Virtual Training Assistant™ Online Help
This is the student page of the Team Management feature in VTA Learner. Team Management is a tool that allows organizations to group a set of related items together (a Team Management Group, or TMG) and provides Primary Supervisors an efficient way to apply a Risk Level Rating and a Student’s Preferred Language.
Approved ratings can potentially update a student's Team Assignments, which in turn can update their training requirements on the My Plan page in VTA Learner.
Items can be set as "Can be Managed", which allows Supervisors to adjust ratings as needed.
Items can also be set as "Mandatory", which will not allow Supervisors to select a rating; it is set as "Required".
The terms "My Team Manager",
"My Managed Teams", "Team Management Group" or "Primary
Supervisor" may be re-labeled by your organization. Contact your
System Administrator with further questions.
A student can be associated to more than one TMG.
Use the "Select Group" drop-down to select the TMG you would like to view and click Apply.
Once a TMG is loaded, you can export it to Microsoft Excel in one of the following sort orders by selecting a "Sort By" option and clicking Export:
The Team Management grid will always display each TMG Item and a Current column.
If the Primary Supervisor has sent a Draft for review, the Draft column will also be displayed here.
If an Item is associated with
a Reference Link, a page icon () will be visible on
its row. Clicking it will launch the document.
If an Item is not associated with a Reference Link, no icon will display.
If an Item is associated with
Item Notes, hovering or clicking
on the blue information icon () will display them in
a tooltip.
The blue information icons will always be displayed, whether there are Item Notes or not.
The Item Order number is displayed in this column.
You can re-order the grid by Order number by clicking the # header label.
By default, the grid is sorted by Item Order number.
The Item Name is displayed in this column.
You can re-order the grid by Name by clicking the Name header label.
The Current column shows the present state at launch of a TMG period or when the last Draft was approved by the supervisor.
The Last Updated date and the student's current Preferred Language is displayed in the column header.
The current state of their Risk Level Ratings are displayed for each Item.
The values in the Current column are updated when a Draft is approved.
The Draft column will not display if your supervisor has not sent the Draft for review.
It shows the present TMG ratings from the latest Draft saved by the supervisor.
You can re-order the grid by Risk Level by clicking the Risk Level header label.
If an Item can be rated ("managed"), the Risk Level Rating selected by the supervisor will be displayed. (See the Risk Level Rating Scale Values section below)
If an Item can not be rated (is "mandatory"), "Required" will be displayed (depending on your system's Rating Scale).
Rating Scales values can vary by client
system. Your system may use a completely different rating scale. For example,
you may see "Mandatory" or "Fixed" instead of "Required".
