How to follow up on training progress

about 10 minutes

After you build a training course, you must check that staff finish it. Each course shows its progress, and its history page lists who finished each item and when. Use these tools to set a deadline, follow up, and keep the course up to date.

Before you start

To build a new course, see training and glossary.

Step 1 — Open Training

Click Training in the left menu. Each course shows a progress bar and a count, for example 0 of 2. This count is the number of finished items out of all items.

Step 12 — Check the updated course

The new item shows as 2.2 Weekly safety walk in Office rules. The progress count changes to 1 of 3, because the course now has one more item. The changes stayed after a page reload.

Tips

  • When you add an item, the total in the progress count goes up. Tell staff when you add new items.
  • The course list shows the due date, so you can see deadlines without opening each course.
  • If a policy in the course is archived, the course shows “This item is no longer available”. Restore the policy to show it again. See manage policies.
  • The due date stays after a page reload. Clear due date appears only after you set a date.
