The Manager Experience is a manager-focused view of LMS learners. It allows your people leaders access to their team’s learning data in a simplified and user-friendly workflow. The Manager Experience enforces a concept of a user hierarchy, where you can define the relationship between Managers and the Users they oversee instead of having to use the department hierarchy for user management.

• The Manager Role will define the scope of access available to a Manager in the Manager Experience so that Admins can provide an appropriate level of access to each Manager.
• Managers will be able to access an overview of enrollment data for their team, along with user-specific training results which can be filtered to display the most relevant scope of data.
• Managers can enroll their learners into content as well as send messages to remind them of upcoming deadlines or other important information.
• Managers can access the Manager Experience directly, or by navigating to it from one of the other LMS Experiences, this article outlines login and navigation options in more detail.

Overview Dashboard

The Overview Dashboard enables Managers to get a quick snapshot of their team’s enrollments and enables them to use each widget as a filter to drill down into the Learners View and focus on the data that’s most relevant to them. 

Note: The ability to drill down into the Learners View is only available when viewing Direct Reports.
