Catalog Synchronization
Catalog Synchronization reduces the burden of creating and managing LMS courses for association staff. The products created in Nimble AMS are auto-created within the Crowd Wisdom learning module, alleviating the need for duplicate data-entry efforts.
Ensure that you update the LMS Term of the ordered Product for a successful Order sync.
