TRAIN TRACK® Web Edition Help Manual

Parent/Child Modules

One of the advanced features of TRAIN TRACK® is the ability to set up parent/child modules. You may designate one training as a parent, or umbrella training, with multiple child modules, and you may indicate the number of child modules required in order for the parent to be considered complete. You may also use this feature to substitute one training for another.

If a training is designated as a parent with child modules, then when the parent is required, the child training is also required. When the designated number of child modules have been completed, the parent is also considered completed. When the parent is marked as completed, the child training is also considered completed.

To view Parent or Child records, follow these steps

1. From the navigation bar, select Reports
2. Open the report Training List with Children and Series.
3. You can see Children for each training. To see if a training has a Parent, click the Child Title or the Child Number heading to sort by child. You can now see if the training in question has a Parent.

Substitutions

You may substitute one training requirement for another by using the parent/child module feature. Simply select the first training and add the training that may be substituted for it as a child. When either training is completed, the first training will show a status of "complete".

Another option would be to create a new parent training and select both of the similar training titles as children, indicating that only one of the two needs to be completed.
