We suggest using this when you need to assign training to learners by location and/or by their job roles.
It allows you to search for learner groups by name and assign the relevant training content.
Step 1: There are two ways to create an assignment:
Navigate to the MANAGE tab, click MANAGE ASSIGNMENTS and click CREATE ASSIGNMENT.
OR
Navigate to the HOME tab and click CREATE ASSIGNMENT.
Step 2: Select "Groups".
Search and select the learner group(s) you would like to create the assignment for and click NEXT.
Step 3: Search or select the course(s) and/or Learning Path(s) the learner(s) need to complete and click NEXT.
Content can be dragged and dropped to create a specific learning order
Step 4: Configure the automation settings (optional) and add a deadline (optional) and click NEXT.
Auto-assign
By default, all group assignments will auto-assign to new learners that join the audience criteria for the assignment. This behaviour can be disabled by adding a date that will stop auto-assigning the assignment to new learners.
Note: When a stop date is not specified, we suggest that you use a time span deadline to avoid future learners from receiving an assignment with a deadline that has passed.
Deadline
- Time span: a user must complete the training within a certain time span of receiving it
- Specific date: a user must complete the training by a specific date
- No deadline: there is no urgency in completing the training.
Reassign Courses
Select this option if there are learners who have previously completed the selected courses, that need to retake them.
