TRAIN TRACK® Web Edition Help Manual
Introduction
What is TRAIN TRACK®?
TRAIN TRACK® gives you the tools you need to make sure training requirements are met.
- Quickly see what training is needed or completed.
- Assign required training by department, job title, or individual.
- Allow employees to enroll in classes and take electronic exams.
- Automatically notify employees of training due.
TRAIN TRACK® consists of two main data sets, Training records and Employee records. The relationships that you set up between these two data sets determine what training is required, completed, or needed for each employee.
Just enter or import your data:
- List of Employees
- List of Training
- Training Completion Dates
Assign required training by:
- Job title
- Department
- Individual
TRAIN TRACK® will do the rest:
- Determine what training is needed for each employee
- Determine when/if each training expires
- Track the status of each requirement:
- Needed
- Scheduled
- Completed
- Failed (if an exam is required)
- Expired
- Expiring soon
- Maintain records of all completed training, required or not
- Generate reports to print, export, or email
Overview
What Training is Required?
Most organizations have some type of training requirements, either mandated by a regulatory body such as the FDA, required by law, for a certification process such as ISO, or to ensure that internal procedures are followed and that each employee knows how to carry out their job functions. To comply with these requirements, each employee needs to be assigned a specific set of training to complete, sometimes called a "training profile".
TRAIN TRACK® allows you to assign training requirements by job title, department, or individually. It gives you further control by allowing employees to have multiple job titles, adding exceptions to requirements for individuals or by hire date, and setting up groups of required training. You may also limit training to one specific location.
What Training has been Completed?
TRAIN TRACK® maintains records of completed training. You may record completed training by entering a completion date, importing records from Excel®, or allowing employees to log in and take an exam or verify that they have completed the training materials.
What Training is Needed?
Once you have added your training requirements and your training completions, TRAIN TRACK® can tell you what training is still needed, what will be due soon, and what is already completed or scheduled. It also allows you to set due dates for needed training, and to require periodic re-training.
Available Editions
TRAIN TRACK® is available with a desktop interface and a web-based interface. The web interface may be used alone, or in combination with the desktop interface. This manual covers the web interface only. The desktop interface is covered in a separate manual. Different features are available in each edition. All editions are also available as customizable applications.
Licenses
Database License
The basic TRAIN TRACK® database license allows you to have one database, with one set of data. You may keep backup copies of the same set of data.
User License
Named Users
TRAIN TRACK® is licensed for individual named users (not concurrent users). Each person who uses TRAIN TRACK® needs to have their own user license. This applies to all user levels except exam-level users. Licenses are transferrrable. If you have a change in personnel, you may transfer an unused license to a new employee.

Exam-Level Users
Employees who are only logging in to take an exam or view their own status as exam-level users do not currently need their own user license.
Location License
TRAIN TRACK® allows you to track data from multiple locations within one database. If you wish to restrict users to only viewing training and employee records from one location, you will need a location license for each additional location beyond your primary location.
