To all TMS users:

• CERTIFICATION REPORT: We have updated the Certification report, so that you have the option of just seeing trainees’ last certified date, instead of the previously  where you’d get pages and pages of the full history of dates for staff.  You’ll see the option as a check box at bottom of page after clicking ‘certification report’

• SESSION CREATION:  We’ve removed deactivated staff as options for instructors when creating new sessions.  Before, you would still see old inactive staff listed as instructors, but poof! they’re gone

Click here for the recorded webinar that was held yesterday. If you can’t make it to one of the upcoming sessions or just want to listen to it at your own pace, this will give you a rundown of all the updates we’ll be making to our Training Management System.. coming soon

If you’re using the Training Management System, be sure to sign up for one of these webinars where I’ll walk you through the updates that we’ll be making towards the end of September. If you’ve already watched some of the mini webinars, this will cover that stuff plus some Sign up for one here:

I’m still amazed at all the wonderful things we’re doing with TMS, and I’ve lost track of how many of the changes have come directly from you guys using it.  Here’s a couple more mini webinars on some of TMS updates that are coming soon… (A little bird told me we’re projecting it to release around mid September, if all goes as planned) Be sure to send us any comments or questions you have as you view these!

Here are two mini webinars on some of the Training Management System enhancements that we’re currently working on.  Just keep in mind that what you’re seeing is still in testing and not the final product.  Check back for more updates.

Ok, so if you know me then I’m sure you can guess just how excited I am about some Training Management System changes that are coming soon.  The majority of them have come straight out of the feedback from you guys using it, so it’s going to be great, of course.  We’re testing it out and going over things to optimize it now, but look out for training materials, webinars, splash messages, and/or announcements in the future, so that you can stay up to date on all the updates.   Here’s just a few of the new features that came directly from your feedback:  (These pics may not remain exactly the same when we roll it out, as we’re still in testing) Check out Justin’s Blog for some more pics

This is a really key change: You're going to be able to assign people to just classes or courses, rather than only being able to bundle those and assign them just curriculums. This is going to make it sooo much easier for setup, since you don't have to package everything in a curriculum if you don't want, and it's also going to make it loads easier for people who just need one class that may be different than their curriculum or course.

If you've ever tried to delete a class, course or curriculum, you're probably familiar with the message that something else is referring to it, and that you can't delete it. Well, no more of that! Now you can delete any of these, and it will show you who it will affect just to make sure you want to do that. Even if you delete a class it'll still show up in that person's deleted records. Pretty much everything is going to be trackable w/ this new TMS, which wasn't so easy before.

This may seem like a small fix, but I've gotten the feedback a lot. This will allow users, from their 'my training class' section, to print off a PDF of their training history.

Ok, this is one of the new report features we're adding. If you look at the shot of first page earlier, you can see we're adding quite a few, as that's a key request we've received. Anyway, this one is for all you training supervisors or admins who have ever been stumped as to why you can't sign someone up for a session, or want to find out if someone's signed up for that CPR session already. Now you can run a report by person or class, sign up, etc, and find out all the sessions that someone is currently signed up for, without having to go in under 'cancel signup' and open up each one. Phew!

Just in case you’re using TMS, I just wanted to give you all a heads up of the fix we made with this latest release.  Before this weekend, if you were using the ‘publish results’ section of TMS to certify people, the system would certify them the day that you published results rather than the day the actual class was held.  With this update, we’ve fixed it so that it actually certifies them the date the class was taken, which makes the most sense.

Any questions, feel free to get in touch.

Hi all,

We’re very sorry for the technical difficulties, but we’re working on the system to be back up ASAP. Due to it being down for the time being, the TMS webinar part 2 has been rescheduled to tomorrow at 2p Eastern.

Thanks
