Reviewing & Updating Plans as a Manager
The Manage tab gives unrestricted and restricted administrators an organized look at, and intuitive control of the Plan for each learner they manage - letting you follow up on the activities they've been assigned, activities they have in-progress, and learning they've already completed. All of this can be seen at a-glance.
This article covers accessing the Manage tab, viewing your learners' Plans, adding learning activities to their Plan, and editing existing Plan activities.
The Manage Tab
The Manage tab is accessible in Learner View for unrestricted and restricted administrators who are assigned as Manager to learners in the platform. If available, you'll find the Manage tab icon in the side navigation panel
On the Manage page, you'll find a list of the learners you manage. Click the View Plan link beside a learner's name to access the Plan page for that learner.
Viewing a Plan
Visually, the Plan pages you view as Manager mirror the Plan pages used by your learners - but feature administrative tools that give you control of every activities included in the Plan - no matter if the activity was added by an admin or learner.
Viewing a learner's Plan lets you:
- Review completed or in-progress activities
- Add new activities
- Drop activities
- Edit Plan activities
- Organize Plan activities
When you make a change to a learner's Plan, that change is immediately reflected for the learner.
Reviewing & Updating Plan Content
Each Plan gives you an at-a-glance overview of the activities a learner has completed, or has in-progress and upcoming - organized by quarter. The details for each activity tell you if that activity is Required, Recommended, or Elected, and feature the activity's due date or a notice if the activity is past due.
Here's a quick visual breakdown of a learner's Plan page as viewed by a Manager:
