Recommendation by Participant 

(Opened via Left Menu in REPORTER: Reports > Compliance Reports > Compliance by Participant tab)

 List of all participants with recommendations to take a course that can be assigned via an existing requirement

When accessing reports through the menu link, you will have the option to view additional records not seen when managing assignments. Here you have the option to view only ‘Active’ data, or to include ‘Active’ data and ‘Archived data’. Archived data will include anything the user was required to complete in the past even if the requirement is no longer active. This does not include unassigned requirements, just requirements that are no longer active.

Report Field

About

Variation Notes

“Archived”

Reference to whether the Requirement is Active or if it has been closed out. Archived Requirements are no longer active.

Users are not considered actively assigned that requirement once archived.

“Inactive”

Usually in reference to the assignment for an individual person. If active, they are still assigned, if inactive, the requirement is not longer assigned and/or active

Unassigned users will be inactive, and users assigned to now archived requirements will be inactive

Registration Status

Determined by Due Date, Previous Completions, and Active Registrations and reflects whether someone needs to register for or just complete a required course. This is shown to users and admins.

• Complete: This portion of the requirement has been met.
• Registered: You are registered for this course but have not yet completed it.
• Action Needed: You have not yet registered for this required training.

If someone registers for an additional instance after completing a required course, the course will update to Registered, but the completion credit is not lost. If someone is Complete and there is a refresher cycle, this status will update when the user is Due within 30 Days, changing from ‘Complete’ to ‘Action Needed’.

Assignment Status

If a requirement includes more than one course, each course has a separate assignment status, and those statuses impact the overall requirement status

• New Assignment: When something is first assigned, you haven't completed it, but the due date is farther than 30 days away
• In Compliance: The required course(s) have been completed
• Due within 30 Days: The due date is approaching and something has not been completed
• Out of Compliance: The due date has passed and something has not been completed

If an assignment is “Inactive”:

• If this status is Empty, the user is no longer required to complete that specific course.
• If “Incomplete”, the user had not completed that course

Requirement Status (Often labeled just “Status”)

Indicates the user's course completion in relation to a requirement. The statuses seen here for Active Assignments are the same at the Assignment Statuses described above.

If a requirement contains multiple courses (or multiple course options) users will have a separate Assignment status per required course, plus an overall “Requirement Status”  for the requirement.

• If the requirement includes alternate refreshers, or multiple course options for a single course credit, you may see additional records in reports corresponding to activity for each of the related courses that users have records for.
• If a user has completed 1 of 2 two courses by the due date, one course will be in compliance but the other course and the overall requirement will be out of compliance.  If the courses within the requirement have different due dates, the nearest one will display. Status corresponds to the overall status for the requirement. If users have completed some but not all of the courses in the requirement by the due date, they will be out of compliance.

With Active Requirements:

• If this status is Empty, the user is no longer assigned.
• If “Incomplete”, the user was not in compliance when they were unassigned.

If the requirement has been archived:

• An Empty Status indicates the user was unassigned before the requirement was archived.
• Incomplete indicates the user was not “In Compliance” at the time of the archival.

Assigned By & Date Assigned

This will identify who identified the user as required, and on what date they were assigned.

If the requirement allows people to be assigned by their Supervisor, this field can be helpful to determine if someone was identified by a Supervisor versus being Identified by a Compliance Admin.

It should be noted that this person may be administrative support working on behalf of the training owners or compliance managers, and does not necessarily indicate who determined the person was required.

Additionally, if someone is assigned automatically by way of another system (example - Safety Checklist), you will see a specific person’s name even though they did not physically go into REPORTER and tag that person.

OUC

The code for the user’s department. If you hover over this number you will see the user’s supervisor. If the user has multiple jobs, hovering will show additional job OUCs.

If you View/Export More detail, there is a row per user, per job (so if you have 2 jobs the report will have 2 rows for you with one ouc on each).

Supervisor

The REPORTER System receives two data files from the Peoplesoft HR System on a nightly basis and those records are imported into the REPORTER system to be used for compliance and training management.

The two files include and result in the following:

One file includes all active employees and their general and contact information (including legal and preferred name).

Before importing the file, REPORTER changes the system value of “Active Employee” to be No for all users.

Then, the system will identify anyone listed in the file that does not already have an account in REPORTER (e.g. New Hires) and it will create their account.

Lastly, it will import the data for all persons, and change “Active Employee” to Yes for those listed.

The second file contains every active job record and a portion of the associated job data

Includes all job records, so if someone has multiple jobs, they will have multiple records, and each record includes the “Reports to” field

If there are multiple jobs, the primary job (the lowest “Empl Record”) is the only supervisor that gets notices

Student Data

Typically requires use of “View/Export More Details’

Pulled from SIS

Using the left menu navigation of “Reports” > “Compliance Reports” you can access a list of requirements that you have administration access for.

On the far right, you will see a column indicating whether the requirement has been archived, if ‘Yes’ the tracking for that training requirement has been closed out and is no longer actively assigned to users.

Interpreting Archived Reports  - (CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

Compliance Status:

• Empty - The user was unassigned from the requirement before it was ever archived.
• Incomplete - At the time of archival, the user was assigned but Out of Compliance
• In Compliance - The user was assigned and met the requirement at the time it was archived

Most Recent Completion:

• If there is a date, that is when the user most recently completed training related to the requirement.
• If there is no date, the user did not have any completions related to the requirement

Due Date:

• If the Due Date field is empty:

• MRC is Empty - The User

If the requirement has been archived:

• An Empty Status indicates the user was unassigned before the requirement was archived.
• Incomplete indicates the user was not “In Compliance” at the time of the archival

At the time of Unassign Or Archival, as indicated by the Status --- the user had no completions counting towards meeting the requirement

User was unassigned prior to the requirement being archived. The data included is specific to the point in time that the user was unassigned.

User was Actively Assigned when the requirement was archived. Data included reflects the record at the time the requirement was archived.

At the time of Unassign Or Archival, as indicated by the Status --- the user had previously completed at least 1 of the required courses.

The user was due to complete training by this date.

At the time of Archival, the user had previously met the requirement but was Out of Compliance for the Refresher Due Date indicated

At the time of being unassigned, the user had previously completed at least 1 of the required courses

Record A: User was assigned at the time the requirement was archived, but had not completed training. The Incomplete status column indicates the user was identified as required at the time the requirement was archived.

Record B: User was assigned in the past, but was unassigned before completing the course. The Empty Status column indicates they were unassigned the requirement, and therefore had no compliance status when the requirement was archived.

In both cases, the “History” tab can be used to verify what occurred with a particular record.

While a requirement is actively assigned to a user, they will have a Due Date and Compliance Status that is actively tracked and updated based on related activity in the REPORTER system -- this may also include email notices, attention required notifications, and providing other data available to the assigned user with the indication of being required. So long as the assignment is active, the user will continue being tracked until they are unassigned, or the requirement is archived.

• When a requirement is “Unassigned”, meaning a specific individual (or individuals) are removed from the list of who should be required to complete training, their assignment will change from “Active” to “Inactive”.
• If a requirement is archived, all active assignments will become Inactive, as they are no longer being actively enforced/tracked through that specific requirement.

Using the left menu navigation of “Reports” > “Compliance Reports” you can access a list of requirements that you have administration access for.

From the ‘Compliance by Participant’ tab, you will also see a column on the far right for “Inactive” with Yes/No values.

In this report, the status is specifically in reference to the listed user and course.

• if a requirement is actively assigned to someone, they will be ‘No’, meaning active
• if ‘Yes’ the tracking for that training requirement has been closed out and is no longe

Select Reports from the left side menu, then select the Compliance Reports link. From there find the requirement whose reports you wish to view, select it and click the View Details button.

• If a requirement has been archived, you will not be able to access this report through the  ‘Manage Assignments’ page  in REPORTER.
