Fixes

Improvements

Training Needs Analysis

Include a Filter for Position in which multiple positions can be selected and will only display training required for those positions.

Post review of this, any gaps can be addressed by updating People>Human Resources>Manage Positions.

Training and CAT Register– Filter for Position added with ability to select more than one position in Search.

 

User Management –Manage Employee “Site Only” or “Reporting To” options can be added. This is helpful when a manager is located at one site, however, has people located at various other sites who they are responsible for.  This is only relevant to PRIVATE SITES.

By default, it was set to Site Only when pushed on to production so please just check this for private site clients.

Report > Site Master
