Adding a New Training Offering

You can add new Training Offerings. A Training Offering is a single, reportable, collection of similar or equivalent activities that have different delivery methods. Completion of one activity in the collection satisfies the Training Offering requirement. You can include Courses, Classes, External Training, Enrollments, ILT Events, ILT Sessions, ILT Tracks, and Instances in a Training Offering. You can have an unlimited number of items mapped to a Training Offering. Users only need to complete one item for the Training Offering to be marked as complete.

On the ControlPanel:

1. Click on the Advanced Learning menu to expand it.
2. Click Training Offerings
3. Click Add Training Offering to create a new Training Offering. A multi-tabbed page opens.

4. Type a Name and Description for the Training Offering.

You can add HTML tags to the Description field.

The results will display to end Users in the Training Offering Catalog Dynamic Object.

5. (Optional) Select Owners for the Training Offering. By default, the Admin creating the Training Offering is listed as the Owner. You can add other owners and you can delete owners as necessary. It is mandatory to have at least one owner.

LearnCenter Co-Owners are implicitly owners of all Training Offerings, but they will not be listed in the Owners field.

6. Select the Permissions check box to indicate only the Training Offering owners (listed in the Owners box) have permission to update the Training Offering.
   or
   Clear the check box to indicate that anyone who has been granted the appropriate Training Offerings User Permissions can update the Training Offering. (Default)
7. Click one of the following for Status:

• Active - to indicate the Training Offering is available for your Users to see and use.
• Inactive - to indicate the Training Offering is not available for your Users to see and use.

You can change the status later by editing the Training Offering or by changing the status on the main Training Offering page. See Changing the Status of Items for additional information.

3. Click Return Selected.

10. Select the Include in LearnCenter Search check box (default) to make the item searchable within the Search Widget. Clearing the check box excludes it from search results in the Search Widget.

    The functionality works only with the Search Widget, and not the Search dynamic object.
