This report is a crucial tool for monitoring the effectiveness of training programs, understanding learner engagement, and optimizing course delivery to meet educational goals.

The Performance Report is tailored to help you glean insights from complex data through a series of interactive pages, each focused on different aspects of course performance. Whether you are assessing individual learner progress, tracking departmental achievements, or evaluating overall course outcomes, these reports are structured to provide you with all the necessary tools to make data-driven decisions.

Each section of this documentation will cover a specific page of the Performance Report, detailing the functionalities available and offering guidance on how to interpret and utilize the information effectively. Our goal is to empower you to leverage this data to enhance learning experiences, improve educational content, and achieve strategic training objectives efficiently.

 

Report structure

Overview

The report consists of several visualizations (charts and graphs), which you can interact with to explore specific data sets. Key components include filters and slicers on the left side of the report, allowing you to customize the data display.

 

Filters and slicers

Filters and slicers allow you to view only the data you're interested in. They are consistent across most pages, so you can apply the same filters as you navigate through different sections of the report.

 

How to apply filters

• Single-Select Filters: Indicated by circular radio buttons, allowing you to select one option.
• Multi-Select Filters: Indicated by square buttons. Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) to select multiple options.
• Mandatory and Optional Filters: Mandatory filters are labeled with "Select" and must be set to display data. Optional filters are labeled with "Filter."

 

Common filters across all pages

• Filter Catalog(s): Choose catalogs to only see data related to selected catalogs.
• Select a Training: Mandatory selection needed to display data; focuses the analysis on a specific training.
• Status Filters (Required, Registration, Completion): Break down data by various statuses to update visualizations dynamically and highlight areas of interest.

 

 

Instructions for use

This report includes various charts and graphs that help you understand the data through visual representations. You can interact with visuals in a couple of different ways.

• Viewing Details. Simply move your mouse over any part of a chart or graph. A small box will appear, showing you more specific information, like numbers or percentages, related to the part you are hovering over.
• Drilling Down. If you want to see more detailed data about a particular section of a chart, such as a slice of a pie chart or a bar in a bar graph, just click on it. This action will "drill down," which means it will open more detailed information about that section and change the data displayed on the entire page based on your selection.
