General Due Date Enhancements

Prior to this enhancement, when learners missed their due dates for the assigned training, it resulted in past due instances causing compliance gaps and inconsistencies.

This enhancement provides consistent due date calculations across different use cases so that the learners do not miss the due date for the training and remain compliant.

How Does this Enhancement Benefit My Organization?

  • The administrators can maintain overall compliance by ensuring that the learners do not become past due for training.
  • The managers can track and report on the due date of the Training efficiently, ensuring compliance for their subordinates.
  • The learners do not become past due by missing the due date to complete the assigned training.

Implementation

This functionality is automatically enabled for all organizations using the Learning module.
