How to change Completion Statuses


The ability to change Completion Status is available for Courses and Learning Plans. It allows Admins to manually change the progression for one or multiple Users.

The workflow to change the Completion Status for one or more Users is the same for Courses and Learning Plans. Simply follow the steps below.

1: Navigate to Admin > Learning > Courses/Learning Plans > Assignments.

Here, you must select the User(s) you wish to change the Completion Status for. Once selected, click the Change status icon.

2: From here, you will be able to change the Completion Status for the User(s) you have selected. The Completion Status options are Not started, In progress and Completed.

3: Select the desired Completion Status, and finish by clicking Confirm.

IMPORTANT! Changing the Completion Status manually will NOT issue and/or impact Certifications. This means that you cannot manually trigger a Certificate for a User, or trigger to open a Renewal Window outside the scope of the Certification settings by manually changing the Completion Status of a User.


Will a manual change affect Reporting?


Yes, changing the Completion Status for a User will be reflected in Reporting. How this change reflects depends on the specific scenario.

  • Not started > In progress: Start date will be shown with the Date of this Change. Time spent will be empty as a result.

  • Not started > Completed: Start/Completed date will be shown with the Date of this Change. Time spent will be empty as a result.

  • In progress > Not started: Start date will be removed and Time spent will be empty as a result.

  • In progress > Completed: Start date will remain, and Completed date will be shown with the Date of this Change. If any Time spent was registered before the manual change, this will remain.

  • Completed > Not started: Start/Completed date will be removed and Time spent will be empty as a result.

  • Completed > In progress: Start date will remain, and Completed date will be removed. Time spent will remain.
