Creating Training Plans

Administrators create training plans and then designate the criteria for those plans and the training topics for versions of those plans. For more information about designating the criteria, see Adding Criteria to Training Plans. For more information about designating the training topics for versions, see Creating Versions of Training Plans.

When administrators publish the plans, the training topics in those plans are automatically associated with the appropriate contacts for the appropriate sites. The Role field value for the training topics in the plans determines the appropriate contacts. The plan criteria determines the appropriate sites.

To create a training plan

  1. Navigate to the Administration - Clinical screen, then the Training Plans view.

  2. In the Training Plans list, create a new record and complete the necessary fields as shown in the following table.
