Overview of the course/training plan progress dashboard
The charts of the dashboard contains the following information:
- Number of learners that are currently enrolled in the training.
- Number of learners that have ever completed the training.
- Average training rating (is calculated as an average of all received (not hidden) ratings).
- Percentage of the current learners that have Completed, In Progress, Not Started, and Overdue statuses.
- The Download Report - Excel File button enables you to download an Excel sheet with data on the course/training plan progress that includes more details about the enrolled learners.
Click the expand button of Summary of Progress for Selected Course/Training Plan to expand or collapse the summary information.
Below the charts, you can find information about the progress of learners who are currently enrolled in the course or training plan in the following columns:
- Name – Name of enrolled learners.
- Status – Learner’s completion status: Not Started, In Progress, or Completed. For more information on the learner's completion status, please visit this guide.
- CEUs – Positive or decimal number of CEUs earned for the training completion (if set).
- Progress – Learner’s progress with the training in percentage.
- Score – Learner’s average score of the learning items required for the training completion.
- Completed – The date the learner has completed the training. There are two possible types of the completion date: 1) To set the exact date manually by editing learners in the course/training plan progress. 2) The date will be set automatically after the learner has completed the training.
- Certificate – Learner’s certificate (if a certificate is achieved)
Select the Reload icon to update to view the latest version of the course/training plan progress dashboard.
The search field allows you to search for specific users.
Selecting the different columns, you can sort the information.
NOTE
Users will be filtered by username set in the Azure AD, not by first or last name.
The All Course Sessions drop-down filter allows you to sort learners’ details by course sessions for the Instructor-Led Training with the Enroll user into a single course session enrollment type.
To see details on a learner's progress on each learning item of the course, select the expand button next to the learner’s name. Items required for course completion are marked with the star icon.
IMPORTANT
- Course progress is calculated according to the course completion set with the highest progress percentage.
- Once there is more than one completion set, the Required for Completion icon in the dashboard will depend on the learner's progress for the required items and be shown for the completion set that the user has the highest progress percentage for.
For example, if there are 2 course completion sets:-
- Set 1 with the required items 1 and 2.
- Set 2 with the required items 3 and 4.
Let the learner's progress for required items for set 1 be 50 %, for set 2 - 70%. As the progress for set 2 (70%) is higher than the progress for set 1 (50 %), the Required for Completion icon will be shown next to the required items from set 2.
Once the learner's progress for the required items changes, the icon will change accordingly.
-
- When you set the course completion manually, Progress and Score values will automatically be set to 0%.
Managing capabilities of the course/training plan progress view
Beside providing metrics on the progress of courses and training plans, the course/training plan progress view also provides the following options to manage learners' progress:
- Edit learners' progress and change the completion status.

When you enable the Completed toggle to Yes, you will see a Completion Date field where you are allowed to manually set the date (by default it shows your current date) and a CEUs field where you can edit the number of CEUs earned by the learner (by default it shows the number of CEUs granted according to the course settings).
Select Save to save changes or close the sidebar to discard them.
