This article will expand upon the Introduction article, but specifically for the Administrator Interface.
There are three main points of navigation within the Admin view: the left navigation bar, the top-right navigation bar, and the bottom-left help button.
Dashboard
This is the screen that appears when you first log in. It provides an overview of the recent activity and status of the system, with user and task statistics. Any approvals you may need to verify will be listed to the right.
You can access a shortcut to any saved or scheduled reports that you have set up.
In the last section of the Dashboard, you are also able to filter the course completion log to specific courses, and access user records directly from there.
Reports
Access Reports using the left navigation bar. This page allows you to run reports to provide insight into many factors within the system, including tasks users have completed, finding when certain tasks were completed, finding expiring tasks for users, and the documents that have been submitted.
To run a report, determine the type of Report you would like based on its description, and press it to select that type of Report. Follow the steps highlighted to you from there to select the specific kind of data you would like.
For more detailed information and a step-by-step guide on running Reports, please refer to Reports Overview.
Approvals
Access Approvals using the left navigation bar. This page displays any documents that require admin approval after an end-user submits them, it goes to you for review.
