We need a way to efficiently assign courses to employees from multiple departments. Example: we have weekly safety training courses for our non-office based employees we need to assign training to across multiple departments across multiple locations. Currently, Absorb only allows a Group to have one Department assigned to it, all other Users must be assigned individually. What is the point in having a Group vs. Department? Beyond the Department assigned to a group, all users will need added/subtracted from their respective Departments and Groups assuming they don't belong to the one Department assigned to the Group. We need to be able to add multiple departments to a Group. Another workaround would be the ability to assign courses to Departments and their Sub-Departments. The situation we find ourselves in right now is this:
Safety training for 29 different Departments. Search each for department, view users, assign users, search course category, search, select course, and assign = Huge waste of time. This burns about 30 minutes a week. And to add to it, if you click through "too fast" not all the users are assigned and you have to reassign them. Super fun.
Thank you for sharing your idea with us! We’re excited to let you know that your suggestion has been implemented and is now available on our platform.
This enhancement can be found when creating or editing a course. In the enrollment rules section, you can now add a rule that allows you to select a department and its sub-departments as part of the rule. Please refer to the screenshot below for detailed guidance.
Your input was invaluable in making this improvement possible, and we truly appreciate your contribution. If you have any questions about this feature or further suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
