	Title of the video a user has watched.
Type	Type of CPD that needs editing, look at the dropdown to view the different types.
Category	The Category the CPD belongs to, look at the dropdown for the available options.
Region	The Region the CPD has been recorded against. A user might have access to multiple to regions so this might help you narrow down specifics.
User ID	ID of the user, found in the URL when editing a user profile using the People menu link.
Created	Allows you to set a range for when the CPD was created.

Step 3 - Be careful here as changing the wrong entry may affect another user!

Step 4 - Edit the entry in question with the information corrected; the main changes are usually for points or duration.

You make you change by clicking directly into the filtered results, updating the value, and pressing enter on your keyboard.

Calculating the duration

The duration is shown in seconds, so if the duration needs to be updated to 36 minutes and 20 seconds, you will need to do a calculation like this '36 x 60' to calculate the number of seconds for 36 minutes, then add '20' for the remaining seconds, which works out as (36x60)+20=2180.

Step 5 - No need to Save the entry as hitting Enter automatically does this.
