How to sign-off and grade Employee Training submissions
Admins and Managers can grade short answer quiz questions and approve task sign-off requests in 7shifts Training on the web app or the mobile app. When an employee submits a short answer that needs grading, or completes a task that needs a manager sign-off, the request appears in the Needs review tab.
7shifts Employee Training is now available on the Premium plan! Admins and Managers can still create Lessons and Courses, but publishing, assigning, and other key actions require a Premium plan. You'll be prompted to upgrade when you hit one of these actions. Employees will no longer have access to Training on web or mobile until the account upgrades. All content and progress data is preserved, and once you're on Premium, you and your team can pick up right where you left off.
Things to know
Important: Managers and Assistant Managers require the permission "Can view training" to grade short answer quiz questions and approve task sign-offs in Training.
- Managers and Assistant Managers can only grade short answers and review task sign-offs for employees in their assigned Locations and Departments.
- The Training nav item and the Needs review tab show a badge with the number of pending requests. Approving a sign-off or grading a short answer updates the count right away.
