From the Skills Menu, choose Assign Learners. Here is where
you may add, edit or delete profile records. Remember that each combination of
learner and Skill Group is represented by one record on the skills table.
When you first click on the Assign Learners button, you will
be presented with a list of existing profiles as illustrated below:
Click on the "Assign Skill Groups" button. A
separate window will open for you to add the new record. Select from the
various filters listed, or simply click the “Choose Skill Group” button to
proceed to the next page. Next, select from the list of available Skill Groups,
and then check next to the student(s) that require a skill. Finally, click on
the “Submit” button. To remove a student from the list, simply un-check the box
next to the student you wish to remove.
Warning Days: FlexTraining contains a feature that
automatically notifies a learner and/or the system administrator (via e-mail)
when a Skill Group that a student has not completed approaches its deadline.
“Warning Days” defines how far ahead of the “Next Required Date” the warning
message is sent.
Next Required Date: The date you enter here in (mm/dd/yyyy
format) sets a deadline for completion of the Skill Group for this learner.
For example, if you set the deadline to December 30, 2008, and you have set the
"Warning Days" field to 10, the student (or administrator) may start
to receive warning messages on December
20, 2008.
Editing a skill is very similar to adding one, except that
instead of adding a new profile, you are modifying an existing one.
