Import Training Requirement Records

TRAIN TRACK® allows you to import training requirement records from a template. When you import training requirement records, the training title or number, and employee name or ID number, or Job Title or Department, must match existing database records in order for the requirements to be recorded correctly.

Training Requirement Template Columns

The template used to import training requirement records includes the following columns:

Training Title: Training title.
Training Number: Training number.
Last Name: Employee last name.
First Name: Employee first name.
ID Number: Employee ID Number.
JobTitle: Required Job Title.
Department: Required Department.

.
Note that for each row where you have a training record, you may list an employee OR a job title OR a department. You do not need to list more than one of these. For example, if you are requiring the training for an individual, DO NOT include their job title or department unless you want everyone with that job title or department to complete the training. In that case, the employee name is not needed.
