What Learning Activity Can I See With Widgets in the Overview Dashboard?

Learner and Completion Data

Overdue learners: The number of learners having at least one overdue learning item.
Total number of learners: The total number of learners in your account.
Course completion rate: The percentage of completed course enrollments.

Tip: Click the Overdue Learners or the Learning Status widget to see all overdue learners.

Learning Status

The Learning Status widget shows you a breakdown of all enrollments for courses, live training sessions, and checkpoints. Within the chart, you’ll see a breakdown of learner progress by percentage.

Notes:

Live training enrollments are considered Not Started until the user is registered for an upcoming session.
Checkpoints are considered In Progress once they're assigned.

Program Status

The Program Status widget shows enrollment status for all programs and a breakdown of learners by completion.

Note: The widget is specific to the completion status of the overall program, not the individual learning items within the program.

Live Training Health

The Live Training Health widget provides a visualization of the number of enrollments, registrations, and completed enrollments in live training sessions over a given period.

Monthly Enrollments

The Monthly Enrollments widget shows the number of enrollments in courses, programs, live training sessions, and checkpoints per month.

Program Health

The Program Health widget displays the number of enrollments above a certain percentage. For example, if there are 158 enrollments in the >50% column, it means that 158 learners have completed more than 50% of the learning items in that specific program.
