My Account
Provided the form was filled in properly, you will see a confirmation screen informing you that your registration is complete. Click Continue to go to the newly created My Account screen.
Once there, the Learning Activities area will populate.
Note: This may take a few minutes and may require a refresh of the screen.
The My Account screen serves as the home base. Here, you can view the required courses, completed courses, information regarding due dates and expiration dates.

My Profile
Click on My Profile to open the first of a series of editable screens, which make up the original registration information. Here you may edit or add any of the information. Broken into four screens, click the tab for the screen you wish to review. Make any desired changes. When all is satisfactory, click Save Changes. Provided all information is correctly entered, you will receive a prompt indicating a successful change.
Learning Activities
As mentioned earlier, you can view your progress. Viewing the tabs (arrow, fig. 4), we can see that this user has 31 required courses and post tests. Of the 31, three have been completed.
When a course or post test is completed, it is moved from the main, Enrolled list to the
Completed list. Click the tab to view the details.
We also see a due date and an expiration date for each Course and Post Test. Upon registration, each course and Post Test is assigned an expiration date one year beyond the registration date. This is not an expiration date assigned by your administrator. The Due
Date assigned is one month before the expiration date. Once the due date has passed, the
Course or Post Test will move to the Overdue tab. While not yet expired, this gives you a

Simplifi 797® warning that this course is approaching its expiration. Once the expiration date has passed, it will move to the Expired tab, and you will no longer be able to access this Course or Post Test.
However, when an expiration date has passed, whether or not you’ve completed the Course or
Post Test, you will automatically be reenrolled, and a new expiration date will be assigned.
My Transcript
Clicking My Transcript will open a separate window displaying details of the completed courses, including course title, status, completion date, lesson, and completion status. Note that here we can now see each individual lesson associated with the completed course.

Administrator Menu
If you are an administrative user, you will have some extra choices on your dashboard. In addition to the Home and My Account buttons, you will see Reports and Administrator Menu.
In the Administrator menu, the main function is the management of users. To display the users, click the Users link.
You will see a list of all users, along with their user name and email. At the right you will see three icons. Disconnect allows you to disconnect an active user. Login allows you to log in as that user. Note that if the user is currently logged in, as indicated by the red icon, an administrator cannot log in - as indicated by the greyed-out key.
View allows you to view and edit a users account information, or profile.
Figure 10
By default, users are listed alphabetically by last name.
Clicking on any of the first three headings will re-sort the list by the chosen column's contents.
Subsequent clicks on the same heading will reverse the order.
Editing User Account
To edit a user's account, click the Pencil icon adjacent to the desired user's name in the list.
Notice the four tabs at the left: Account Info, Contact Info, Employee Info, and Other. this is essentially the same screen used when registering, with a few differences, and it is split into four separate parts. For example, in Account Info, below the password, notice the Force user to
change at next login selection. If a user has forgotten their password, the administrator can select this checkbox. On this user's next login, they will be prompted to create a new password.
Or, if preferred, the administrator can simply create the new password for the user. Another difference here is the Expires date.
To set a specific date:
•
First uncheck the Never Expires checkbox.
• Select the expiration month from the first dropdown enter the day, and select the year from the second dropdown.
• You may save at any time, or move to the next screen.

The main difference between the user's Contact Info screen and the administrator's is that there are several additional phone number fields here.
Depending on the type of records your facility keeps, there are some additional fields in the
Employee Info area (Employee ID and Region), and the ability to indicate the supervisor for the employee. To select a supervisor:
• Click Select User
• Choose the supervisor's name from the resulting list.
•
When selected, click OK.
Finally, the Other screen's fields are identical to the registration page. Here we can make sure that this user has entered their eProfile number. This, along with the correct birth month and date is required for this user to earn Continuing Education credits upon completion of
CriticalPoint post tests.
When all is satisfactory, click Save Changes. Provided the form was filled in properly, you will see a confirmation screen. From here, you may navigate anywhere in the program via the dashboard buttons.

Reports
The administrator has ability to track users' progress and document their results, with the ability to report on essentially who has completed what.
Figure 11
On the left, we can view saved reports and subscriptions, both of which will be explained shortly. On the right we see reports on certificates earned, transcripts of courses taken, and user demographics.
The program comes with the Course Status and Lesson Usage reports already loaded. You can use these as they are, edit them, and create several other types. For our example, let's start by looking at a course status report.
Click on the Course Status Report link (arrow, fig. 11). The screen shown in fig. 12 will display.
We can set search criteria for the report, which will be explained in the Creating Reports
section, beginning on page 15. Also, anything checked in the Fields list will show as an
information column in the report. When all is satisfactory, click Run Report.

Depending on the search size, the time taken to create the report will vary. Once generated, you will have three choices:
• You can view the report in HTML format
• You can open the report in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel
• or you can save it in a comma-separated value format for use with a spreadsheet program
If HTML is chosen, your report is displayed displayed along with other information including
Company, Course, enroll date, lesson information and lesson status - whatever was chosen in the Fields area.
Like other lists, clicking on a column heading will arrange the list alphanumerically, according to that column's contents.
Subsequent clicks on the same heading will reverse the order.

The filters area lets you narrow your search by entering filter criteria. For our example, we will choose Department (fig. ).
• Open the Filters dropdown menu and choose the filter. It will now appear in the field.
• Click the green Plus icon. The chose filter will appear below.
Notice that we've selected "match any" and entered the department name after the
"contains" operator. This search will only display users in the chosen department name.
• When ready, select Save Settings
•
Give your report a name
•
Select Public or Private. In most cases Private is preferred. If saved as public, the report template will be available globally to any report administrators who use this training site, not just those in your facility. Users will only have access to user data specific to their group, so no data will be shared. For this reason, we suggest you save all user-created reports as private.
• When all is satisfactory, click Save Changes.
Figure 14
Your new report will appear here and you may view or edit it at any time.
When a report is run, you will recall that you have several choices, one of which is to Save. If chosen, the selected report will save to a comma-separated value file and can later be opened in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel. These files will be saved in the files area.
Here, you may access the reports much as you would from the original selection when first run.
And like other lists, you can select and delete as desired.
You can subscribe to these reports as well. As an administrator, you may wish to check periodically check user progress. This will come in the form of emails with links to the report results. To do so, begin by turning the subscription function On.
Next, select the date and time that you wish these notifications to begin, and their frequency.
When all is satisfactory, click Update Subscription
Provided all is filled out correctly, you will receive a prompt indicating a successful save, and your messages will be enabled.
