We just added a new feature that allows you to more easily change a participant’s access to a course. Regardless of the way the content was assigned to a user — because of a purchase or because they qualified for a rule-based assignment — you can now easily change the due date and last day of access.<\/p>\n

Many of our clients sell access to their e-learning courses for a set amount of time. This may be 30 days, or a year, or somewhere in-between. While Firmwater LMS can be configured to send reminders to participants that have not completed courses, there will always be people that don’t get them done on time.<\/p>\n

Our clients sometimes get requests for extensions. This new feature allows for better management of these.<\/p>\n

How to change access<\/h3>\n

The next time a learner requests an extension of their access to a course, here’s how you can accommodate them:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the ‘Content’ tab and select the relevant course. Drill down to see the list of participants.<\/li>\n
  2. Check off the users you wish to change access for and use the Change access<\/em> bulk operation in the drop-down at the bottom of the list.<\/li>\n
  3. You are now prompted to change the due date and end date for the selected users. Add an optional note to help you track changes, and save.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It’s as simple as that!<\/p>\n

    As an administrator, you can also change access for a user from the user’s ‘Training Plan’ details.<\/p>\n

    \n
