You can track the 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.

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