Welcome to Isolocity's Support

What is a Training Type, and why is it important in the Isolocity system?

• A Training Type is a category that helps organize and manage different kinds of training programs within the Isolocity system. It allows you to classify training based on specific needs, such as compliance, technical skills, or leadership development. Properly defining Training Types ensures that programs are categorized accurately, making it easier to manage, track, and report on training activities.

How do I begin the process of adding a new Training Type?

• To add a new Training Type, log in to the Isolocity system and navigate to the "Training Programs" section. From there, click on "Manage Training Types," and then select "Create Training Type" to open the setup interface. Here, you can define and configure the new Training Type according to your organization’s requirements.

What information do I need to provide when creating a new Training Type?

• When creating a new Training Type, you will need to provide:

  • Name: A clear and descriptive name for the Training Type.

  • Status: The current status of the Training Type (e.g., active, inactive).

How do I ensure the new Training Type aligns with organizational goals?

• To align the Training Type with organizational goals, consult with relevant departments to identify the training needs that the new type should address. Ensure that the type supports key competencies, compliance requirements, and strategic objectives. Aligning Training Types with organizational goals ensures that training efforts are targeted and effective.

Why is it important to set the status of the Training Type to active?

• Setting the status of the Training Type to "Active" ensures that it is available for use when creating new training programs. An active status means that the Training Type is ready for immediate implementation, while an inactive status may indicate that the type is under development or no longer in use.

How do I name a Training Type appropriately?

• The name of the Training Type should be descriptive, clear, and reflective of the training content it categorizes. Avoid using ambiguous or overly complex terms. A well-chosen name helps users quickly identify the correct type when setting up training programs, facilitating smoother operations.

Can I create multiple Training Types, and if so, how should they be organized?

• Yes, you can create multiple Training Types to cover different training needs within your organization. Organize them by category, such as compliance, safety, technical skills, or leadership. This organization ensures that each type is used consistently and appropriately, enhancing the effectiveness of your training programs.

How do I update an existing Training Type?

• To update an existing Training Type, navigate to the "Manage Training Types" section, select the type you wish to modify, and make the necessary changes. These updates might include renaming the type, changing its status, or refining its description. Keeping Training Types up-to-date ensures they remain relevant and useful.

How do I ensure consistent use of Training Types across the organization?

• To ensure consistent use, provide clear guidelines on how each Training Type should be applied. Training and communication with department heads and HR personnel will help reinforce these guidelines. Regular audits of training programs can also help identify and correct any inconsistencies in how types are being used.

How do I manage permissions for accessing and modifying Training Types?

• Permissions for accessing and modifying Training Types can be managed through the system’s role-based access controls. This ensures that only authorized personnel can create, edit, or delete Training Types, maintaining the integrity of your training management system.

What impact does adding a new Training Type have on existing training programs?

• Adding a new Training Type can enhance existing training programs by providing more precise categorization and alignment with specific training needs. However, it’s important to review and update any relevant programs to ensure they are categorized correctly under the new type.

How do I ensure that Training Types are aligned with industry standards?

• To align Training Types with industry standards, research relevant guidelines and best practices within your industry. Consult with compliance officers or industry experts to ensure that your Training Types accurately reflect these standards, supporting both regulatory compliance and best practices.

What are the benefits of customizing Training Types for different departments?

• Customizing Training Types for different departments allows for more targeted and effective training. Each department can have types that reflect their specific needs, such as technical training for IT, safety training for operations, or customer service training for support teams. This customization improves relevance and engagement in training activities.

How do I communicate changes in Training Types to my team?

• Changes in Training Types can be communicated through system notifications, emails, or training sessions. Providing clear instructions on why the changes were made and how they will affect the setup of new training programs will help ensure a smooth transition and continued compliance with training protocols.

Can I archive a Training Type that is no longer in use?

• The training type can be set to “inactive”

How do I name Training Types to avoid confusion?

• When naming Training Types, use clear, descriptive titles that directly reflect the content or purpose of the training. Avoid abbreviations, jargon, or overly broad terms that could lead to confusion. Consistency in naming conventions across all Training Types also helps reduce misunderstandings.

How do I handle Training Types that overlap in content?

• If Training Types overlap in content, consider whether they can be consolidated into a single type or if distinct subtypes can be created. Clear distinctions in the description and application of each type can also help manage overlaps and ensure that programs are categorized correctly.

What are the potential challenges of managing multiple Training Types?

• Managing multiple Training Types can be challenging if there is a lack of clarity in their definitions or inconsistent application across the organization. Regular audits, clear guidelines, and ongoing training for those who manage the training programs can help mitigate these challenges and ensure effective use of Training Types.

How do I review and update Training Types over time?

• Training Types should be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure they remain relevant and aligned with organizational needs. This review might involve assessing their usage, gathering feedback from users, and making adjustments based on changes in industry standards or organizational goals.

How do I ensure that new Training Types are effectively integrated into the existing training framework?

• To integrate new Training Types effectively, communicate their purpose and application to all relevant stakeholders, update any related documentation or training materials, and provide training sessions if necessary. Regular monitoring and feedback collection will help ensure that the new types are being used correctly and are adding value to the training framework.
