Added 

Added: Upload Training Certificate / Completion Number

Users can now enter a Certificate or Completion number after completing a training course. 

Details:

• We allow up to 32 alphanumerics
• We allow symbols: space, a hyphen, a long dash, #, underscore, period, /,
• This field can either be set as Optional or Required 

Optional: 

Required: 

The * indicates this field must have a Certificate/Completion Number entered. 

Where can you find it?

This Certification / Completion Number will appear under the Training > Completed Training under the worker and manager view.

Added: New User Type "Analyst"

We have added a new user type called "Analyst," where any user with this permission can access our LMI module, view statistics across the organization, and view and edit their profile only.

How to Access:

First, you must change an employee's user type, which can be accessed via the Employees module. 

Note: Only Admins or Owners can change a user type

Next, select "Analyst," followed by Save. 

Analyst View 

As an Analyst, the user will now have access to the following:

• Employee Analytics
• Labor Market Intelligence
• Positions Skill Match
• Analytics (If this module is enabled)

Improvements

Improvements: Career Path - "Enter Your Own" Position Options 

Currently, when a user creates a Career Path with the "Enter your own."
dropdown, it displays:

• Labor Market Positions/Titles
• Job Requisitions
• Enterprise Positions

There are scenarios where an organization may not want their employees to be able to build a Career Path beyond their open Job Requisitions or Enterprise positions.

To assist further, we have introduced a setting to control what is displayed from this list.

Owners can now determine which options they desire to have enabled.

Improvements: Apostrophes Allowed in Email Addresses

The ability to add a user or import users failed due to an apostrophe in an email address; we now accept this.

Added 

Added: Skill Specialization (Preview)

We have introduced a new Skill Specialization module that allows People Leaders to prioritize and manage skill development to build specific disciplines.

When building a Skill Specialization, the following details can be filled out:

* = Mandatory field 

• Name *
• Deadline Type * (No Deadlines, Custom Dates, End Date Only)
• Prerequisite
• Specialization Endorsement * (Automatic after completion of all learning activities
  HR assessment & endorsement, Manager assessment & endorsement or Specific user assessment & endorsement)
• Renewal (No renewal required, Quarterly, Semi-annually, Annually or Other)
• Description 

The Admin then adds skills. 

Before selecting Learning Activities, the Admin can set the Training Requirements and Approval Settings.

Once saved, the Admin can Edit the Training Plan and start building the Learning Activities for this Skill Specialization. 

When adding courses, all skills previously selected will be pre-populated. 

Once the Learning Activities have been added, and the Skill Specialization has been changed to Active, the Admin assigns a specialization to their direct reports, departments, or the entire enterprise.

 

 

Employees will then see what Learning Activities have been assigned and which skills they will be trained in. 

 

Under View Details, the user can view General Details, Focus Skills and the complete Learning Activities. 

 

Once an assigned Employee completes their Learning Activities, an Admin can now Endorse Specialization. 

Note: The type of Specialization Endorsement is selected when outlining the details of the Skill Specialization. 

 

Like the Managerial Assessment workflow, the Direct Managers and HR Admin can validate the employee's skills. 

Earned Specialization will be added to the Employee's profile along with who Endorsed these Focus Skills. 

Important Note: Please contact [e-mail] to learn more about Skill Specialization. We will be adding articles and videos to support you further. 

Added: Show Pending Skills Requests on Employee Profile

If the "Require Profile Edit Approval" setting has been enabled, employees will have a Profile Changes module from the left-hand menu.

If the employee has a pending request, a Pending Skill Request tab will appear in the skills section of their profile.

Note: Selecting View Request will take the user directly to the Profile Changes tab. 

To view the Pending Request, the user can click on the View Request option, which will take them directly to the Profile Changes tab.

Improvements

Improvements: Managers and Admins Can No Longer Assign Themselves Training

Previously, Managers and Admins could assign training to themselves within the Manager View, but we have removed this functionality.

For a Manager or Admin to request training, they must do so from their Employee View.

Note: Only Owners can assign training to themselves.
