View Training Plan

Required role: catalog admin or course admin.

The View Training Plan action link redirects you to the training plan home page, where you can view how the training plan description, information, and content is presented to users.

 

 

Edit Training Plan

Required role: catalog admin or course admin.

The Edit Training Plan action link redirects you to the training configuration panel, opened on the Basic details section. This is where you can edit basic training plan settings, and the thumbnail and banner images.

You can navigate between training plan sections to make relevant changes. You don't need to save changes when navigating between sections. Saving is necessary only before you close the training plan configuration panel.

After you've made the relevant changes, you can:

• Select Save to save changes and stay in training plan configuration mode, enabling you to make further changes.
• Select Save and close to save changes and close the training plan configuration panel.

 

 

Manage Training Plan Settings

Required role: catalog admin or course admin.

The Manage Training Plan Settings action link redirects you to the Settings section of the training plan configuration panel. Here, you can introduce relevant changes to training plan settings.

 

Certificate

When you edit the Certificate expiry settings, the new expiry date will be applied to certificates that will be awarded in the future. It won't influence the expiration date of previously issued certificates.

 

Skill

When you edit the Skill revocation settings, the new revocation date will be applied to skills that will be granted in the future. It won't influence the revocation date of previously granted skills.

The Skill revocation option inherits the certificate expiry date settings (if set). To set a specific revocation date for skills, disable the Certificate expiry option or configure it in such a way that it matches the settings you want to apply for skill revocation.

 

Manage People

Required role: catalog admin or course admin.

The Manage People action link redirects you to the People section of the training plan configuration panel. Here, you can manage the learners and admins of the training plan. 

 

 

Email Learners

Required role: catalog admin or course admin.

The Email Learners action link redirects you to the Email Learners panel. Here, you can see the learners who are enrolled in the training plan and send email messages to them.

You can filter the view to find the relevant learners:

• From the All statuses drop-down list, select the relevant option to filter the learners: Not started, In progress, and Completed. The default value is All statuses.
  
• From the All drop-down list, filter by Overdue or Not Overdue. The default value is All.
  
• Select any column title to sort the displayed information in alphabetical order (ascending A-Z or descending Z-A) or in numerical order (ascending or descending).

 

To send an email to learners:

1. From the list of enrolled users on the Email Learners panel, select the relevant learners. To select all the learners, select the checkbox next to the Name column heading.

2. From the opened Actions panel, select Send Email Message. The Send Email Message panel opens.

If none of the selected learners have an email address registered with their account, the Send Email Message option is disabled.

3. On the Send Email Message panel, complete the Subject and Body fields.

In the Subject field, enter the subject of your email message, which is displayed as the message title.

In the Body field, enter the text of the message. By default, the link to the training plan home page is included in the message body. You can edit or delete the default information.

A rich text editor is available, using which you can insert media, images, or files from your local computer, to enrich the course description. You can expand the text field by selecting the Fullscreen icon in the rich text editor. This gives you more space when you're working with the text.

For customers with an LMS365 Professional or Select subscription, the rich text editor includes the spell check, accessibility checker, and PowerPaste features.

 

 

4. Select Send to send the message.

If one or more of the selected learners don't have an email address registered for their account, a warning message informs you that the email won't be sent to them. In this case, you can Cancel or Confirm that you want to send the email to learners who have a registered email address.

Sending the same email to a large number of recipients can increase the risk of your message being rejected, or categorized as less important or even as junk email by email clients and spam filters.

If the email address of one or more learners is misspelled or doesn't exist, a warning email is sent to the connected email account, informing them that some of the selected learners won't receive the email.

 

Approve Enrollments

Required role: catalog admin or course admin.

The Approve Enrollments action link redirects you to the Approve Enrollments page, which shows all the enrollment requests for the training plan: pending approval, enrolled, rejected, and cancelled. By default, the Approve Enrollments panel opens with the Pending Approval enrollment requests preselected.
