Auto-Enrollment: FULL GUIDE

Article summary

Overview

Auto-Enrollment simplifies and expedites the process of assigning a single, or collection of, assignments to any given learner. Instead of manually loading or importing learners into their respective assignments, you can create URL and QR code that directs learners to a curriculum so they can click-to-enroll themselves.  Once you create a URL/QR code combo for your curriculum, it can be delivered to an unlimited number of learners over an indefinite time period (or until you choose to deactivate it).

Auto-Enrollment does not automate the process of importing users to the Skyllful platform.  Learners must be manually loaded prior to utilizing Auto-Enrollment unless your organization also uses our Auto-Provisioning functionality:  Auto-Provisioning for SSO Authenticators

  3. Enabling & Using Auto-Enrollment

Accessing the Auto-Enrollment UI

To access Auto-Enrollments, open the [Users] interface via the Quick Links at the bottom of any learning program screen.

Click [Auto-Enrollment Links].

To create your first auto-enrollment, use the [+] icon.

Setting Up Auto-Enrollment

Auto-Enrollment consists of a group of components.  There are 2 interfaces: (1) Settings - as seen below, and (2) Enrollees - which displays a list of learners who have self-enrolled using the URL or QR code.  In the example below, the Enrollees interface is inactive because this auto-enrollment is in draft form.

There are 3 primary components to setting up an auto-enrollment: 
ENROLLMENT PARAMETERS (red)
The name and availability dates for this enrollment
LEARNER PROFILE DATA (purple)
Data that may be added to, or alter, a learner's profile when they use the link/QR code to access the assigned curriculum
ASSIGNMENTS (green)
An enrollment can include 1, or more, assignments

ENROLLMENT PARAMETERS
NAME
This is an identifier for the enrollment link/QR code.  It should be something that helps you identify this assignment/group of assignments and the learners who are intended to be enrolled.
AVAILABLITY
The start date represents the go-live date for the enrollment link/QR code.  To create an end date, you need to check the box and set a date.  Otherwise, the enrollment will work indefinitely (or until you make a change to this setting).

LEARNER PROFILE DATA
TAGS
Tags are optional and can be added to any user who auto-enrolls in a curriculum set.  There are no limits to how you use your tags, or how many tags you add to someone's profile.  *Reminder, if you return to the settings and alter tags, or any other field, in the future - changes will not be retroactive.  
FALLBACKS (mandatory)
If a user is already in the system when they use an auto-enrollment link to access curriculum, the fallback data will populate their profile's manager and role fields if either is empty.  Fallback assignments are mandatory because manager and role fields are a requirement of learner profiles.  

Fallbacks are a safety net for fringe cases where someone who is already loaded into Skyllful (perhaps as an administrator) auto-enrolls into a curriculum and needs a manager or role assigned to complete their learner profile. 
OVERRIDES (optional)
if a user is already in the system when they use an auto-enrollment link, the override provides administrators the option to program a change of manager or role.  This feature could help with training program maintenance as employees promote or change roles.  

Example - if a driver becomes a supervisor - you could override the role for anyone who auto-enrolls through the supervisor training to have a role change to 'crew supervisor'.  Note - this will not reflect in your personnel management system - it only impacts the learner's Skyllful profile.

ASSIGNMENTS

You can create a URL/QR auto-enrollment for a single assignment, or for an entire curriculum set.  To add each assignment to the enrollment, simply tap the [+] icon in the upper right.

Launching & Using Auto-Enrollment

Once you have completed the auto-enrollment setup form, click [Update] to save your enrollment and then activate the [Enabled] toggle.

If you scroll back to the top, you will see 2 new sections containing a code and URL/QR codes for both web access and application-based learners.
CODE
The code is generated upon enrollment creation; but can be customized.  Notice the code is the identifier at the end of the URL.  

Upon creating an auto-enrollment, the Enrollees interface also became active. Once an enrollment has gone active and been used, you can click on it to see a list of learners who have used the URL or QR code to enroll themselves.
