Add and Edit Employee Training Information

This article details how to add or update Training Information for employees in Encompass®. Administrators can access an employee’s Training File via Drivers > Training and update items either individually—allowing notes and attachments—or by editing the full list of Training Items. For special cases, Ad-hoc Training Items can be added to a single employee’s Checklist. The system also supports bulk updates where a single Checklist Item can be updated for multiple employees at once, including completion dates, scores, grades, attachments, and notes. Care should be taken when using the "Clear All Data" option, as it will delete all entered information and attachments for the selected items.

 

To start, go to Drivers > Training.  Find the employee to add training information for by using the search field or locating them in the list.

Once the employee is found, click on their name.

The user will then be taken to the employee's training file. Note: The Checklist items are set up via Settings. See Encompass Training Setup for more information.

The training items for individual employees can be added in one of two ways:

  • Individually, which allows for notes to be added.
  • Edit full list, which does not allow for notes to be added.

 

Editing individual Training Items

Click on the name of the training item that needs updating.

Enter in the necessary information:

  1. Initial Training Date (mm/dd/yyyy format): Use this field for recurring items. This would be the first date the employee completed the training.
  2. Last Completed Date (mm/dd/yyyy format): Use this field for the date the item was last completed. Each training item needs this field completed if not using n/a.
  3. Due for Re-Training Date (mm/dd/yyyy format): Use this field for recurring items as well. This field stores the date the item is next due.
  4. Score: The numerical score needed in order to "pass".
  5. Grade: The system has two options available by default: pass/fail. Additional grades choices can be added by system administrators via Setup.
  6. Notes(optional): Enter any notes needed. It is recommended to keep these notes short, as typically only the first line of the notes will display on reports.
  7. Not Applicable: Use this field if the items really does not apply to this employee. When indicated, the system ignores the item completely for this employee.

Click Save when all needed items are entered.

Complete this for all of the items in the list and click Save.

 

Warning: Near the Save button, there will be a button for Clear All Data.  This will delete all entered information AND attachments contained in this list.  Be sure that this is the desired action before continuing.

Adding Ad Hoc Training Items

There may be occasions where specific training items only apply to a specific driver, but not to an entire job class.  These can be added by clicking Add New at the top of the checklist.

The user will then be taken to an Add Training Info page.  There will be a drop-down with a list of the training items that are not assigned to the employee's job class.  Select the appropriate training item that needs to be added.

Enter the necessary information and click Save to store the record.

Multiple Employee Training Update

A single training checklist item may be updated/completed for a large group of employees.

When you are on the Training Driver List, check the box next to each employee that needs a checklist item updated. You can use the filter options to narrow down results to a certain group, etc.
