Integrated To-Dos

Automatic Todo Items

Courses and curriculums due for completion in the next 30 days automatically appear as a Todo item in the learner's 'Action Required' section.

Shared Todos for Direct Reports

Courses and curriculums due for completion by a user's direct reports will automatically appear as "Shared Todos of" filter in the Todos module. This integration streamlines the managerial oversight process, providing managers with a consolidated view of their team's training requirements.

Smart Reminders Integration

User's Todo reminder settings, accessible under 'Change My Settings > Smart Reminders,' are seamlessly integrated with LMS course Todo items. Enabling smart reminders ensures that users receive timely notifications for impending deadlines, contributing to a proactive and organized learning experience.

Automated Updates

Any newly assigned course with a due date within the next 30 or 90 days automatically populates your Action Center. Likewise, completed courses are promptly removed, keeping your list current and relevant.
