I downloaded “grassblade_xapi_content_settings.csv’ file.
The file does not have any header row. It is just a empty csv file…
Would you give me feedback soon?
Look forward your message.

Have you uploaded any contents in the xAPI Content area?
Hi.
I have the same experience as Moonki Hwang. I have created 15 xAPI content items which are videos that use a Vimeo URL.
– I had their Status set as “Pending”.
I would like to quickly change settings in bulk rather than iterate through them all.
So it seems from the article above I should download the settings first to modify them and then upload them.
So to download the settings I tried the following:
1 . I selected ‘xAPI Content > Bulk Settings’ Menu item
2. On the ‘Bulk Settings’ page I clicked the ‘Download Content Settings’ accordion panel.
-> That revealed the Button ‘Download’ and the text link ‘Show’
3. I clicked first on the text link ‘Show’.
-> that opened a blank page.
4. Next I clicked on the button ‘Download’
-> that downloaded a file “grassblade_xAPI_content_settings.csv” that has a size of zero bytes.
a. I tried to open it in Numbers and Excel
-> The document appears blank.
b. I opened it in Atom to confirm that the file was not one that had data but was corrupted.
-> Again the document was blank.
I thought maybe this behaviour was because the Status setting was set as “pending”.
I changed the Status to “Published” on a 3 of the xAPI Content items and went through steps 1 to 4 again.
-> this time
-> clicking the ‘Show’ link opened a page listing the data for the xAPI items that were published.
-> clicking the ‘Download’ button downloaded a csv file with the data for those three xAPI content items that had the Status of “Published”
-> In a final test I wanted to see what would happen if the status of those three xAPI Content items was changed to “Draft”.
-> this was the same result as when the status was “Pending” There was no data shown or downloaded for the “Draft” xAPI Content items.
So I kind of solved the problem I first encountered but I wonder why the Status of the items has to be “Published”
Is this a bug or a feature? 🙂
If not a bug I would suggest a new feature
Change the behaviour so the xAPI content items data could be obtained regardless of the Status.
– one option would be to download data for any and all xAPI content items.
OR
– you add checkboxes to specify which data would be downloaded/shown.
– my suggestion would be to have check boxes for
– Statuses, and
– Categories
– failing that if all categories and statuses of xAPI content were downloaded you could add a columns for status and category to the table.
