Change Status Options for Oracle Learning Assignments

You can change the status of a learning assignment. The available change status actions depend on status of the selected learning assignments.

Option Description
Activate Assignment

Activate the learning assignment.

This action is available for only learning assignments with a Waitlisted or Request Approved status.

Bypass and Approve

Override action that cancels the approval transaction and updates the learning assignment on behalf of the approver. For example, bypass and approve an assignment when the assignment due date is before the approver’s return from leave.

This action is available for only learning assignments with a Requested, Pending Completion Approval, or Pending Withdraw Approval status.

Bypass and Complete Set the assignment status to Bypass Completed without the learner completing this assignment. For example, the learner completed equivalent learning as part of a college program and provided their report card as proof.
Withdraw Learners

Withdraw the learning assignment so that it no longer appears in the learner’s current learning. The learning assignment does still how in their learning history.

This action is available for any learning assignments with preactive and active statuses. It’s not available after the learner completes the learning.

Waive Prerequisites

Let the learner skip any prerequisites configured for the learning. This action changes the learning assignment status to Not Started or No Selected Offering, whichever applies.

This action is available for only learning assignments with a Pending Prerequisites status.

Delete Assignment

Delete the learning assignment for the learner so that it doesn’t appear in their learning history. It continues to appear to learning administrators on the Learning Assignments tabs and pages.

To permanently purge deleted assignments so that even learning administrators no longer see them, you can use HCM Data Loader.

Bypass and Reject

Override action that cancels the approval transaction and updates the learning assignment on behalf of the approver. For example, bypass and reject an assignment in Requested status because the approver is away and not responding.

This action is available for only learning assignments with a Requested, Pending Completion Approval, or Pending Withdraw Approval status. Assignments with active statuses, such as No Offering Selected, were already approved, so there’s nothing to bypass.

Waitlisted

Change the learning assignment status from Not Started or In Progress to Waitlisted and add the learner to the bottom of the waitlist.

For changes before the offering start date, the assignment status of the person at the top of the waitlist gets set to Not Started or In Progress, whichever applies.

Undo Complete

Undo the completion for an offering assignment to correct erroneous completions. If you reset all the activities, the offering and corresponding course assignments get set to Not Started. If you reset only some activities, the assignments get set to In Progress.

Undoing the offering assignment status always undoes status of the corresponding course assignments. For example, if you change the offering status to Active - In Progress, the course assignment status also changes to In Progress.

There are two exceptions to this:

  • The undo doesn't remove any outcomes the learner achieved for a completed course from their talent profiles.
  • The undo doesn't affect any learning assignment started because the learner achieved a prerequisite by completing the course. For example, the learner completed the Microsoft Word Basics course, thus achieving the prerequisite they needed to start the Intermediate Microsoft Word course. If you undo their completion of Microsoft Word Basics, the can continue with their Intermediate Microsoft Word learning.

The undo doesn't change the Completed status of any specialization assignment that includes the undone course offering.

If the learning assignment that you’re undoing has advanced rules configured, the undo doesn’t recalculate the assignment due date. It does nullify and expiration, completion, and validity dates.

You can reset the undo completion for an In Progress offering assignment. If you reset the status for all the assignment's activities, the assignment status remains as In Progress for the offering and the course. The progress changes to 0 / N activities completed.

Undo Bypass and Complete

Undo accidental or unwanted Bypass and Complete actions for course and specialization assignments. The course assignment status changes to No Offering Selected. Any corresponding specialization assignment continues to have the active status or Bypass Completed status.

When the specialization assignment has no corresponding course assignment, the undo changes the status to Not Started.

This action is available on the course or specialization Learning Assignments tab, for only assignments with a Bypass Complete status.
