Report columns represent each training subject you set out in your compliance reports that track training compliance for each subject. The system gives you full control over how, when, and what data is pulled into the reports.

Below are some useful steps on how to amend the configurations of a report column.

⚠️Important: You'll need certain permissions to access the Admin Tool and amend report columns. Raise a support case if you need access.

You can change the name of a report column at any time to reflect training and reporting requirements in your organisation.

  1. Sign in to the Admin Tool.

  2. Click Config.

  3. Click Reporting Columns.

  4. Locate the column.

  5. Click the pencil icon to the right of the column title.

  6. Type in the new title of the column.

  7. Click Save.

📌Note: Allow 2 hours for changes to sync with the reports.


Include courses, training records, or event titles

You can include new training titles, events, or courses to be picked up by an existing report column. Follow the steps below.

  2. Click Config.

  3. Click Reporting Columns.

  4. Locate the report column, then click to open it.

  4. Locate the report column and click on it to open.

  5. Scroll down to find the rule type drop-down box.

    • Mandatory: This shows as a mandatory requirement on the report and will appear overdue if training is incomplete, regardless of whether training is allocated to a user.

    • Allocated: Training data will only appear on the report if it's allocated to a user or if previously completed before a renewal period.
