Supplemental Training
Download ManualThis feature is available to Site Manager and Manager accounts depending on system configuration.
Introduction
The supplemental training feature lets you store and track records for content that is not offered within the system. You can also upload supporting documents to each user’s training record, track associated costs, and use automatic email alerts to let users know when their training is expiring. Any number of supplemental training records can be added to a user’s profile and then edited, deleted, and reported upon.
Training Record Reports
- R403 is a dedicated external training report report.
- R404 is a dedicated internal training report report.
- The Supplemental Training page itself can be filtered and exported as R906.
Create or Edit Training Records
There are multiple methods for creating new supplemental training records. Select the applicable method below.
Internal training records are those that can be associated with exiting content in the system. For example, a WHMIS course is available on the system, but your Health and Safety officer needs additional training that is performed outside of the LMS. You can add several training records to the same product. As you enter each record, the most recent update will appear on top while a history of each record update appears below.
