Assignment Summary Page

The Assignment Summary page provides administrators a central location for tracking and managing learning assignments. This page presents a high level view of the assignment, including the assignment configurations, how many users were assigned training, and a Transcript History section which includes:

  • An audit view of how and when training was delivered to users (via a new assignment, an old assignment, direct assignment from a manager, or via direct request from the user)
  • A detailed view of the training status and completion date
  • A flyout for viewing the history of any different occurrences of training for each user

To access the Assignment Summary page for a learning assignment, go to Admin > Tools > Learning > Learning Assignment Tool and click on the title of the learning assignment for which you want to view the Assignment Summary page.

General Information

In the top section of the Assignment Summary page, basic information about the creation and configuration of the assignment displays. The following general information is available:

  • Assignment Title - The title given to the learning assignment. Administrators with the permission to edit assignment titles can edit the titles of standard and dynamic assignments by clicking the Title field on the Assignment Summary page. This opens an inline editing pop-out window, and you can enter a different title for the assignment. To confirm and save the new title, click the green checkmark icon in the pop-out window. To discard the edits to the title field without saving, click the red X icon.
  • Active/Inactive - This toggle switch is only available for dynamic learning assignments. When toggled to the Active position, the assignment is active and continues to process at the frequency specified by the creator of the assignment. When toggled to the Off position, the assignment no longer processes, and no new users who meet the assignment's criteria are assigned the training.
    • Note: When the the Active/Inactive switch is toggled mid-dynamic assignment, the assignment stops processing. All users in the availability that were processed before toggling to "Off" will receive the assignment. For these users, use the Training Removal Tool to remove any assignments made in error.
    • Note: There may be up to a ten minute delay between inactivation and the termination of the assignment process.

  • Assignment Description - The description provided for the learning assignment.
  • Assignment ID - A unique, auto-generated ID code associated with the learning assignment.
  • Created Date - The date the learning assignment was submitted.
  • Created By - The system user who created the assignment.
  • Training - This field displays how many training items were selected in the learning assignment.
  • Assigned Users - This field displays how many users from the user criteria selected in the learning assignment meet the assignment's criteria.
  • Type - This field displays the learning assignment type (standard or dynamic).
  • Recurrence - This field only displays for dynamic learning assignments, and indicates whether recurrence is turned off or on for the learning assignment.
  • Status - This field only displays for standard learning assignments, and it displays the learning assignment's current status (i.e. Processed, Queued, or Cancelled). If the assignment is in a Queued status, a Stop Processing option is available. See the Stop Processing section in this help topic for more information.
  • Remove from Transcript - This option allows you to remove the training from the assignment from users' transcripts. See the section below for more information about this option.

Force Removal from Standard Assignments

For standard assignments, a Remove from Transcript button is available in the Processed section of the Assignment Summary page. Click the Remove from Transcript button to remove the training from the assignment from users' transcripts.

A pop-up appears, warning the administrator that this action cannot be undone. If the administrator clicks the Remove from Transcript button in the pop-up, the training will be removed from users' transcripts and the assignment can no longer be activated again. If the administrator decides not to remove the training, they can click the Cancel button to return to the Assignment Summary page.

When the administrator clicks the Remove from transcript button, the process to remove the assignment's training from users' transcripts begins. This process may take several hours to complete, depending on how many users were included in the assignment.

The time and date on which the Remove from transcript button was clicked is recorded in the Modification History section of the Assignment Summary page.

Remove from Transcript Considerations

The following considerations apply to this functionality:

  • If learners were assigned or requested the training separately, the training may not be removed from their transcript until that learner meets the removal criteria of all assignments.
  • This option applies to all learners in the assignment. Individual learners cannot be included or excluded.

Stop Processing

When a standard learning assignment is submitted by an administrator, the assignment queues and processes. It may take several minutes for the assignment's training to be assigned to all the users selected for the assignment. During this time, it is possible to stop the assignment from processing, if required. When processing is stopped, the assignment immediately stops assigning the training to any users who have not yet received the training.

To stop a standard learning assignment from processing:

  1. Click the title of the processing assignment from the Manage Assignments page. You will be navigated to the Assignment Summary page.
  2. In the Queued widget, click the Stop Processing link. This link is only available if the assignment is currently processing. A Stop Processing pop-up appears.
  3. Confirm that you want to stop the processing by clicking the Stop button. Processing will be immediately stopped, and no more users will receive the training. If you do not wish to stop the processing, you can click the Cancel button in the pop-up instead.

Note: The Stop Processing option is only available for standard learning assignments.

Training Progress

In the Training Progress section, status information about the training assigned via the learning assignment displays.

  • Training Progress drop-down menu - From this drop-down menu, you can choose a specific training item or all training items, for which graphical progress data will display. Note: Training types that support versioning will have the Version Number appended to the training title in the drop-down. Sessions will have the Locator Number appended to the training title in the drop-down. This list of training correlates to the training listed in the Transcript History. It represents that training that was assigned to the user.
  • Training Progress chart - This chart displays a breakdown of how much training is in each possible training status (Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Other). Refer to the Training Progress key to see which colors represent which training status. The total number of transcript records for the selected training title(s) displays in the center of the chart.
  • Training Progress key - This color-coded key provides a numeric breakdown of how many transcript records selected training item(s) are in each status. The colors correlate with the Training Progress chart colors.
  • Total is the number of learners who have the training present in the transcript.

Removal Settings

Administrators can turn Dynamic Removal on and off in the Removal Settings section, along with Dynamic Removal sub options.

Note that any changes in the Removal Settings, with the exception of Force Removal from Assignment/Transcript, only apply to users who fall out of the assignment availability after the settings are updated. Users who have already left the availability prior to updating the settings will not be impacted by the new settings.

The following options are available in the Removal Settings section of the Assignment Summary page:

  • Dynamic Removal - This field only is only editable if the dynamic learning assignment is active. It displays whether dynamic removal is currently turned on or off for the assignment. You can toggle the switch to the on or off position to enable or disable dynamic removal for the assignment.
  • Remove In Progress Training - Toggling this option to the On position enables the removal of in-progress training from users' transcripts if the users are removed from the assignment via dynamic removal. If users who have been assigned the training no longer meet the assignment criteria, the training in this assignment will be removed from their transcripts whether it is not started or in progress (or equivalent statuses).
  • Remove Child LOs - Toggling this option to the On position allows child LOs of an assigned curriculum to also be removed from a user's transcript if the curriculum is removed from the user's transcript via dynamic removal. If there is no curriculum selected for an assignment, this option is not visible.
  • Force Removal from Assignment/Transcript - A Remove button is visible under the Force Removal from Assignment/Transcript field to users with the appropriate permission. If the assignment is dynamic, the Remove button is grayed out and is not clickable if the dynamic assignment is currently active. To use the Remove button, deactivate the assignment by toggling the Active switch in the upper-right corner of the Assignment Summary page to the Inactive position. This step is not necessary for standard assignments.
    • When the assignment is inactive, the Remove button is clickable. To remove the training from the assignment from users' transcripts, click the Remove button.

A pop-up appears, warning the administrator that this action cannot be undone. If the administrator clicks the Remove button in the pop-up, the training will be removed from users' transcripts and the assignment can no longer be activated again. If the administrator decides not to remove the training, they can click the Cancel button to return to the Assignment Summary page.

When the administrator clicks the Remove button, the process to remove the assignment's training from users' transcripts begins. This process may take several hours to complete, depending on how many users were included in the assignment.

The time and date on which the Remove button was clicked is recorded in the Modification History section of the Assignment Summary page.

Note: If the administrator accessing the Assignment Summary page does not have permission to manage dynamic removal settings, these fields are read-only.

Remove from Transcript Considerations

The following considerations apply to this functionality:

  • If learners were assigned or requested the training separately, the training may not be removed from their transcript until that learner meets the removal criteria of all assignments.
  • This option applies to all learners in the assignment. Individual learners cannot be included or excluded.
  • Dynamic assignments cannot be reactivated again after training has been removed.

Re-assignment Settings

The following configurable fields in the Re-assignment Settings widget only display for dynamic learning assignments:

Dynamic Re-assignment - This field is only editable if the dynamic learning assignment is active. It displays whether dynamic reassignment is currently turned On or Off for the assignment. You can toggle the switch to the On or Off position to enable or disable dynamic reassignment for the assignment. See Dynamic Reassignment - Assignment Summary Page.

Re-assign Latest Version - This field is only editable if the dynamic assignment is active and Dynamic Re-assignment is On. It displays whether or not users will be upgraded to the latest version of training upon reassignment. You can toggle the switch to the on or off position to enable or disable upgrading users to latest version upon reassignment for the assignment.
