Import Features:

• LMSACE Connect provides various options for importing courses, offering flexibility in managing course data. Here are the available import options:

1. Import Selected Courses as WooCommerce Product:

2. This option allows you to import chosen courses and automatically create corresponding WooCommerce products. Ideal for those who wish to sell courses as products in their WooCommerce store.

3. Import Selected Courses as Product and Save as Draft:

4. With this option, selected courses are imported as products in LMSACE Connect, but they are initially saved as drafts. This allows for review and necessary adjustments before publishing.

5. Update Existing Linked Product Data with Current Course Content:

6. If courses have already been imported as products in LMSACE Connect, this option lets you update the existing product data with the most recent course content. It ensures synchronization with any changes made to the course.

7. Import Selected Courses with Their Category:

8. This option facilitates the import of selected courses along with their respective categories. It ensures that course categorization is maintained during the import process.

9. Import Selected Courses with Their Details Summary:

10. By selecting this option, you can import chosen courses while including a detailed summary of each course. This provides users with a quick overview of the course content, aiding them in making informed decisions.

Additional Options to Enhance SSO:

SSO Activation Method:

• LMSACE Connect offers two options for the SSO Activation Method, allowing you to define when Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality is triggered.
• Login on WP: With this option, SSO is activated when a user logs into WordPress. After authentication, the user can seamlessly access other connected systems or applications without the need for additional logins.
• Access the Course: Selecting this option triggers SSO when a user accesses a specific course from the "My Courses" page in the WooCommerce MyAccount section.

Redirectless SSO:

• The Redirectless Single Sign-On (SSO) feature creates a seamless background session in Moodle™ LMS when a user logs into WordPress. This allows users to access Moodle resources without being redirected to another login page. Redirectless SSO only works when the "SSO Activation Method" setting is set to "Login on WP."

Create Users in Moodle™ on New Registration:

• The "Create users in Moodle™ on new registration" setting in LMSACE Connect determines when users are added to Moodle™ LMS. If enabled, users will be created in Moodle™ right after they register on WooCommerce. However, if this setting is disabled, user creation in Moodle™ will occur when they try to log in or access Moodle™ through WooCommerce.

Authentication Type:

• LMSACE Connect gives users two ways to log in: Manual, where they log in via WordPress and receive a Moodle™ password via email, or LMSACE Connect, which enables Single Sign-On (SSO) to access Moodle™ without a separate password.
