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 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 child is required, the parent 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 add a child module, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Training Detail screen to the training you wish to view.
