Courses

How does one auto-assign course(s) for existing employees?

In order for this functionality to be available for Admins, a particular setting has to be turned on prior.
Please contact your CSM to enable this feature, if you are unsure who your CSM is, email us at support@medtrainer.com

Step 1: Log in at MedTrainer  

Step 2: Select Organization Management

Step 3: Select Company Settings

Step 4: Select the Reminders tab

Step 5: Select yes for the fourth option "Auto Re-assign Courses"

Step 6: Select Save


Note: Because this has not been turned on with the previous assignments the assignment would have to be reassigned in order for the auto-assign to kick in for the assignments.

What is the purpose of the filter section (the column on the right) in the course catalog module?

Within the course catalog, there is a filter section, located on the right side of the module, where it will facilitate users to find courses. The filtering section is composed by Dimensions or General Topics (which are in bold) and the general topic contains facets or subtopics that are used as a filter to find courses.

For example, if you wish to view courses on Regulatory Compliance, (click on the downbar arrow) and you may select the subtopic of your choice, to pull courses on CMS, CDC, HIPAA, and more! Again, just select the box of the subtopic you wish to find courses on.

Another Example is to select more than one filter you would like to pull courses on OSHA and HIPAA requirements for ASCs, you will need to select the Healthcare Industry: ASC and OSHA and HIPAA, which is found in the Regulatory Compliance Dimension.


Using these filters will help you find courses that are specific to your organization and needs!
