V5 – Creating a Simple Training Path

Hello and welcome to eLeaP. In this video, we will take a look at the training path called simple. As the name suggests is simple training path is well simply a collection of courses. The courses can be placed in a particular order but it don’t have to be completed in that order. As simple training path would typically be courses that are related to each other and that would not necessarily have any rules pertaining to [00:00:30] how they should be completed or even whatever dates they get triggered. Uh, so to create a simple training path, what you want to do is go to your training path’s tab, click add new training path and create a simple training path.

Uh, the description here, uh, as appropriate. Now you don’t, you don’t have to add a description, but it is [00:01:00] certainly recommended. Okay. I’ll probably use necessarily here you go, I’m just changing my words. All right, so, um, add a description. If you want to certainly can use HTML if you like, um, you can suddenly activate or deactivate a train path at this point. Uh, we typically ask that you be careful when activating or deactivating because once you start assigning this stuff, you want to make sure that they are ready to go. And then of course select the type. So on we are leaving it as a simple training path. Click on that [00:01:30] and the training path that you just created arrives here at a top. So of course if we want to add courses to it, as you can see there are no courses in this training path.

Just click right here where it says add new courses. And now you have a list of all your courses that you’ve created in your account. And of course if you wanted to, for example, um, segment by course category, you can do that. If you want to go by a name, you can also do that, but you just checked a box next to the course you want to add and click add, selected. And now we have three courses added to the training path. [00:02:00] And that cool. You can definitely reorder them. So, for example, if I wanted a second course to go back up, I can do the same thing. If I wanted the third course to be the one at the very top, use the arrow options to move courses around. If you are ready to assign your course, simply use the assignment option.

Now before we do that though, I’m going to go back to my training path and just make sure everything looks okay. Here it is right here. I’m going to go ahead and activate it. Um, and everything looks fine. And so I’ll go to my assigned [00:02:30] users tab there, click assign new users. And all I need to do is to find whoever I need to assign this to and I can assign it to them by clicking add selected. And that’s it. If I want it to assign to a group, I simply go to my assigned user groups tab. And again, find a particular user group that you want to assign it to and click add, selected. And that’s it. Now your training path would, uh, stay active. And of course you can assign it to folks and you can always update your training path. But just know this [00:03:00] if you add courses in your training path, the system is going to send an email alert to all users that have been assigned to it to let them know that the training path has changed, right?

So if I go in and add as business management 101 into it, what are we going to do is add, send an email alert to all the users that have been assigned to it to let them know, well, you’ve got a new course assigned to your training path, you’ve got a new course added to training path. So you need to be aware of that. So that’s our way of ensuring that additions and edits and subtractions through [00:03:30] training path are being, um, catered to. And certainly, uh, we inform end users of the additions that are happening. So if you have any questions about simple training path, please feel free to contact us.
