Step 2 of 3 ALMSR

If you selected to create a Quick Report for an Assigned Learning Module Status Report, the following filters are available:

  • Learning Modules -  Select specific modules, a Module Report Group, or All Modules

  • Other user filters - Divisions, Regions, Locations, Job Codes, or Positions

  • Date filter - You can filter on Hire Date, Assignment Date, Due Date or Complete Date and select static dates or offsets from the date the report is run. 

    • If you use a 'Static Date', the report will always use the same date whenever it is run. 

    • If you use a 'Days Offset', the report will use the date the report is done plus/minus the 'Days Offset' value.  For example, if you wanted to report on new hires within the 30 days, you would select 'Hire Date' and set the two date offsets to -30 and 0.

  • Learning Module Statuses

  • Advanced Filters - Link to view advanced filters is on the right side of the page

Near the bottom, you can choose what columns to include in the output report by checking/unchecking the boxes for each group of fields. You also have the option of using a report template that you have created. Once you are finished, click the 'Next' button at the bottom of the page.

For a Completion Matrix Report, the default is to select /wiki/spaces/CR/pages/19890214, although you can also select individual modules.  The following additional filters are used:

  • Learning Modules -  Select specific modules or a Module Report Group you have created

  • Other user filters - Such as Locations, Job Codes, Hire Date, or Positions

    • 'Static Date' and 'Days Offset' work the same for Hire Date as for the Date Filter.

  • Date filter - You can filter on Assignment Date or Due Date and select static dates or offsets from the date the report is run.  If you use a 'Static Date', the report will always use the same date whenever it is run.  If you use a 'Days Offset', the report will use the date the report is done plus/minus the 'Days Offset' value.  For example, if you wanted to report on new hires within the 30 days, you would select 'Hire Date' and set the two date offsets to -30 and 0.

  • Assignment Types - Required, Suggested, or both

  • Advanced Filters - Link to view advanced filters is on the right side of the page
