Knowledge Revision Date If a resource undergoes a revision, a knowledge assessment question should be added to test learners on the content of the change.  Once this is done, setting the knowledge revision date will turn the knowledge component to red for those Learners who had previously completed the knowledge assessment.  After setting this date, the SME has the option of sending a message to these learners - apprising them of the change.  This message is sent to the learners' inbox (the one that has been entered in the employee profile).

Capability Revision Date If a resource undergoes a revision, a capability assessment action may be added to test learners on the content of the change.  Once this is done, setting the capability revision date will turn the capability component to red for those Learners who had previously completed the Capability Assessment.  After setting this date, the SME has the option of sending a message to these Learners - apprising them of the change.  This message is sent to the Learners' inbox (the one that has been entered in the employee profile).

Has Knowledge Component "When a Task is initially entered into the system, it contains neither a Knowledge nor a Capability Assessment.  To acquire a particular understanding of a Task, you must either complete a theoretical component (Knowledge) or a practical component (Capability).  Once you have added the appropriate resources, and the corresponding Knowledge or Capability Assessment, this property must be set to Yes in order to put the component online.

A Task with neither a Knowledge nor a Capability component appears grey." Yes

Has Capability Component "When a Task is initially entered into the system, it contains neither a Knowledge nor a Capability Assessment.  To acquire a particular understanding of a Task, you must either complete a theoretical component (Knowledge) or a practical component (Capability).  Once you have added the appropriate resources, and the corresponding Knowledge or Capability Assessment, this property must be set to Yes in order to put the component online.

Feb 2001 - Task Created

March 2001 - Resource ""X"" Added

March 2001 - Knowledge Assessment Added

May 2001 - Capability Assessment Added, etc."

Knowledge Duration Setting "In the 7.x series of TRACCESS, duration was simply measured in days, and meant that once someone completed a component, they had XX number of days to recertify on the component.

In CI, this is still the case, but an SME is also able to indicate a fixed date duration at which time the Task will expire.

On a single component, either number of days or fixed date duration can be used - but on a Task, there can be a number of days duration on one component, and a fixed date duration on the other." None

Course Resource

Name New Course Resource

Description This is an optional field whose text can be used to search for a particular Course.

Provides Capability Course Resources are generally created for external courses, or those that are not completed within TRACCESS.  Specific courses are meant to provide different objectives.  For example, a Chemicals Handling course would undoubtedly cover a practical or hands-on component, and would therefore Provide Capability.

Provides Knowledge Course Resources are generally created for external courses, or those that are not completed within TRACCESS.  Specific courses are meant to provide different objectives.  For example, a Alcohol and Drug Awareness course would undoubtedly cover a theoretical component, and would therefore Provide Knowledge.

Category None

Sub Category None

Pass Mark

Course Code

Details

Employee

First Name This is a fairly self-explanatory field.  It has not been set as a mandatory field when creating a New Employee for cultural reasons.

Last Name

Employee ID This is the "login ID", or that which is used to enter TRACCESS.  You will often require this, along with a password in order to enter the system.  For this reason, the Employee ID must be unique to distinguish between individuals.

Password  When viewing the Password field from the Properties of the Organization Manager, it is viewed as *****.  This will appear the same for everyone.  To reset someone's password, click on the arrow to the right of the field, and either delete the ***s that appear, or assign a simple password, and set the Must Change Password for this Employee to Yes.

Email Address "An Employee's email address is important for several features of TRACCESS CI to function correctly.  This address can either be a corporate email address, or a personal email address.

The following functions depend on email to operate properly:

Scheduling - Activity Email Milestones

Knowledge/ Capability Revisions - receiving messages from a supervisor

Events - being told to login to TRACCESS when a Task is about to elapse

Messaging - receiving general messages from Supervisors, Operational Administrators, SMEs, or System Owners

Feedback - receiving messages from Learners if you are their Supervisor or a Task Owner"

Default Language "If your system has been set up with pass-through authentication (you do not see the login screen.  After logging in to the network, you can access TRACCESS by clicking on the appropriate icon.  In order for the system to know which language to open for you, each Employee's default language must be set.

By default, this is set to English, and will not matter unless your installation contains languages in addition to English." English

Employee Number If your company uses employee numbers, you can make use of this field.  It can subsequently be used to sort information using an advanced search or it can be specified in reports.

Picture This is the only image field. (none)

Account Status "This field can either be active or inactive.  Most of your current employees would be set as active.  An inactive account was designed to be used for employees that are currently on leave, but intending to return.  An example of this would be maternity leave or short-term disability.

The purpose of making someone inactive is to prevent their names from showing up on reports during their absense.

Some companies may have used this field to indicate people who are no longer with the company, with no intentions of returning.  In this case, TTG suggests using the Archive functionality - that removes those employees from your Org structure, with the possibility of restoring their records if/ when required." Active

Can Change Password In certain cases, a particular employee may be prone to losing their password.  If so, the Supervisor or Operational Administrator may wish to set this field to No, keeping a copy of their password.  When the password is lost, they simply have to contact their manager to retrieve it. Yes

Must Change Password "When an Employee is first created in the system, a checkbox at the botton of the New Employee dialog sets this field to Yes.

Once this Employee changes their password, this field automatically resets to No, and they will not be required to change their password at the subsequent login." No

Password Duration "Certain companies have chosen to synchronize the change of their network password with the change of a TRACCESS password.  This can be accomplished using this field.

Please Note:  Since employees may not login to TRACCESS on a daily basis, the ""timer"" is reset when the employee changes their password - not on a particular date.  It may be difficult to completely synchronize network password changes with TRACCESS password changes." 0

Failed Login Attempts When an Employee logs in to TRACCESS, if there has been a failed login attempt, they will receive a message stating as much after they successfully login.  In most cases, this will be obvious.  ("Oh yeah, I kept typing my password wrong" &ldots; or &ldots; "I was using my previous password").  However, if this is not the case, and the error message still appears, you may wish to see who has been attempting to login under your Employee ID. 0

Last Successful Login In most cases, this field is used by supervisors or operational administrators.  They may wish to see who has been using the system and when they were in the system last.

Account Created On This date is automatically generated by the system when a new Employee is created.  It will always appear as Read-Only.

Password Changed Date This is the last date that the employee's password was changed.

Maximum Reports Override Each employee is allowed to keep XX number of generated reports - not to be confused with Report Templates that are unlimited.  By default, this number is 10 and is set in the System Options/ Reports tab.  For the majority of Employees (who are Learners and only have access to self reports), this value should be sufficient.  However, for certain members of management who are charged with generating frequent reports, you may wish to assign a number in this field.  This means that they have access to the default number, plus this value. 0

Primary Process "If a Learner is not assigned a Primary Process, all of the Processes that they have access to through their Organization Unit assignments appear in My Job in a flat list.

If a Learner is assigned a Primary Process, this Process will be indicated with a different icon, and the Process will appear expanded in the context view, or the right side, of the screen."

Preferred Paper Type "To accommodate for all regions of the world, each employee can have their preferred paper type set.

If your company is located in a region that uses A4, you may wish to reset the default paper type in the Object Definitions to A4." 8 1/2 x 11, A4

Employee/ Task Relationship

Qualification Status

Priority "A high priority task is indicated with a red underline.  A high priority task is person-specific, and not task-specific.  In other words, a task may be high priority for some, and not for others.

Please note:  Although you are able to set a Task as high priority for an entire Organization Unit, this does not mean that the high priority property has been set on the Organization Unit.  It simply tags all current members of the group.  Any new member that is added to the Organization Unit after the high priority has been set will come in as normal priority." "Normal

High"

Capability Qualification Date "This is the date that the Learner ""qualified"" or completed the capability component.  This date can be set in several ways:

 - by the Learner     - passing the final assessment in a SCORM resource, that was set to Provide Capability

 - by the Supervisor - completing a Capability Assessment

 - by the Supervisor - setting a satisfactory course mark, for a course resource that was set to Provides Capability

 - by the Supervisor - manually ""granting a pass"", using the Set Qualification Dates function

 - by the Supervisor - importing historical Learning Records of previous training"

Knowledge Qualification Date "This is the date that the Learner ""qualified"" or completed the knowledge component.  This date can be set in several ways:

 - by the Learner     - passing a final assessment

 - by the Learner     - passing the final assessment in a SCORM resource, that was set to Provide Knowledge

 - by the Supervisor - setting a satisfactory course mark, for a course resource that was set to Provides Knowledge

 - by the Supervisor - manually ""granting a pass"", using the Set Qualification Dates function

 - by the Supervisor - importing historical Learning Records of previous training"

Capability Assessed By This is the name of the employee who signed off on the Capability component.

Capability Attempts This is the number of times that the Capability Assessment was submitted by the Supervisor. 0

Knowledge Assessed By This is the name of the employee who signed off on the Knowledge component.  If the Learner entered the system and passed the Final Assessment, the Learner's name appears here.  If the Supervisor set the Knowledge component as complete for the Learner, the Supervisor's name appears here.

Knowledge Final Assessment Attempts This is the number of times that a Learner took to pass the Final Assessment.  In previous versions of TRACCESS, if a Learner became locked out of their Final Assessment, the Supervisor would have to reset their assessment attempts, making this number inaccurate.  Now, all attempts made by the Learner will be recorded - regardless of locking themselves out of the test. 0

Capability Last Attempted Date This is the last date that the Supervisor submitted the Capability Assessment for the Learner (whether it was successful or not)

Knowledge Last Attempted Date This is the last date that the Learner submitted a Final Assessment to be graded (whether it was successful or not)

Knowledge Elapse Date If there is a duration on the  component, and the component has been completed (but is not yet elapsed), the system will automatically calculate the date that the component will elapse - based on the duration value.

Capability Elapse Date If there is a duration on the  component, and the component has been completed (but is not yet elapsed), the system will automatically calculate the date that the component will elapse - based on the duration value.

Knowledge Last Online Assessment % This is the last mark obtained (or recorded by a Supervisor) for a Learner on the Knowledge component. 0

Name This is the name of the Task.

Number of Extra Final Assessment Retries If the Learner is locked out of the Final Assessment (they have tried the Final Assessment the maximum number of attempts for that Task, and still been unsuccessful), the Supervisor can grant them a certain number of extra final assessment attempts.  This will affect the value in the Knowledge Final Assessment Attempts field by recording the original maximum number as well as the number of attempts required for successful completion. 0

Times Chosen

Knowledge Assessment

Order If you wish to have an assessment whose questions are presented in a particular order, your setting must be set to Static.  If not, your questions will appear in alphabetical order in the Knowledge Assessment Editor tree, and be randomized when presented. "Random

Static"

# of Practice Assessment Questions The number of questions that Learners will see on their Practice Assessment.  You may wish to exclude questions (or show less questions) on the Practice Assessment than the Final Assessment, to ensure that the Learners know the material. 0

# of Final Assessment Questions The number of questions that Learners will see on their Final assessment.  You may wish to exclude questions (or show less questions) on the Practice Assessment than the Final Assessment, to ensure that the Learners know the material. 0

Allow Assessment to be Saved By default, this is set to No.  It is up to the SME's discretion whether or not an assessment is allowed to be saved.  If you have a test with a single question, you may wish to leave this set as No.  If you have several questions on the test, you may wish to change this to Yes.  If you do allow an assessment to be saved, ensure that you set a Saved Assessment Expiry Time - so that saved assessments do not remain valid for long periods of time. No

Online "A knowledge assessment is online when the SME is satisfied that it is ready to be presented to Learners.

To put a knowledge assessment online:

- you should try the assessment to make sure that it works properly

- you must have at least one possible question for both Practice and Final assessments

- you must set the Task/ Has Knowledge Component to Yes

If an SME wished to take an assessment offline afterwards, and a Learner is currently accessing the assessment, the SME will receive a message stating that it cannot be taken offline until all Learners are no longer accessing the assessment."

Last Modified This is the last date that any changes were made to the assessment by an SME.

Saved Assessment Expiry Time This the number of hours that a saved assessment will remain valid after a Learner has saved it.  If the Learner only accessed their saved assessment after this time has elapsed, clicking on the Saved Assessment link will present an error message stating that the time has expired, and the link is no longer valid. 0

Correctness Rule TRACCESS CI is able to create Multiple Choice and Multiple Response questions.  Multiple Choice questions are defined as having only one correct answer.  Multiple Response questions are defined as having more that one correct answer.  When creating Multiple Response questions, first change the Answer Style field to Checkbox, then change this field to All Correct Answers Required. "One Correct Answer Required

All Correct Answers Required"

Answer Style Any question that is Radio select can only have one correct answer.  Any question that is Checkbox may have multiple correct answers.  Therefore, to create Multiple Response questions, you must select the Answer Style as Checkbox. "Radio Select

Checkbox"

Times Asked "The Times Asked, Times Correctly Answered and Times Unanswered fields are used to troubleshoot a question.  If several learners are becoming locked out on a particular Task, you may wish to look at these fields for each of the questions on the assessment.  If there is a particular question whose ratio of Times Correctly Answered to Times Asked is particularly low, you may consider revising the question.  In some cases, the question may have the incorrect answer, it may be poorly worded or confusing, etc.  Also, the question may not coincide with the content in the resources.

If you do find that you must revise a question, click the Clear Statistics button to clear these three fields."

Naming conventions are especially useful in the case of Tasks and Resources.  These are the only two objects that can be shared in the system (in other words, they both have an Add/ Remove list that allows you to select one that appears elsewhere in the system)." Task

Description

Knowledge Revision Date "Setting the Knowledge/ Capability Revision Date is the last step to revising a Task.  Normally, a revision does not occur unless a Resource has changed.  If a resource has changed, the new resource must be saved and attached to the Task, questions or actions must be added to the Knowledge and Capability assessments respectively, an item can be added to the Task note explaining the change, and then the Dates can be set.

After selecting a date with the Calendar and clicking OK, the Task Revision Notification Message appears.  This dialog is completely EDITABLE!  Add your own comments, and send the message.  This message should only go to those learners who have previously completed the Task (and is still black).  They will also be notified of the change in their My Job Summary section of the TRACCESS Today screen the next time they login to TRACCESS."

Capability Revision Date

Has Knowledge Component By default, when you first add a Task to the system, it will be white.  However, you may wish to change these settings to Has Knowledge/ Capability Component to No, and this way the Task will be grey (or under construction).  This way, you will know that you still have to add the assessment components as long as the Task is grey. No, Yes

Has Capability Component No, Yes

Task Notes "This is an RTF field that can be used as a bulletin board of all of the changes that have happened to a Task.  For example:

Mar 21, 2006  Task Created

Mar 25, 2006  Resources Added

June 1, 2006  Knowledge Assessment Added

Jan 30, 2007  Resources Revised/ Knowledge Assessment Questions Modified/ Knowledge Revision Date Set"

Has SCORM Resource No

Knowledge Duration Setting The Knowledge/ Capability Duration Settings are not linked, although their overall functionality is the same.  This dialog allows you to select from one of three options:  No Duration, Number of Days Duration, and Fixed Date Duration.  The values in the Knowledge and Capability fields can be the same, but they can also be completely different. None

Capability Duration Setting None

Credits As with High School or Post Secondary Courses, you may attribute a credit value to each of the Tasks in the system.  A person is attributed that number of credits based on a completion status.

ASSESS ID "If your installation includes a license for Perception QuestionMark (ASSESS), you can choose to attach a Resource Assessment to a TRACCable Resource.  This way, instead of simply clicking on a Mark as Complete button to turn the TRACCable Resource icon black, the Learner will have to successfully complete a written assessment.

Please Note:  If you choose to attach an assessment at the resource level, they will not only have to complete the assessment here, but also at the Task level.  Completion of this assessment will NOT turn the top half of your Task black.  Therefore, even if you do have a license for Perception QuestionMark, you may choose not to attach assessments at the resource level."

ASSESS URL This is the address of the Perception QuestionMark database.  It will have the format http://&ldots;/q4/session.dll.  If you do have a license for Perception QuestionMark, make sure that you reset the default from http://servername/q4/session.dll to the actual location. http://servername/q4/session.dll

TRACCable Resource "The difference between a TRACCable Resource and a URL Resource is a button (that says either Mark as Complete or Take Assessment).  If your installation includes a license for ASSESS (Perception QuestionMark) you may wish to attach an assessment at the Resource level.

If you do not have ASSESS, there are two fields in the TRACCable Resource properties that will never be used.  To remove the confusion to SMEs as to their function, you may wish to deselect ASSESS ID and ASSESS URL from view for all of the roles."

Function Permissions

Add/ Edit/ Delete Task Export Categories Task Export Categories are only required if you are exporting summarized learning records to be imported into an ERP or HRIS system.  You may choose to allow an Operational Administrator to use this functionality, or reserve it as a System Owner function only.

Add/ Remove Employees Add/ Remove indicates that you can select from a list of employees that have been previously entered into the system.  If you wish to allow an SME to create other SMEs, he must be given this right.  This does not allow you to create people in the system.

Archive/ Restore Employees If you wish to allow your Operational Administrators to Archive/ Restore Employees, it is definitely less dangerous than allowing them to Delete/ Purge Employees.  In any case, if they make a mistake, it can always be recovered.

Archive/ Restore Resources If you wish to allow your SME to Archive/ Restore Resources, it is definitely less dangerous than allowing them to Delete/ Purge Resources.  In any case, if they make a mistake, it can always be recovered.

Archive/ Restore Tasks If you wish to allow your SME to Archive/ Restore Tasks, it is definitely less dangerous than allowing them to Delete/ Purge Tasks.  In any case, if they make a mistake, it can always be recovered.

Assign Learning to Organization Units This is one of the main Operational Administrator functions.  Once the Organization Unit has been created by the Operational Administrator, and the Process has been created by the SME, you must attach the two by Assigning Learning to Org Units.

Create/ Edit Employees Some companies wish to give the right to Supervisor to create and edit the employees in their Org Units.  Some wish to keep this as an Operational Administrator function.

Create/ Edit Organization Structure This functionality is usually reserved for an Operational Administrator.  Regardless, if you give a Supervisor the right to create Organization Units, they can only create Org Units within the Org Units that they have been assigned.  They would be unable to manipulate any other area of the database.

Create/ Edit/ Delete Custom Report Types This is a new functionality available in version 8.4.  Since this functionality must be quite precise, it is advised to leave it as a System Owner function only (although it can be attributed to an Operational Administrator and Reporter).

Create/ Edit Tasks Create/ Edit Tasks and Create/ Edit the Learning Model often go together.  The Learning Model is representative of Process Sets, Processes and Sub Processes.  Create/ Edit Tasks is Tasks, Resources, Knowledge Assessments, Capability Assessments and SCORM Resources.

Create/ Edit the Learning Model

Delete/ Purge Employees Although this is on by default for an Operational Administrator, it is highly advised to leave this as a System Owner function.

Delete/ Purge Resources

Delete/ Purge Tasks It is highly recommended to leave this as a System Owner function only.

Edit All Tasks (Owner Override) If you have several business units in your database, it is advised that this function be disabled.  The concept behind Task Ownership is that only the person who created the Task (and anyone that this person assigns as Task Owner also) can change the properties of the Task.  If you have this option enabled, any SME can modify any Task - regardless of Task Ownership.

Edit Events Events can be set as either Timed or Employee Task Events.  Operational Administrators, Supervisors and Reporters may wish to have this functionality in order to create their own personal events on the Organization Units they supervise.

Edit Object Definitions The Object Definitions dialog is very powerful dialog, in which you can add new custom object properties, set defaults for properties, and set validations for properties.  It is highly recommended that you leave this as a System Owner function only.

Edit Other Employee's Activity Notes Editing Other Employee's Schedule and Activity Notes generally work together.  Allowing a Supervisor or Operational Administrator this function will allow personal development plans to be created between management and the employees they supervise.

Edit Other Employee's Schedule

Edit Own Schedule

Edit Permission Sets for Organization Units "Once a new permission set (for a Learner, Supervisor, Operational Administrator, or Reporter) has been created - which differs from your default permission set for each of these roles, Operational Administrators can right click on an Organization Unit and select Change Permission Sets.  This allows you to set your new permission set for the selected Org Unit.

Please Note:  Setting a new permission set for an Organization Unit affects all of its immediate child Organization Units.  If you only want a particular Organization Unit to use a specific permission set, you must select each of its immediate Child Org Units, and deselect the Inherit Permissions from Parent checkbox."

Edit Permission Sets for Processes/ Process Sets "Once a new permission set (for a Subject Matter Expert) has been created - which differs from your default permission set for each of these roles, Subject Matter Experts can right click on an Process Set/ Process and select Change Permission Sets.  This allows you to set your new permission set for the selected Process Set/ Process.

Please Note:  Setting a new permission set for a Process Set/ Process affects all of its immediate child Process Sets/ Processes.  If you only want a particular Process Set/ Process to use a specific permission set, you must select each of its immediate Child Process Sets/ Processes, and deselect the Inherit Permissions from Parent checkbox."

Edit Role Permission Sets Enabling this function gives an Operational Administrator the right to change the default permission sets for the roles, as well as creating new permission sets.  It is highly recommended that you leave this as a System Owner function only.

Edit TRACCESS Today Settings The TRACCESS Today settings are available through Tools/ TRACCESS Today settings, and allow you to modify the text that appears in the Quick Links and TRACCESS News sections.  It does not determine which sections (TRACCESS News, Quick Links, My Job Summary, Qualification Summary) are actually seen on TRACCESS Today (that is determined in the System Options/ TRACCESS Today tab).

Export/ Import Translations "This function is not only for providing translations of the program for other languages.  It can also serve as a way to change the object names in TRACCESS CI to something else.

For example, if you are migrating from the 7 series, and wish to continue using the old terminology, Process, Sub Process and Task can be changed to Collection, Row and Folder.  Also, if your learners have difficulty understanding the term ""Capability"", you may wish to change this to ""Practical"".

It is highly recommended that you leave this as a System Owner function only."

Manage Qualification Data Warehouse "The Qualification Data Warehouse manager is simply to view the number of snapshots you have accummulated, and the number of Qualification Counts are in that snapshot.  This can be seen under Tools/ Maintenance/ Qualification Data Warehouse Manager under the main menu.

It is highly recommended that you leave this as a System Owner function only."

Modify Image Lists "Although this dialog contains almost all of the graphics in the system, there are only 2 graphics that you can safely change without dire repercussions.  These are the Login Screen and the Reports Header Image.  If you chose to change all of the Task icons to something else, it will affect the functioning of the entire system.

It is highly recommended that you leave this as a System Owner function only."

Send Feedback "Feedback and Messaging are very similar.  They both make use of the email system to send messages to people.  However, Feedback is in the context of an object, messaging is a general message to an entire Organization Unit.  The three types of feedback are:

On a Task (in general) - sent to Supervisor

On a Knowledge Assessment question - sent to Task Owner

Requesting a Capability Assessment - sent to Supervisor

Messaging goes down - from System Owner/ Administrator/ Supervisor to Learners and Management

Feedback goes up - from Learner to Supervisor or Task Owner"

Send Messages

Set Course Marks "This allows the Supervisor and/ or Operational Administrator to set a Task as complete for an entire Organization Unit or individual Employee based on an external course.  If this function does not seem to be working properly, there are a few troubleshooting steps that can be done:

1.  Does the Organization Unit have access to the Process in which the course is attached as a resource?

2.  Has the Course been set to Provide Knowledge and/ or Capability?

3.  Does the mark obtained by the Employee meet or exceed the required passmark set by the Course resource?

4.  Does the Task(s) that the Course is attached to have their Has Knowledge/ Capability Component set to yes?"

Set Primary Process - Dependent on Create/ Edit Employees A primary process can be assigned to each Employee, and is selected from the list of Processes they have access to.  The primary  process is the most important process for that person, and therefore opens immediately when the Employee accesses their My Job tree.

Set Qualification Dates "This is a function that has always existed in TRACCESS, and in CI it has been made even better.  Instead of only being able to set completion dates on a Sub Process (Row), you can now select the entire Organization Unit and the entire Process, and deselect what does not apply.

When you use the Set Qualification Dates function, the line that appears in an Employee's View Task History is Knowledge/ Capability Qualification Date Set (Manual).  It is recommended that if you are able to set a completion using a written assessment, a capability assessment, or a course mark, these ways provide more validity to the dates than simply using Set Qualification Dates."

Set System Options "Changing System Options will affect everyone in the database.  These changes are in the areas of:  General, Session, History Tracking, Task, Language, Online Assessments, Events, Report, TRACCESS Today, Schedule, and Data Warehouse.

It is highly recommended that you leave this as a System Owner function only."

Set Task Priority "Setting a Task priority from Normal to High adds a red underline to the Task.  

Please Note:  Setting a Task Priority is Employee-specific.  Even though you can do this function at the Organization Unit level, what the application is doing is tagging each Employee that is in the Organization Unit at the time of the change.  If another Employee is subsequently added to the Organization Unit, their Task will appear as Normal priority."

Submit Capability Assessments This function is specific to the last step in completing a Capability Assessment, which may also be known as the electronic sign-off.  If this function is not enabled for either an Operational Administrator or Supervisor, the only person who will be able to sign off on Capability Assessments is the System Owner.  Make sure that this is enabled for one or both of the above mentioned roles.

Use Import Tool "Allow this function is enabled by default for an Operational Administrator, it is a function that could have dire consequences.

The two types of Imports that can currently be completed are Import Employees and Import Learning Records.  These imports (especially when using SAP also) can be created as a Timed Event, and can be set to update the records in the system on a regularly scheduled basis.

It is highly recommended that you leave this as a System Owner function only."

Use Search The Search is a very valuable tool, and can be used to generate results much the same as reports.  If you are unable to obtain the information you wish to have in an integrated report, you may wish to see if this information is attainable by completing a Search.

Use TRACPath "TRACPath is a powerful Search and Replace tool for URL/ TRACCable Resources, and ASSESS Session URL addresses.  If your resources or ASSESS database have been changed location, you can use this tool to change their path rather than having to reset links one-by-one.

It is highly recommended that you leave this as a System Owner function only."

View Employee's Task History

View/ Change TRACCESS CI License "TRACCESS CI (8.3) implemented the use of license files to control the features that are available in the software, any expiry dates, maximum number of Employees, and active language packs.

It is highly recommended that you leave this as a System Owner function only."

View/ Edit Capability Assessment The Submit Capability Assessment deals with the electronic sign-off of the entire Capability Assessment.  This function deals with the ability to fill in all of the other information (Assessor Name, Date, Comments) for each Action.  You may wish to have a Supervisor be able to complete all of the Capability Assessment, and  have the Operational Administrator the only role that can actually sign them off.
