Create Modules

Overview

Zift PRM Training provides all the tools needed to create and deliver a comprehensive training program to internal staff, partners, and the public. Zift Training software can support either virtual or classroom training and allows both directed and on-demand training.

Modules are the basic building block of Zift PRM Training Manager. All Training Activities are composed of Modules.

Before You Begin 

• Log into PRM Admin with elementTask Level 2 rights or greater.
• You must set up a Course before you can create a Module. If no Courses exist, you will see this message: No courses have yet been set up. Please set up your courses before creating modules. All training material is associated with Modules, which can be either online or classroom-based. Online Modules will always have Courseware associated with them, and if required, a Quiz that will test partners on their knowledge attained from the Courseware.

How to Create Modules

The Module ID and Courses that contain the module items will be auto-populated by Zift PRM. Module ID is generated when the Module is first saved and cannot be modified. The Courses that contain this module will be updated when this Module is included or removed from Courses.

1. Navigate to Training > Modules.
2. In the Modules screen, do one of the following:
   1. To edit an existing Module click on it in the table
   2. To create a new Module click on Add.
      
      Figure: Modules screen from which you may add or edit Modules.
3. In the Module Editor, provide the following information: 
   
   

   Label		Type		Description
   Module Code		Text		A short code you set to help identify this Module.
   Module Title		Text		This is the only mandatory field. It is the name displayed to users in the Portal and can be translated if needed.
   Language		Drop-down List		This is the language of the Module.
   Module Description		Text		This is a longer description of the Module. It will also be displayed to Portal users and can be translated. Though optional, this information can save a lot of time and effort when managing the Module later.
