My Training Dashboard and its capabilities

Introduction

My Training Dashboard is the user's personalized training dashboard that provides each user with an overview of the training they're enrolled in, their training progress, transcripts, and the ability to view and manage their skills.

My Training Dashboard also gives line managers insights into their teams' training progress. Therefore, My Training Dashboard includes additional sections that only users with the line manager role can see.

Moreover, My Training Dashboard provides users who are assigned as a supervisor with access to assess learners.

My Training Dashboard has a left navigation that allows users to view different aspects of their training status. 

In this article, we go through the menu items in the left navigation, provide an overview of the functionality of My Training Dashboard, and show how users can use My Training Dashboard to get a personalized overview of their training status.

Read the article or watch the video (more details are included in the article). In the video, you can use the Chapters feature to navigate to the relevant part.

Use the Select type filter. By default, this filter has 1 selected displayed because the Hide Inactive parameter is automatically preselected. In this case, unpublished, deleted, or imported via the Import external training data option on the Users page, courses and training plans are hidden on the dashboard. To get an overview of all courses and training plans, including the mentioned above, deselect the Hide Inactive option. 
No training types are preselected by default in this filter.

 

 

In the filter, under Training Type, select the types of training you want to see on the dashboard. After selecting the relevant checkboxes, the training display is automatically adjusted and shows the number of selected parameters. The selection reverts to 1 selected with Hide Inactive preselected and no training type selected after a page refresh or navigation from another page.

 

Filter by name or due date

Available in both Card and List views.

 

In Card View, filtering by name or due date is available in the Due Date filter:

• Name (Z-A). Courses and training plans are sorted in reverse alphabetical order (Z-A).
  
  
• Due Date (arrow up). Courses and training plans with the oldest due dates, and therefore the most important to complete, are displayed at the top of the list. This is the default filter setting.

   

• Due Date (arrow down). Courses and training plans with the most recent due dates are displayed at the top of the list.

In List View, the training due date is displayed in the Due Date column. Filtering by due date is available by selecting the Due Date column. Filtering by name is possible by selecting the Training Name column, which enables you to sort courses and training plans alphabetically (A-Z or Z-A).

 

Filter Completed and All training by the completion date

Available in Card view only.

When you select Completed or All in the completion status filter, the Due Date filter transforms into Completion Date filter:

• Completion Date (arrow up). Courses and training plans that have the oldest completion dates are displayed at the top of the list.
  
  
• Completion Date (arrow down). Courses and training plans that have the most recent completion dates are displayed at the top of the list.

 

Show my favorites

The Show my favorites filter is available in both Card and List views. Favorite training is marked with the filled heart icon.

Selecting Show my favorites filters the list of courses and training plans to show only those that you've added as favorites, regardless of their completion status. 

 

 

For training plans the filter works in the following way:

• If a training plan was added to favorites with all or several courses in it also marked as favorites, the filtered results will show this training plan and when expanded, it will also include its favorite courses.

• If a training plan was added to favorites but none of its courses were marked as favorite, the filtered result will show just this training plan, which can't be expanded.

• If a course within a training plan was added to favorites but the training plan itself wasn't, the filtered results will show the course but it won't be shown within a training plan.

 

You can further filter the favorite training by selecting the relevant checkboxes in Training type, Other Filters, or use the search field.

 

 

To reset the filtered results, select Back to planned. As a result, you return to the default view of the Training section, where only planned courses and training plans will be displayed.

 

The search field

Use the Search field to find a relevant course or training plan. It's available in both Card and List views.

The Search field works on course and training plan titles. It looks for words that contain the search term and not just words that start with the search term used.

 

 

Filter by mandatory status

Available in both Card and List views.

 

 

The Mandatory icon indicates that the course or training plan is set as required for completion. Moreover, a training plan also has the Mandatory icon if at least one of the courses inside the training plan is set as required for completion.

In Card View, the Mandatory icon is displayed on the card of a mandatory course or training plan. To filter by the mandatory status of courses and training plans, use the Hide Inactive filter and select Mandatory Only. 

 

 

In List View, mandatory courses and training plans show a corresponding icon in the Mandatory column. Selecting the Mandatory column enables you to sort courses and training plans, with or without the mandatory status shown first.

Search and filtering

The Skills section includes the following search and filtering options:

• From the Skill filter, learners can select the checkboxes of the skills by which they want to filter the list or use the search box to find the relevant ones.

• From the Skill source filter, further filter the Skills list by selecting the checkboxes of the training that, or people who, granted or added the skill. Alternatively, use the search box to find the relevant source.

• Select the Acquired on filter to call out a calendar, where learners select the date range within which the skill was acquired.

• Select the Revocation Date filter to call out a calendar, where learners select the date range within which the skill was, or will be, revoked.

• From the Status filter, select the checkboxes of the relevant statuses: Valid, Revoked, Planned, or Pending approval. Only skills of the selected statuses will be displayed. By default, all skills with all statuses are displayed.

• To search for a specific skill, use the Search field. The search works by looking for skill properties that contain the search term, not just words that start with it: training titles for which the skill is awarded or the person who granted the skill, skill title, and skill level.
  
  
• In list view, select any column heading to change the sort order of the skills.
  By default, skills with the most recent Acquired on date are displayed at the top of the list (down arrow). Selecting the Acquired on column heading, learners can change the sort order to show the earliest acquired skills at the top of the list (up arrow).
  The same logic applies to the other column headings.

• In card view, there is an additional filter:
  • Name (A-Z). Skills are sorted by title alphabetically (A-Z).
  • Name (Z-A). Skills are sorted by title in reverse alphabetical order (Z-A).
  • Acquired on (arrow up). Skills with the earliest Acquired on date are displayed at the top of the list. 
  • Acquired on (arrow down). Skills with the most recent Acquired on date are displayed at the top of the list.

 

Available actions

From the Skills section of My Training Dashboard, learners can perform actions depending on whether they're in card or list view.

• In List View, action links are available by selecting the relevant ellipsis icon if the skill was acquired via a course or training plan. If the skill was granted by a person, no additional actions are available.

 

 

• In Card View, the learner can select a skill title to call out a panel, where actions are available by selecting the ellipsis icon if the skill was acquired via a course or training plan. If the skill was granted by a person, no additional actions are available.

 

 

Add my skills

The Add my skills option is available both in the card and list view.

For learners to be able to add and self-evaluate skills, the Self-evaluation of skills option must be enabled by the catalog admin from the Global Settings area of the LMS365 Admin Center.

If a learner wants to add a skill to their record, they should follow these steps:

1. On My Training Dashboard, select Add my skills.

2. On the opened Add my skills panel, use the Search field to find the relevant skill:

• Click in the field to call out a drop-down list of available skills.
• As you enter part of the skill title, the list reduces to show only skills that contain the search term.

Learners can add several skills at a time.

 

 

3. With the relevant skill selected, a drop-down list is called out, where learners can select a skill level.

 

 

4. Select Submit.

What happens next will depend on the setting of the Require line manager approval for self-evaluation of skills toggle in the Global Settings of the LMS365 Admin Center. For more information on this setting, see this article.

• If line manager approval isn't required, learners can add and evaluate their own skills without line manager approval. The added skill will be displayed in the Skills section and added to the learner's transcript.
• If line manager approval is required, the added skills will be displayed as Pending approval until the request is reviewed by their line manager:
  • If the line manager approves the requested skill, it will be displayed in the Skills section and added to the learner's transcript. The learner will receive the Skill request approved email notification.
  • If the line manager rejects the requested skill, the learner will receive the Skill request rejected email notification and the Pending approval skill will be deleted.

 

Adjust the skill level

If a learner wants to adjust the level of a skill they've already acquired, they should follow these steps:

1. From the Skills section, select the relevant skill title. This opens the skill panel, where learners will get an overview of the acquired skill and all the levels the learner has acquired for this skill.

2. Select Adjust skill level.

 

 

3. On the opened Adjust skill level panel, the learner selects the relevant level from the drop-down list.

4. Select Submit.

 

 

What happens next will depend on the setting of the Require line manager approval for self-evaluation of skills toggle in the Global Settings of the LMS365 Admin Center. For more information on this setting, see this article.

• If line manager approval isn't required, learners can adjust their skill levels without line manager approval. The added skill will be displayed in the Skills section and added to the learner's transcript.
• If line manager approval is required, the adjusted skill levels will be displayed as Pending approval until the request is reviewed by their line manager:
  • If the line manager approves the requested skill level, it will be displayed in the Skills section and added to the learner's transcript. The learner will receive the Skill request approved email notification.
  • If the line manager rejects the requested skill, the learner will receive the Skill request rejected email notification and the Pending approval skill will be deleted.

The Transcript section

Overview

This section can be hidden from the navigation by the admin. 

In the Transcript section, users see an overview of all courses and training plans they're enrolled in, all planned, valid, expiring, and expired certificates, and all planned, valid, and revoked skills across all catalogs to which they have access.

The Transcript section includes three subsections: Training, Certificates, and Skills. To navigate between subsections, use the Select Filter drop-down list and select the subsections you want to display. By default, all subsections are displayed. Selecting all the subsections from the filter has the same effect as an empty filter.

 

 

The Training subsection

Under Training, users can see all courses and training plans they're enrolled in, across all catalogs to which they have access. This includes courses and training plans from deleted catalogs.

The following information about courses and training plans is displayed:

• Training title.
  
  
• Completion status (Not Started, In Progress, or Completed).
  
  
• Completion date for completed courses and training plans.
  
  
• CEUs (if set).

Each column in the Training subsection can be used for sorting by selecting the column name. By default, courses and training plans are ordered alphabetically by name (A-Z). 

Selecting the title of a specific course or training plan redirects you to its home page. If a course or training plan has been canceled, unpublished, deleted, or imported via the Import external training data option on the Users page, it can't be accessed its title is disabled.
An asterisk near numbers in the CEUs column notify you that these are planned CEUs that will be received upon completion of the training. Moreover, under the list of all courses and training plans, at the bottom of the section, you can track Earned CEUs that have already been received, * Planned CEUs that will be received, and Total CEUs (the sum of earned and planned CEUs).

 

The Certificates subsection

Under Certificates, users can see all their certificates listed with title, validity status (Valid, Expiring, Expired, or Planned), the issued date (except for planned certificates), and the expiry date (if set). If users have more than one certificate for a course or training plan, all of them are shown in this section.

Each column in the Certificates subsection can be used for sorting by selecting the columns name. By default, certificates are sorted by issued date.

Selecting a title of a course or training plan in the Certificates subsection redirects you to the training home page. If a course or training plan has been canceled, unpublished, deleted, or imported via the Import external training data option on the Users page, it isn't possible to access it and its title is disabled.

 

The Skills subsection

Under Skills, learners can see all their skills listed with the title, validity status (Revoked, Valid, or Planned), the achievement date (except for planned skills), and the revocation date (if set).

Each column in the Skills subsection can be sorted by selecting the column name. By default, skills are sorted by achievement date.

The Skill source column displays either the title of the training or a person's name, depending on the way the skill was acquired:

• The title of the training that, upon completion, awards the skill. If the training link is blue, you can select it to go to the training home page. If the training link is grey, it's disabled because the training is canceled, deleted, ended, unpublished, or imported via the Import external training data option on the Users page.
  
  
• The name of the admin who granted the skill manually via the Users page or the Line Manager Dashboard. You can contact this person via email by selecting their name.
  
  
• The name of the learner, if they added the skill themselves via the Add my skills option and line manager approval isn't required.

• The name of the line manager who approved the skill request that the learner added via the Add my skills option. The line manager's name will be displayed only if line manager approval for the self-evaluation of skills is required.

The CEUs section

Overview

This section can be hidden from the navigation by the admin. 

In the CEUs section, users can get an overview of their received CEUs. This section displays only the courses and training plans that the user is enrolled in that offer CEUs. The title, training type, number of CEUs granted, and the user's CEU status (Earned or Planned) are displayed.

CEUs from completed deleted courses and training plans are also displayed here, but they can't be accessed, and their titles are disabled.

To see the CEUs for each course in a training plan, select expand arrow next to the training plan title.

 

 

At the bottom of the CEUs section, a bar shows a summary of the CEUs and their status.

• Earned. CEUs that have been received upon training completion.
  
  
• * Planned. CEUs that will be received upon training completion.
  
  
• Total. The sum of earned and planned CEUs. 

When users retake a course or training plan, they see duplicates of this training - one with the Earned status and an explanation tooltip notifying them that the training is being retaken, and one with the Planned status.

The Earned status is the user's previous achievement and the number of CEUs the user has already received.

The Planned status shows the number of CEUs the user will receive after a successful retake. 

After the retake is completed, the number of CEUs earned is updated, the duplicate with the Earned status is deleted, and the Planned one becomes Earned and is the only one displayed.

 

Available actions

Additional information and action links for the training are available in the right-hand column:

• View Course/Training Plan. Redirects you to the home page of the training that offers CEUs.
