Specifying Default Publication Settings For Package Editors – uPerform On-Premise Manuals

The package editor allows you to change the manifest file that is included in course and simulation packages.

From the Editor, open the new template.
Click the Publications tab.
Select Package Editor in the task pane.

Since the course is started from the LMS but runs from the server, users will need to authenticate in the server. Update the AU file with an authentication method identifier based on your needs. If the template specifies an authentication method that differs from the default server authentication method, the template authentication method will take precedence over the server default.

If you want users to authenticate

Then

Using a specific authentication method

From the Administration > Authentication Methods screen, copy the relevant Method ID value.
Append &authMode={ID} immediately after <@ContentPath@>. For example:
<@ContentPath@>&authMode=f6e08488-a13d-49ff-b5a0-db5c77fa23e2
Click File > Save to save the template.

Using a default authentication method specified in the server

Select File > Saveto save the template.
Set one of your active Server authentication methods as the default for use by the LMS proxy. For more information, refer to Introduction to Configuring Authentication Types

The following table explains the Data Elements:

Data Element	Explanation
Lesson Status	Element utilized to specify the completion status of the SCO (completed/incomplete). This element can also be utilized to specify the mastery/success of the SCO (passed/failed).
Completion Status	Element utilized to specify the completion status of the SCO (completed/incomplete).
Success Status	The element utilized to specify the mastery of the SCO (passed/failed).
Lesson Location	The element used to specify the step/page at which the learner terminated the SCO. Also referred to as the SCO bookmark.
Suspend Data	The element utilized to persist content-specific information, such as the pages/steps the learner has viewed within the SCO. This element is primarily utilized by courses.
Raw Score (0-100)	The element utilized for specifying the score achieved by the learner within the SCO. The value is based on the performance within the assessment mode of a simulation, or within either an assessment or terminated branch, with scoring enabled, inserted into a course.
Min Score	The minimum score a learner can achieve within a lesson. This value is currently always set to a value of "0" (zero) within published content.
Max Score	The maximum score a learner can achieve within a lesson. This value is currently always set to a value of "100" within published content.
Percent Complete	The element utilized to specify the completion percentage of a learner within the SCO.
Scaled Score (0-10)	The element utilized to specify the performance of a learner within the SCO that is scaled to fit with the range of 0 – 1.0. The value is based on the performance within the assessment mode of a simulation, or within either an assessment or terminated branch, with scoring enabled, inserted into a course.
Session Time	The time the learner has spent in the lesson during a given session.
Interactions	The data related to the questions/steps within an assessment. The value is based on the performance within the assessment mode of a simulation, or an assessment inserted into a course. Interaction ID - The unique identifier of the interaction. Interaction Time - A timestamp at which the interaction was completed. Interaction Type - The type of the interaction. Interaction Correct Response - The correct answer for the interaction. Interaction Student Response - The learner's response to the interaction. Interaction Result - The success outcome (correct or incorrect/wrong) Interaction Description - The description of the interaction, utilized to persist the question stem. In the case of SCORM 1.2, this is a custom data model element that is utilized by ANCILE uLearn.
