Deregistration
We recommend that you do not import the registration data until all registration and deregistration processes have been completed in VIS-online.
If this is not possible, we recommend that you do not deregister members from the course individually, but instead use the following procedure:
- Remove all enrollment data from your course's Members management.
- Export the current list from VIS:online again.
- Import the current list into OpenOlat again.
Please note: OpenOlat suggests to send info mails when members register or deregister. You can customize the text of these mails or not send them at all to avoid confusion.
