Let’s dive into a deeper training pool with Learnforce’s Portal Dashboard changes.

What’s new – Summary

• The Portal Dashboard now includes Classroom and External Training.

• We’ve also enhanced the My Current Learning section, which now:
  • highlights upcoming and overdue Online, External, and Classroom training.
  • spotlights up to six training courses at a time, double the previous three.
  • brings each course to life with richer detail and a thumbnail image.
• And we’ve added a new Filter option that lets admins and managers sort by Training Type.
   

Classroom and External Training join the Dashboard

The Portal Dashboard is the central tool for Online Training information, requirements, and management. As of this release, the Dashboard expands its scope to include two additional Training Types:

1. Classroom Training Sessions.
2. External Training Records.

Collating these three Training Types onto one platform gives everyone a reliable place to find their training information.
 

Your Training

Everyone needs access to their training, even admins. That’s why every user’s Dashboard includes My Current Learning. The training requirements listed here belong to the logged-in user. It’s a section available to all and personalized for one.

 - Here are the changes we've made to this section.
 

New Name

We’ve renamed the Your learning progress section to My Current Learning. The new name better reflects the upcoming and overdue training requirements highlighted in this section. A clearer name helps users spot what needs their attention, which makes it easier to keep training on track.
 

Three Training Types

Overdue and upcoming Online Training, Classroom Training, and External Training requirements can now appear in the My Current Learning section of the Dashboard. Previously, only Online Training could appear here.
 

A Six Course Spotlight

We’ve expanded the content and volume of the training spotlight. Your overdue or due soon training appears here when it meets certain requirements. Here is how it’s increased and improved:

• The Dashboard now puts up to six training courses in the spotlight, double the previous three, highlighting more of your overdue and due soon training.
• Each course listed in this section includes a button that lets the user either start, resume, or view details about the course. The button shown depends on the Training Type:
  • the Start and Resume buttons are for Online Training.
  • the View Details button is available for Classroom and External Training.
• An image now appears against the training requirement to represent the course. The image is gathered from the course when one is available. If no image is available, the system uses a generic image, chosen based on keywords.
• Clicking the name of the training will:
  • launch an Online course.
  • navigate the user to the External Training Record.
  • open the Course Details page for the Classroom Training Session. 

The Manager Dashboard

To give managers visibility across all three Training Types for their team, the My Team’s Learning Progress section of the Dashboard now includes Classroom Training sessions and External Training Records. This makes it easier to track progress and provides the manager with a more inclusive overview of their team’s training. 

The My Team’s Learning Progress section also includes a new Filter Option called Training Types, which lets the manager filter training results by Online Training, Classroom Training, and/or External Training. More than one type can be chosen when using this filter. 

The Site Admin Dashboard

The Site Administrator Dashboard includes an All Accounts' Learning Progress section. We’ve updated it to include all three Training Types. It also incorporates all other feature improvements provided under the Manager Dashboard (as outlined above).

Reminders, Records, and Exports

Classroom and External Training records can now be included when collating training data and emailing learners via the Dashboard. The following features have been expanded so that all three Training Types can be included:

• Send Reminder.
• Send Records.
• Export CSV.
