Click here to download the list of Reporting 2.0 field descriptions, updated May 2022. This Excel spreadsheet provides descriptions for the fields in Reporting 2.0. This list is updated when there are changes to existing fields or new fields are added. Currently, the list is in English only. Note that it may be necessary to scroll through the sheets on the Excel spreadsheet in order to access the first sheet.
The Subject report type is available for Reporting 2.0, which includes fields that allow administrators to report on learning subjects. The Subject report contains three sets of fields:
- Subject Fields - Set of fields which describe subjects
- Subject User Fields - Set of user fields which describe users who have saved the subject to their Universal Profile
- Subject Training Fields - Set of training fields associated with the subject
To have access to the fields in all three field sets, enable the Reporting 2.0 permissions for each set.
