People
The topics below represent common tasks you may find yourself doing under the People tab in the Administration section. Click on a topic to jump to instructions.
Add a Person
You can add new user profiles to the Learning Manager as the need arises.
Add a People Group
People Groups allow you set up a group of people based on information in users’ profiles like organization, position, or manager. They can also be set up to include users that may not have common criteria at all. People Groups are naturally integrated in rules already but can be created as a standalone group under the People tab in situations where you find yourself creating rules with the same types of member audiences. Create People Groups and pick them out in rules when assigning training.
Add to Transcript
You can manually add external activities to a user’s Transcript. To add an external activity to multiple users’ transcripts at once, follow the Batch Add to Transcript instructions.
Assign Content
In addition to Rules (the primary way to assign training), training administrators can manually assign and distribute courses and documents. This can be a quick and easy way to add one-off assignments. Training administrators must remember to remove courses in particular however once users complete them, or at the end of a training year, as they do not possess an end date like rules that removes them from the View Assignments window automatically.
Batch Add to Transcript
Batch add to transcript allows you to quickly enter a transcript item to multiple profiles at once, rather than individually.
Batch Edit Users
Batch editing allows you to quickly edit multiple user at once, rather than individually.
Browse Users by…
Within the People tab, you can quickly browse for users based on the organization they are in, their manager, or the position they have by using the menu on the left-hand side of the page.
Deactivate a User
You can deactivate users who are no longer with the company (or those on leave) as a means to maintain your user limit and prevent future training from being assigned. Please note: if your organization has opted for HRIS you will need to deactivate users in your HRIS system rather than manually deactivate them here in the BAI Learning Manager as all changes will be reverted.
Edit a Profile
You can edit the information listed in any user’s profile. Please note that organizations, positions, and locations must first be created under the management tab in administration before they can be selected on user’s profiles.
Edit a People Group
Training Administrators can edit their People Groups when member audience details change.
Make Training Administrator
As a training administrator you can grant other users administrator privileges, allowing them access to perform all the same exact tasks you can including creating rules, editing users, and running reports.
Mark a Course Successful
In situations where a user’s assignment remains stuck in progress, administrators can mark the assignment successful. A common example of this is when a user times out in a course.
Reactivate a User
Use the Advanced Search to find inactive users and reactivate them.
Reset a Course
In situations where a user’s assignment remains stuck in progress (an example of this may be when a student times out in a course), administrators can reset the course to provide users a fresh, uncorrupted attempt. The status in the course will revert to “New,” and users may then relaunch the course and skip to the part they last left off at. Please note that courses requiring approval are handled differently, and need to be approved rather than reset (view the approve courses instructions for further information).
Reset a Password
If a user has forgotten their password or their account is locked, you can reset their password to grant them access to the Learning Manager.
Search for Users
You can use the simple search to quickly find users by First Name, Last Name, Username, Organization, or Position. You can use the advanced search for more complex searches, and when searching for inactive users.
View Assignments
You can view users’ active assignments including those assigned from rules, those assigned manually by managers or training administrators, and electives the user decided to search for and launch themselves.
View Transcripts
You can view and print users’ transcripts, which lists all successfully and unsuccessfully completed attempts.

Edit Retake Limit
By default, courses assume the portal default retake limit set under the Management tab. Training administrators may change the retake limit for individual courses when needed.
Evaluation Editor
Launch the evaluation editor to create your own survey, evaluation, or assessment. Please note: while there is no hard limit as to the number of questions you can add in the editor, you may start to encounter issues beyond a certain point such as missing QLA data, or timeout issues opening the survey, evaluation, or assessment. To ensure students do not start experiencing occurrences like this, consider creating multiple surveys, evaluations, or assessments to break apart content that contains more than 50 questions.
Hide Content From Users
Hide a course or document from users’ views in the catalog to prevent them from registering in it.
Add Assessment Screen
An assessment screen can be used to test students on content in an I-Design course.
Add Basic Screen
There are several basic screen layouts from which to choose. Blue squares containing yellow stars represent media, while horizontal lines represent text. Each layout portrays the location of the media or text element(s).
Add Document Link
Use the “Link to Document” feature in text editing windows to quickly add a document hyperlink within basic screens.
Add Feedback
When a user submits their answer to a question, provide them feedback based on whether they were correct, incorrect, or partially correct. Customize feedback under Assessment Screens.
Add Folder
Add folders to group your slides in I-Design. Edit the settings of these folders to randomize assessments, create question pools, set slides as resources, or disable slide navigation.
