Publishing as xAPI - seeing xAPI comments by default

Hi, Chuck.

Thank you for reaching out!

Currently, there isn't an option to disable the default xAPI statements sent to the LRS/LMS. 

I've submitted your suggestions to our team, and we'll come back to update this discussion if we have any news to share. Here's how we manage feature requests.

Hi Maria,

I know this post is still rather fresh, but I was wondering if there was any update to this topic?

My team and I have run into the same issue where we would like to only see the specific xAPI statements that we have set up and not the default ones for every slide when it's visited/experienced. 

King regards

If I could add my vote for this...I work for a Fortune 100 company with 90,000 employees. Although my team supports only a portion of those employees, there are way too many canned xAPI statements to sort through in order to get meaningful data. Anything you could do to expediate an opt-out for the automatic xAPI statements would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Corey and Mary.

Thank you for reaching out!

While I don't have any news to share on this feature request, I've added your comments to the report, and I'll return to this discussion when I have any updates.

This gets my vote, too!

Agree, it would be great to toggle on/off (default off). This especially affects users where the LRS vendor charges based on number of statements or API requests per month (or has a max), or they're running their own LRS and pay for the storage and database directly.

With one client using Veracity, we were able to ignore all of the "experienced" statements for each slide navigation in a particular LRS by using a VQL script.

All Management Tools > Saved Scripts and Queries

{

  filter:{

      "verb.id":{$ne:"http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/experienced"}

  },  

  process:[]

}

Note that this applies to all statements coming into that LRS, but for this use case it saves on a lot of cruft.

I'm very glad to see customizable xAPI now, though! Hope that feature keeps seeing updates/improvements.

Hi there!

Beginning to explore xAPI with my team and we were running into this as well.

Checking to see if there are any updates about turning off these default statements.

Thanks!
