Install Defaults – Notifications Page

LM_IN_NOTIF_DFLT

Define email configuration for Notifications page.

Payment Methods Page

LM_SYS_PYT_MTHD_DF

Define default payment methods for an organization.

Defining default values provides a convenient way to assign consistent business rules to classes. Most entries that you make in the Install Defaults component become the default values for selected fields that are within the learning environment, course, delivery method, class, and program components. Default values for certain fields have a cascading effect. For example, the language that is selected on the Install Defaults page becomes the default language for the learning environment, which becomes the default language for the delivery method. In most cases, you can override the default value at another level. For example, you can override the default language at the learning environment level, the delivery method level, or both.

The following table shows where various install default values are used throughout the system:

Install Defaults - General Tab

Field or Control

Description

Manager Access Type

Select the management reporting structure that you want Enterprise Learning Management to recognize. The choice should be consistent with the management structure that the human resources system uses. The option that you select determines which internal learners a manager sees when accessing the manager self-service pages. It also determines who must approve enrollment when a class requires manager approval, and which manager receives enrollment notifications.

After you make a selection, you must also run the Load Manager Data (LM_MGRVWAE) process, through the Load Manager Data component, to update the manager view definition with the appropriate script based on the manager access type that you select here.

Options are:

  • Dept/Mgr (department manager): When you select this option, learners are listed on their department manager's self-service pages.

    The system identifies the learner's department manager by checking the LM_PERSON_JOB table for the learner's department and then checking the PS_LM_ORGANIZATION table for the manager ID.

  • Reports To: When you select this option, learners are listed on the self-service pages of the person that they report to, as identified in the Reports To field on the PS_LM_PERSON_JOB table.

  • Sup/Rpts To (supervisor/reports to): When you select this option, learners are listed on their supervisor's self-service pages if a supervisor is identified in the Supervisor field on the PS_LM_PERSON_JOB table.

    If no supervisor is named, learners are listed on the pages of the person that they report to, as identified in the Reports To field on the PS_LM_PERSON_JOB table.

  • Supervisor: When you select this option, learners are listed on their supervisor's self-service pages.

    The system identifies the supervisor by checking the learner's PS_LM_PERSON_JOB table.

You can import the Reports To and Supervisor ID fields from PeopleSoft HCM by using Enterprise Integration Points (EIPs). If you use a third-party human resources system, and want to use an option other than Dept/Mgr, map the Reports To and Supervisor ID fields in the PS_LM_PERSON_JOB table to corresponding fields in the human resources system before importing your data.

See Understanding Person and Organization Data.

New User Learning Environment

The system assigns this value by default as the learning environment for all new departments that you import through the DEPT_SYNC or DEPT_FULLSYNC Enterprise Integration Points (EIPs). You can change the learning environment for departments on the Review Departments page.

Note: To complete this field, you must first define learning environments. When completing the Install Defaults page for the first time, you can leave this field empty and return to this page in Update mode after you create learning environments.

See Defining Learning Environments.

Language Code

Select the default language for classes. The system uses this value as the default value for learning environments and delivery methods of a class.

Contact Us Email Address

To enable Enterprise Learning Management users to send email inquiries about various aspects of the learning system to a central email address, enter the address here. Entering the address here causes the system to display the Contact Us link at the bottom of some self-service pages, including the enrollment pages and learning plan pages.

Estimated Cost

This field pertains to training plan budget reports. Enter the estimated cost, per learner, of delivering a class. When you generate a training plan that includes classes for which no estimated hourly amount is defined, the system can use this value to determine the forecasted cost for the class. You can override this value at the learning environment, course, and delivery method levels.

Course Code Option

Specify whether the same course code can be assigned to more than one course. Options are:

  • Allowed: Item codes do not need to be unique.

  • Restricted: Prevents administrators from assigning the same code to more than one course in the catalog.

  • Restricted by LE (restricted by learning environment): Prevents administrators from assigning the same code to more than one course within the same learning environment.

Country

Select the default country code that is to be used for addresses. PeopleSoft provides an Enterprise Integration Point (EIP) that you can use to synchronize country codes with the system of record (for example, PeopleSoft HCM).

See Understanding Person and Organization EIPs.

Class Code Option

Specify whether the same class code can be assigned to more than one class. Options are:

  • Allowed: Class codes do not need to be unique.

  • Restricted: Prevents administrators from assigning the same code to more than one class in the catalog.

  • Restricted by LE (restricted by learning environment): Prevents administrators from assigning the same code to more than one class within the same learning environment.

Combination Edit

Combination editing enables the system to validate Chartfield values that are dependent on each other. This field integrates with PeopleSoft Financials applications. Select Synch Edit to activate synchronization of the Enterprise Learning Management combination editing tables with PeopleSoft Financials combination editing tables. The system validates sets of Chartfield values against the Chartfield combination editing rules that are defined in PeopleSoft Financials whenever you save an Enterprise Learning Management page that has ChartFields. Select None if you do not want to synchronize the combination editing table. For example, perhaps you have a third-party financial system.

See Setting Up Financial ChartField Data.

Program Code Option

Specify whether the same program code can be assigned to more than one program. Options are:

  • Allowed: Program codes do not need to be unique.

  • Restricted: Prevents administrators from assigning the same code to more than one program in the catalog.

  • Restricted by LE (restricted by learning environment): Prevents administrators from assigning the same code to more than one program within the same learning environment.

Hourly Cost

This field pertains to training plan budget reports. Enter the estimated hourly cost, per learner, of delivering a class. When you generate a training plan, the system can use this value to determine the forecasted cost for a class based on the hours defined for each of the class's components on the Recommended Duration page. You can override this value at the learning environment and delivery method levels.

Default Import Delivery Method

Select a default delivery method for classes created using class templates.

See Defining Class Templates.

Maximum Rows Returned for Search

Enter the maximum number of rows that the system returns during searches.

Default Import Keyword Type

Select a default keyword type for classes created using class templates. Keywords are an optional feature used to help learners and administrators find specific learning options in the learning catalog.

See Defining Class Templates.

Objectives Group Assignment Maximum

Enter the maximum number of learners to which an administrator can assign the same learning objective through group objective assignment. During group objective assignment, if the group of learners exceeds the number that is set here, the system warns the administrator that the group exceeds the limit. The administrator then has the option to continue with the assignment for learners up to the maximum, switch to mass objective assignment, or refine the group criteria to achieve a group that is within the limits.

POI Default Department ID (person of interest default department ID)

Select the department to associate with internal learners who do not have a department ID in your HR application. (Typically, these are persons of interest without jobs.) The learning environment for these learners will be derived from the department specified here, instead of from the New User Learning Environment field. An internal learner's department controls chargeback information for enrollment fees. It may also determine who approves a learner's enrollment and registration requests.

If a department is later assigned to the learner in the HR application, the department is uploaded into the learner's profile in Enterprise Learning Management. The learning environment is not automatically updated; you can change it on the learner's Job Data page, if necessary.

If this field is cleared, and you try to import a learner without a department, the import validation process will generate an error, preventing creation of the learner profile.

Note: To complete this field, you must first import departments from the HR application. When completing the Install Defaults page for the first time, you can leave this field empty and return to this page in Update mode after you import departments.

Currency Rate Type

Select the market rate type to identify the exchange rate table to use for currency conversions. You can purchase currency conversion tables from third-party vendors. The system displays OFFIC as the default value.

To illustrate the use of this field, suppose that you define a class with currency code of USD and assign the class an instructor who has a currency code of CAD. The system uses the table that you specify here to look up the exchange rate to apply to the instructor's fee.

Currency Code

Enter the default currency code that applies to the fees and costs that are associated with classes and programs. An administrator can override this value at the learning environment, delivery method, class, and program levels.

PeopleSoft provides an Enterprise Integration Point (EIP) that you can use to synchronize currency codes with the system of record (for example, PeopleSoft HCM).

See Understanding Person and Organization EIPs.

Drop Down Value Count

Enter the maximum number of values to display in some of the drop-down value lists in the system. Sort order is determined by ID.

Note: This value applies only to certain drop down lists in the system, not all of them.

Ratings and Reviews

Select how you want to implement the review framework for your system.

  • None: Select to disable the ability of learners to enter ratings or reviews for learning items.

  • Ratings Only: Select to enable learners to enter ratings for learning items.

  • Ratings and Reviews: Select to enable learners to enter ratings and written reviews for learning items.

Auto Hide Reviews after

Enter the number of flags after which the system hides a review.

Users can flag reviews on the Review Details Page.

Calendar Integration

Select the type of calendar integration you want for your system. Values are:

  • File: Select to enable the system to send an iCalendar file as an attachment with notification emails that it sends to learners and instructors.

    The system attaches the file to the Enrollment Confirmation (LM_ENRLMT_CMPL_ILT template) notification email that it sends to learners upon successful enrollment in a class. It attaches the file to the Class Scheduled for Instructor (LM_ACT_INST_SCHED template) notification email when you assign a class to an instructor.

  • None: Select to disable calendar integration.

  • Outlook: This option is no longer supported.

Navigation:

Set up ELM > Install Defaults > Attendance

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Install Defaults – Attendance page.

Install Defaults - Attendance Tab

For each type of learning component, select the attendance status values that you want the Auto Mark Class Completion process to assign to a learner's attendance record when the process determines that the learner has attended, not attended, or initiated attendance in the learning component. The attendance values that you select are based on the values that you define on the Attendance Schemes page. For an attendance scheme, you can create multiple labels for each of these three core attendance statuses—attended, did not attend, and unknown—and you can give each one a label that specifically meets the needs of your organization's learning environment for a given learning component. When you run the Auto Mark Class Completion process, the engine uses the values that you set on the Install Defaults - Attendance page to mark attendance for learners.

For all learning component types but session, the Auto Mark Class Completion process can track initial attendance. Therefore, you can define the initial attendance status for these component types on this page. For sessions, however, instructors track attendance and enter the data into the system. To save instructors time, the Auto Mark Class Completion process automatically marks all learners as attended for sessions. Instructors can then mark learners as not attended.

If you deselect this check box, the status of parent program is not based on the status of child programs. With this check box deselected, the system sets the status of parent programs as follows:

  • If one or more child programs has a status of Expired, the system sets the status of the parent program to Not Completed.

  • If one or more child classes has a status of Enrolled, the system sets the status of the parent program to In-Progress.

  • If one or more child programs has a status of Revoked, the system sets the status of the parent program to Revoked.

Note: This check box is available only if you select the Allow Nested Programs check box. You can override this option at the program level on the Maintain Programs - Details page.

Allow Cascading Expirations

Select to permit administrators to define different expiration rules for each section of courses within a certification program. If this check box is cleared, administrators can define only one set of expiration rules for an entire program. This option can be overridden for a particular learning environment on the Learning Environment - Defaults page.

Audit Certification Status Changes

This feature enables you to track changes to a learner's program certification status. Administrators can produce the Certification Compliance (LMREGAUD) report, which lists each status change along with the learner's name, the date the status was changed, and the name of the person who updated the status.

If you deselect the check box, the system will not store audit information for status changes. This option is selected by default.

Require eSignature on Updates

Select to enable administrators to activate the eSignature sign-off feature for a program. When eSignature is activated, administrators must enter their password when manually updating a learner's program status. This option can be overridden for a particular learning environment on the Learning Environment - Defaults page.

Re-Evaluate Completed Registration

If you select this check box, the Send New Program Updates Notification (LM_CERT_UPD) process checks completed programs to see if the requirements have changed.

Install Defaults - Counter Records (Page 5 of 5)

Enterprise Learning Management automatically assigns an ID number or counter to many records as they are created. Initially, counters are set to 0 or 1000, depending on the type of record. When a new record is created, the system increments the counter by one. For example, if the Learner ID is set to 1000, when you add a new learner, the system assigns the learner ID, 1001. The ID numbers that were last assigned are always displayed on the Install Defaults – Counter Records page.

You can adjust the counters if necessary. For example, if during implementation you need to import legacy records that already have IDs, you can set the counter to a number higher than the last legacy ID. This ensures that the system will assign a unique ID to each new record that you add in Enterprise Learning Management.

Note: The system incrementally increases all counters for any internal Enterprise Learning Management processes. It does not increment IDs for data that you load from external sources through external means, such as through Structured Query Language.

Field or Control

Description

Fix Counters

This button initiates a program that analyzes the records that use counters and make corrections should the counters get out of sync. Counter records can occasionally get out of sync if you are loading or modifying data via scripts (typically during implementation).

Course and Class Codes

Field or Control

Description

Course Code

Enter a value in this field to enable the automatic generation of course codes. The value you enter here becomes the prefix for the course codes of all new courses that you create.

Extension

When you create a new course, the system increments this counter by one and appends that number to the Course Code value to create a unique course code for a new course. For example, if you enter PSFT in the Course Code field and the current number in the Extension field is 0, the system assigns a course code of PSFT-1 to the next course that you create.

Create Class Code from Course Code

Select to enable the automatic generation of class codes. The system generates class codes based on the automatically generated course codes. For example, the first class created for the PSFT-1 course code would have a class code of PSFT-1-1.
