WHAT'S NEW

Version 6.0

Revised login and registration process

TRAIN TRACK now authenticates users through their network login, so there is no need to type in a separate user name and password. This makes it more secure and easier to use. The setup process has also been streamlined with no trial registration code required.

Easier Navigation

If you sort a screen, your sort order will be saved for the next time you open the screen--for example, if you sort the employees by first name, or the trainings by number (only for the open database version; sort order cannot be saved in the standard version).There are now more links on the navigation bar, and a "back" button to return to the previous screen.

Add data on the fly

Add new departments and job titles by typing them right into the field; no need to open the edit screen.

User Levels

The program now includes four levels of access:

Administrator: The administrator can edit all records, and can also edit users and user levels.

Standard user: The standard user has the ability to edit all records.

Restricted user: The restricted user may only view reports for the employees under their direct supervision.

Employee: The employee may log on to take exams, open documents linked to each training, and review their own training status information. The employee does not need a license to use these features.

Select date ranges or criteria for reports

You may select a date range from a pop-up calendar for all completed training reports.There are also new summary reports with charts. For the custom reports, your logo is now displayed, and you may now select to include only required trainings, only completed trainings, or both.

Cost

You may now record costs for each individual employee training.

Send emails to supervisors

You may now send an email summary to all supervisors listing only their employees. If you enter email addresses for each supervisor, and select the supervisor associated with each employee from the employee screen, the program will generate individual reports for supervisors.

Assign multiple job titles

You may now assign multiple job titles for each employee. The requirements for all assigned job titles will be reflected for that employee.

Add requirements as a group

You may now select from a list of employees to insert requirements as a group. This function is similar to the current feature allowing you to add completion data as a group.

More Employee data

Employee type has been added, and you may also edit the list of available types. A new section has been added to record qualifications such as education, skills, experience, and certificates.

Lockout recovery tool

If the original user leaves your company, you will not be locked out of the program. You will be able to open the program with your original registration code to edit your user list.

.pdf help files

In addition to the html help files, the program now also comes with a .pdf version.

Department tracking

A change made to the name of a department will now automatically be reflected for all employees in that department

Link a document to each training

You may insert a link to a document for each training. This can be exam material to be reviewed by the employee, controlled documents, or any other type of file.
