Admin Features

Find out what administrators can get access to via the VIP administration system

  • REPORT DASHBOARD: The VIP system allows administrators to measure compliance for their location. The screenshot below shows an overall report for compliance on the Fire Safety module within the Foundation Training FY1 pathway between the dates shown.

  • EXCEPTIONS REPORT: The screenshot below shows a list of outstanding users who have not completed the learning in the correct timescale. These reports can be accesed for any pathway.

  • COURSE CATALOGUE: As part of the VIP system, we have a selection of modules available on our course catalogue that you can download and edit using our online authoring tool, LAB Advanced.

  • EDIT MODULE USING LAB ADVANCED: On the screenshot below, the areas marked in red show how LAB Advanced can be used to edit and update the existing mandatory modules. LAB Advanced allows administrators to make changes to text content (for example: adding local policies), uploading and changing images, adding relevant videos, building assessments and creating engaging interactions.

  • ADD A PATHWAY: With your administration rights you can add and edit your own pathways revelant to your location using the interface shown below. We have a selection of modules ready to be added to your pathways, but you can also upload your own modules to the learnPro learning management system.

  • SYNC API: The learnPro synchronisation API allows assessment results and other key user data to be securely transferred to any HR or electronic staff record system. learnPro currently interfaces with a number of complex data systems including NHS Scotland's Electronic Employee Support System (EESS) to ensure that staff records are automatically updated.
