Training completion reports like the Training Data Report (TDR), Quick Status Report (QSR), and Rule Compliance Report (RCR) have a column you can pull into the reporting results called “Assigned On Date,” which refers to the actual date users were assigned training. In most instances, this will align with the “Assign On” field you see in rules (and in the Rule Audit Report (RAR)), but not always. For example, there may be instances where a user was added to the rule after everyone else, so they’re “Assigned On Date” may be different than what’s listed in the rule.

Example:  if a rule contains a course that says “Assign On” 01/01/23, but a user’s official start date in the Learning Manager wasn’t until 02/01/23, the “Assigned On Date” in training completions reports will show up as 02/01/23 (assuming the user’s profile had criteria that added them to the rule, and the rule processed and assigned the course to them that morning).

Simply put, the Rule Audit Report (RAR) displays the “Assign On” dates listed in rules, while the TDR, QSR, RCR, etc. always shows the true assignment date based on when it was officially added to their assignments.
