The Learner Assignments Import provides administrators with an efficient way to assign training content to learners in bulk. This process allows admins to create new assignments or update existing ones without manually assigning content one learner at a time. Along with assigning content, admins can define start, end, and due dates, as well as reset a learner’s content status back to “Available.”
The Learner Assignments Export complements this feature by providing a list of all learners and their existing assignments, helping admins review, track, or update current training assignments.
