Enhancements to the Manager Ability to Remove Directly Assigned Training

During the October '21 release, the ability for managers to remove training they assigned to a user from the user's transcript was made available. However, if the training the manager had assigned was versioned between when they assigned it and when they attempted to remove the training, it was not possible for the manager to remove the training from the user's transcript.

With the May '22 release, managers can remove training they assigned to a user from the user's transcript even if the training was versioned after the manager assigned it, or even if the training has multiple registration numbers since its initial assignment, if all registrations were from the training being directly-assigned or self-requested. If previous registrations were from the Learning Assignment Tool or an administrator assignment, managers will not be able to remove the training. This functionality was made available with some limitations in Stage with the February '22 release, and it will be available in both Stage and Production with the May '22 release.

Considerations

• Training CAN be removed from the transcript by a manager even after the training has been versioned. This behavior applies to training versioned with Replace versioning and to training versioned with Append versioning.
• Training CAN be removed by a manager even after having multiple version numbers. If a training item's version number is incremented, this does not prevent the user from self-removing the training.

Implementation

This functionality is automatically available in portals using the Learning module. Access to the ability to remove directly-assigned training is controlled by the Remove Training - Directly Assigned permission.
