Overview of 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, and transcripts.

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.

 

The left navigation of My Training Dashboard

The following list of navigation elements is the available navigation items for the left navigation of My Training Dashboard. The LMS admin can configure which of these navigation elements will be visible to users.

 

The Overview section

The Overview section provides information about current and upcoming courses and training plans and may be divided into two subsections:

  • My Team’s Training Status (available for line managers only) provides an overview of the progress of the line manager's team, as well as the progress of individual team members.

  • My Training Status provides an overview of the learner's own progress.

My Team’s Training Status

My Team’s Training Status (available for line managers only) provides a tenant-wide overview of the progress of the line manager's team, as well as the progress of individual team members. The My Team’s Training Status section contains three subsections: Direct Reports Summary, Direct Reports’ Subordinates Summary, and List of Learners.

NOTE   

  • Direct reports are learners who are managed by a specific line manager. Find more information about setting up line managers in LMS365 in this article. 

  • Direct reports' subordinates are learners who are managed by a direct report of a specific line manager. In this case, the direct report is a line manager for these particular learners.

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.

NOTE   

Users don't see the training or the certificates/skills associated with it if:

  • They've been added to the waiting list.

  • They've sent the enrollment request, but it hasn't been approved yet.

  • They've enrolled in the training, but this training was unpublished.

  • They've enrolled in the training, but it was unpublished before they started it. 

 

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, it can't be accessed its title is disabled.

NOTE   

If the Voluntary Retake option is enabled and a user is retaking a course or training plan, the status of this training is Not Started or In Progress (depending on the user's progress), but the user's previous completion records are still registered in the user's training records in Transcript.

NOTE   

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, it isn't possible to access it and its title is disabled.

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 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.

 

NOTE   

  • The number of CEUs earned upon training completion isn't updated if the number of CEUs offered for the training is changed after the user has completed it.

For example, when a user completes a course or training plan, the number of CEUs earned for it is 12. Sometime later, a course admin changes the number of CEUs earned for the course or training plan to 20. The user's CEUs earned for this course or training plan isn't updated and stays at 12. The user can retake the training to get the CEUs updated, if required.

  • The number of CEUs earned upon training completion is updated if the number of CEUs offered for the training is changed after the user has completed it and the user then retakes the training.
    The change to the number of CEUs is displayed on the training card.
  1. If the number of CEUs earned for completing the training isn't changed, the user sees +0* on the training card with Planned CEUs. CEUs will be updated after the retake is successfully completed.

  2. If the number of CEUs earned upon training completion is increased, the user sees +(difference between the CEUs already earned and the new value set)* on the training card with Planned CEUs. CEUs will be updated after the retake is successfully completed.

  3. If the number of CEUs earned upon training completion is decreased, the user sees -(difference between the CEUs already earned and the new value set)* on the training card with Planned CEUs. CEUs will be updated after the retake is successfully completed.

    CEUs_page

     

Search and filtering

The CEUs section includes the following search and filtering options:

  • From the All filter, select the relevant statuses (All, Earned, or Planned) so that only courses and training plans that have the selected CEUs statuses are displayed. By default, all courses and training plans with all statuses are displayed in alphabetical order (A-Z) by title.

     



  • The Completion Period filter allows to you to filter courses and training plans that have a completion date in the selected date range. A panel that contains a calendar opens, enabling you to select the date range.

  • To search for a specific course or training plan that offers CEUs, use the Search field. The search looks for words that contain the search term, not just words that start with the search term used and runs on course and training plan titles.

  • Each columnTraining Name, Status, Completion Date, and CEUs—can be used for sorting skills by selecting the column name.
    Selecting the Completion Date column enables you to sort courses and training plans by the most recent to oldest (down arrow) or oldest to most recent (up arrow) completion date.

NOTE   

The applied search affects the view of the CEUs and therefore the number of CEUs shown in the bar at the bottom of the screen.

For example, if the user types "LMS" in the search field, the user can see only the CEUs of courses and training plans that have this word in the title and, in the bar at the bottom of the screen, only these CEUs are counted.

Also, the applied filtering affects the view of the CEUs and therefore the number of CEUs shown in the bar at the bottom of the screen as well.

For example, if the user selects only the courses and training plans with planned CEUs status to be shown, in the bar at the bottom of the screen, in the *Planned and Total CEUs, only these CEUs are counted.

 

The Leaderboard section

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

The Leaderboard section displays the ranking of users on the tenant based on the total number of earned CEUs, training completed, and certificates acquired. 

NOTE   

  • External users can see SharePoint profile pictures of other external users from the same domain. Internal users can see pictures from SharePoint profiles and Office 365 (provided they have a configured Office 365 profile).

  • If you have different pictures in your Office 365 and SharePoint profiles, you see a picture from the Office 365 profile on the Leaderboard.


The Leaderboard section has three rating tables: CEUs Earned, Training Completed, and Certificates Acquired.

You can select the date range for which the Leaderboard should count data using the All Time drop-down menu: This Week, This Month, This Year, or All Time (the last option is set by default). Progress and achievements during the selected period are displayed in all the rating tables in the Leaderboard section. Dates are set according to the regional settings of the current site.

 

983.png

 

A maximum of 10 learners are displayed on the Leaderboard at a time. Users can see their own score at the bottom of the list, even if they aren't in the top 10.

If a user hasn't completed training, earned CEUs, or acquired certificates, the user can still see themselves at the bottom of the list, with 0 points next to their name.

NOTE   

  • If users have the same number of CEUs, the user who earned the most CEUs first is displayed at the top of the CEUs Earned rating table. Where the number of CEUs for the course or training plan is changed, the number of CEUs earned is updated after the training retake is completed.

  • If users have the same number of completed courses or training plans, the user who completed the most training first is displayed at the top of the Training Completed rating table.

  • Expired and deleted certificates aren't counted in the Certificate Acquired rating table.
