27.  Check the Allow Reenrollments box to allow users to reenroll into this LearnTrack after having previously completed it. Any other restrictions on enrollment still apply.

Note: This box is displayed based on a Client Setup global setting. Contact your LearnFlex representative for more details.

This box must be checked to display the current LearnTrack as an option in the Renewal section below. If this LearnTrack is selected in the Renewal section, then the Allow Reenrollments box cannot be unchecked unless a different LearnTrack is selected for renewal.

When applicable in Advanced Group Registration, users who previously completed a LearnTrack with reenrollments allowed are displayed with a status of Completed/Reenroll.

The Auto Complete section is shown below:

Bundle_Management_Registration_-_AUTO_COMPLETE.png

Auto Complete Section

Use this section to indicate what should automatically happen to LearnTracks when they are completed and not completed within a certain time frame, and what status they will have in the user’s achievement record and transcript.

Note: This section is available by enabling security setting 720: Diploma Auto Completion.

28.  Use the set of option buttons to select one of:

·        Disabled: Indicates that LearnTracks will never be auto-completed. Registered users must explicitly complete the LearnTrack to achieve a user-defined status (selected below).

·        Expires: Indicates that any users registered in this LearnTrack will automatically have their status changed after a certain amount of time. If you select this option, you will need to complete additional information specified below.

29.  Use the Expires section to indicate the number and unit of time after which users’ status in the LearnTrack will automatically change to the status set below.

If the user does not take and complete the LearnTrack within this amount of time, the LearnTrack will move to their achievement record with a specific status (indicated below) if they do not complete it.

Blackout days are not considered in the calculation of expiry date.

30.  Use the LearnTrack Status on Expiry drop-down list to indicate what the status of the LearnTrack will be after the expiry date is met.

The expiry date for each user is calculated based on their registration date.

Note: You can configure statuses in this list from the Diploma Status module.

31.  Use the Set Not Completed Courses drop-down list to indicate if incomplete courses (courses without a passing grade) within the auto-completed LearnTrack should be removed from (Remove) or remain in (No Action) the user’s learning plan when that LearnTrack expires.

This applies to both optional and mandatory courses. The user will no longer be registered in those courses.

Courses will also be removed from the user’s transcript.

32.  Use the Set Not Completed Courses to drop-down list to indicate if incomplete courses (courses without a passing grade) within the auto-completed LearnTrack should be removed from (Remove) or remain in (No Action) the user’s learning plan.

The Renewal section is displayed:

Bundle_Management_Registration_-_RENEWAL.png

Note: This section only appears when you have security setting 821: Renewal enabled.

33.  Select the Disabled option button to disable the LearnTrack renewal functionality.

34.  Select the Expires option button to enable a trigger date for a followup LearnTrack.

Use this feature to specify the number of days or months after which users will be enrolled automatically into a followup LearnTrack if they successfully complete this one. The date of automatic enrollment into the subsequent LearnTrack is the number of days or months specified after registration in this LearnTrack.

35.  Use the Curriculum Group drop-down list to select a curriculum group that will have access to the LearnTrack enrollment.

36.  Use the LearnTrack drop-down list to select the secondary LearnTrack that will be enabled after the above selected number of days.

37.  Check the Override Job Position and Community validation box to remove the job position and community search filters from the LearnTrack drop-down list (above).

39.  Use the Master Course drop-down list to select the course that will be the master course.

This course can be used for registration purposes, and instructors of master courses can manage learners that are enrolled in both the master course and the reportable courses of a LearnTrack.

Any course specified in Achievement Requirements can be selected as a master course, though a course may be selected as the master course for a maximum of one LearnTrack.

Note: If the course has an assigned instructor, then an asterisk will be displayed in front of the course in the drop-down list.

40.  Check the Auto enroll in LearnTrack when Master Course is enrolled box to register users automatically in a LearnTrack when users are registered in the master course.

41.  In the Reportable Courses section, select those courses that will be reportable.

Users can see their enrollment in both the LearnTrack and course from their learning plan.

Administrators can view the users’ enrollments within the user profile.

Note 1: If a user’s enrollment in the course is Pending, (for example, because admin approval or manager approval is required), they will not be registered in that LearnTrack. Once approval is given, the user will automatically be enrolled.

Note 2: If they cancel a user from the course, an administrator will need to remove the LearnTrack and its components (sessions, courses, and/or LearnTracks) manually.

42.  Click Save to keep your changes.
