Training plan updater common solution administrator guide

Overview

This Power App/Power Automate common solution enables an LMS admin to select a training plan and mark all of the users who have completed it as In Progress. It will also enroll users into any newly added courses within the training plan. This solution will set all completed users as In Progress even if there were no newly added courses.

 

Use case

This solution is primarily used for training plans that will have continual updates to the number of courses they contain. By default, adding a course doesn't change the status of users who have already completed the training plan. This can lead to the training plan showing as complete even though all the courses within the training plan may not have been completed.

 

Prerequisites

• Success Plus or Success Premium subscription.
• Learn365 API key (full control permissions and created in the customer’s tenant).
• Power Automate license for admin using solution.
• Power Apps license required for admin using solution.

 

How to use the solution

Once installed, open the application and select Start.

 

 

Select the relevant course catalog and the training plan, then select Update Progress.

 

 

This will start the process of updating the status of all the users who have completed the training plan from Completed to In Progress. Users will then be enrolled in any courses within the training plan, including any newly added ones.
