We are getting close to releasing a major new update to TMS, are you ready for the transition and the functionality?

If not, you should check out all the information we have here.

If you have more questions, track down Kara.  She knows everything!

Therap’s Training Management System (TMS) has undergone a huge overhaul based on several years of customer feedback.

We hope to bring you the new release later this month.

If you are an existing TMS user, you should sign up for one of the webinars listed below that Kara is doing to show how your data will work in the new system.

All your data will be migrated across, though there will be a few blanks in places where we will now do much more in the way of activity and change tracking than we did in the previous version.

Hopefully you have already watched Kara’s videos. If not, click here.

If you are more of a static document sort of person, then why not check out the summary document that you can read at your leisure.

Tomorrow I’m getting a look at the latest update, so there should be more exciting news!

I told you that there would be much more!

Here’s a start!

Again, remember that you are being given an early peak into something that is still in development.  There will be changes.

We are very excited to be in the final stages of bringing you a significant upgrade to Therap’s Training Management System.

Based on lots of feedback there are all sorts of new features and capabilities.

Take a look at Kara’s first introduction:

Remember, this is still in development, so there will be changes before the release.

Much more to come!

I always get really excited when I get the chance to look at a new Therap feature or module as it nears completion.

This is no exception!

Yan and Pushpita have been working really hard to bring you the next generation of TMS (our Training Management System) chock full of enhancements (and even a few requested features!)

I’m not quite sure when we will see a production release, but it won’t be too long so keep your eyes open as we will be running bunches of webinars to make the transition as easy as possible for you.

Here’s a few teaser screenshots (click on them for full size versions)

Almost time for Side by Side Technology II in Murfreesboro, Tennesee.

To celebrating we will be showing off the latest iteration in our interface between Therap and The College of Direct Support.

As long as you are a CDS Customer and have used CDS to set up and take your lessons, then you can link your CDS account to your Therap one.

This will allow you to keep an eye on what is going on with your trainings on CDS by clicking the link in your TMS box:

Clicking on “CDS Lessons” will bring you to a page where you can see your current status:

And then, your CDS page and all the great CDS content is just a click away!

Be sure to tell Tanm what you think and what else you would like the interface to do.

Last night I was given a quick tour of TMS in Therap 8.1 and I am really excited about the direction it is moving in.

The two key changes are:

Firstly, we are moving from three boxes on your FirstPage to one.  Within this box, the links that you see will be controlled by a new set of roles:

On top of that, we have really simplified a number of the processes.  As we get closer to 8.1 being released, look for webinars giving more details.

There are a bunch of cool new things going into Therap’s Training Management System (TMS) in 7.2

They include:

Import Training Records from Excel (See above)

First page count for ‘View Sign ups’ under Training Sessions in the My Training Class area

Use of the paging method in Old Certification page (to avoid scrolling – very cool!).

Automatically notify users through SComm when a training session date is changed (possibly even cooler!)

Sort user list by Last Name, First Name

Select criteria for report on Training Hours will include ‘Program Name’ as an option.

‘Select Training Session’ page will display sessions from current date onwards by default, and users will be able to view the previous ones using filter.

FirstPage count for ‘Certify Users’ link to show how many classes are pending certification.

There will also be some changes to the order of things withing the TMS Admin box to make them more logical.

 

If you have any questions or would like to know more, just get in touch
