I have been testing Genesis software with a spoof testing profile. It seems there is no system role or Admin permissions that just allows Line Managers to access the event calendar to add staff to training or to cancel too. The suggested system role of Trainer allows staff to find/manage/create content, this is too much power to give to Line Managers who are managing their staffs training and local care rota's. We would have some managers with less IT skills interfering with event programmes and events themselves.
We need a Line Manager system role specifically for adding to existing events not access to all Content.
In its current format Genesis is not suitable for our company with over 550 staff and 30 teams.
Please vote for this 'Idea' as essential work to the software to protect your data.
I have now been informed there is a Line Manager role from within the site.
For our Managers to get to the Events Calendar to add staff to training there is an enormous amount of steps to get there. The 1st list of steps provided were incorrect from the development team which I have fed back, these are the correct steps:
Click on Learning tab
Click on Check In
Activity Log at top of tab
Search for the User
Action box appears click add activity
Content menu appears left hand side
Click Events Manager
Calendar appears to then be able to add ‘any’ staff onto event (not just searched staff)
This is quite absurd, currently on Access LMS our Line Managers click Learning tab > Learning > Events calendar
I have requested that an Events Manager link is placed onto the 'Check In' area next to Activity Log.
So my initial support case sent me here to provide an Idea (again), what I was requesting does exist, hmm why was I not told that instead of being sent here.
Further guidance provided was incorrect of how to get to the Events Calendar, so I worked it out myself. The steps to get from A to B are now 8 instead of current 3, my training colleagues have remarked 'how more difficult have Access made this'?
What is actually happening with the release of this new software called Genesis but not now going to be called Genesis although it is still called Genesis on the site?
