The Training Management page and its capabilities

Introduction

The Training Management page of the LMS365 Admin Center provides an overview of all courses and training plans in the selected catalog, the ability to create or import training, and various training management options.

In this guide, we describe the Training Management page and its capabilities, including filtering and sorting options, the Waiting List, Request(s) for Sessions, Pending Approval, and Training Provisioning views, and the import of Go1 and LinkedIn Learning courses. From the Training Management page, the Course management and Training Plan Management panels can be reached, enabling access to the various training management options.

 

Overview of the Training Management page

Required role: catalog admin or course admin.

By default, the Training Management page of the LMS365 Admin Center opens:

• For catalog admins with an overview of all courses and training plans in the current course catalog. Here, catalog admins can access all training management options, including create, import, and manage training, and filter and sort the information on the page.

 

 

• For course admins with an overview of their own courses and training plans. Here, course admins have limited access to training management options, including manage training, and filter and sort the information on the page.

 

 

The Training Management page enables catalog admins to create new courses and training plans, import courses from Go1 and LinkedIn Learning, and see all the courses and training plans in the current catalog.

The recommended maximum number of courses in a catalog is 2500, and this number includes courses created in LMS365, courses imported via Import External Training, and courses imported from Go1 and LinkedIn Learning.

The icons next to courses and training plans indicate the training type:

• (a monitor icon) is shown for e-learning courses, and courses imported from Go1 and LinkedIn Learning.
• (a person in front of the monitor) is shown for instructor-led courses.
• (a folder icon) is shown for training plans.

Information is presented in the following columns:

• Title. Displays the title of the course or training plan.
  
  
• Training is set to 'do not show' in course catalog'. Shows whether the course or training plan is set visible (no icon displayed ) or hidden (the eye icon) for users in the catalog. You can use this column for sorting and you can filter its content. The visibility of a course or training plan is controlled by the Show in Course Catalog option in the Settings section of the training configuration panel.

   

• Course/Training Plan progress. Select the bar chart icon next to a course or training plan to open its progress panel.

   

• Enrolled. Displays the number of users who are currently enrolled in the course or training plan.
  
  
• Completed. Displays the number of users who have completed the course or training plan.
  
  
• Overdue. Displays the number of users who haven't completed the course or training plan up to the due date or have completed it after the due date came.
  
  
• Status. Displays the current status of the course or training plan. The status can be:

• • Published. The training is published and current.
  • Unpublished. The training isn't published.
  • Planned. The training is published, and its start date is in the future.

• Category. Displays the assigned categories for the course or training plan. You can use this column for sorting and you can filter its content.

 

 

• The source of the imported content package (the cloud icon). This column is displayed only if Go1 and/or LinkedIn Learning integration is set up and courses have been imported from the source into LMS365. The source of the imported content package for imported courses can be identified by the relevant brand icon.

 

• Average rating (the asterisk icon). Displays the average rating of the course or training plan (to one decimal place), based on all received ratings that aren't hidden. Hidden ratings aren't included in the calculation here but they're included in the total number of ratings provided for the course or training plan. You can sort the information on the page using this column.

   

• Number of users who marked this course or training plan as a favorite (the heart icon). Displays the number of learners who currently have this course or training plan marked as a favorite. This number is also displayed if you hover over a number (Current favorites), as is the number of learners who have ever marked this course or training plan as a favorite (All time). You can sort the information on the page using this column.

Selecting a course or training plan opens the Course management or Training Plan Management panel respectively, which enables you to choose from the available management options.

The Create training option enables catalog admins to create courses and training plans. Once created, catalog admins and users assigned as course admins can manage it from the Training Management page.

Sort, filter and search for training

You can sort and filter the information on the Training Management page, and search for the relevant training. Use a combination of filters and search text to quickly find the relevant training.

1. Select any column title (except for Status) to sort the information in alphabetical order (ascending A-Z or descending Z-A) or in numerical order (ascending or descending).

2. From the Select Filter drop-down, you can filter training by type, publishing status, sharing to Viva Learning, content from Go1, or content from Linkedin Learning. The default view displays all courses and training plans in the catalog, regardless of publishing status. If Go1 and/or LinkedIn Learning courses have been imported, you can filter these courses by selecting the relevant checkboxes. Any training plans that contain Go1 and/or LinkedIn Learning courses will also be displayed.

You can use a combination of filters to show, for example, courses of a certain type that have a specific publishing status. Catalog admins can additionally filter the view to show content shared with Viva Learning. Course admins see only the courses and training plans for which they're an admin.

• • That are marked as being shared with Viva Learning. When this filter is set, the display of courses and training plans is determined by the Show in Viva Learning option in the Settings section of the training configuration panel. Two filtering options are available: In Viva Learning and Not in Viva Learning.
  • That were imported from Go1 by selecting the Content from Go1 checkbox. Any training plans that contain Go1 courses will also be displayed.
