Manage Providers Configuration

You can configure providers using Manage providers in Viva Learning Admin. The Add providers list displays the available providers for configuration. Once a provider is configured, it appears in the Configured providers list.

Adding a provider requires either a Global Admin or Knowledge Admin role. Review this article to Learn how to assign roles.

You can edit or delete an existing configured provider directly from Manage providers.

Note

  • There are some configuration fields you can't edit once a provider is configured. These fields are unique identifier for each provider connection.
  • By making them non-editable, we make sure that each provider is uniquely pointed to a single data source to prevent data duplication or loss.
  • If you are required to edit these fields, reconfigure the provider.

Note

If you delete all learning providers, the Viva Learning Teams app will be empty.

You can track the following details: current sync status, last successful sync time, next scheduled sync time, ingestion logs, and trigger full sync for each component in the expanded view.

  • Sync status and timestamp: Check the current sync status (success/failed/in progress) of catalog, learner records, and catalog permissions.

  • Manual sync trigger: Trigger the sync manually for a delta/full sync. Once a full sync is triggered, the sync status is updated accordingly.

  • Export log: Admins can refer to the export log file for a detail about successful and failed sync cycles.

Note

The sync status, sync time stamp and export logs are only currently available for catalog sync for all providers. Sync status and sync timestamp for learner records are only available for SAP SuccessFactor. Manual sync trigger is only available for catalog in SharePoint and SAP SuccessFactor.

Note

We recommend an aspect ratio of 16:9 for images to render properly in Viva Learning.
