Use the Learner Log
Use the Learner Log to record information relevant to a learner at your institution (for example: this can include recording medical information, field trip details or behaviour information).
The Learner Log can be accessed from the following:

-
The Learner Log button on the Learner Manager ribbon
From the Learner Log, you can:
To add a Learner Log record:
-
Click the Add button at the top of the Learner Log window.
Note: If you don’t have any records for this learner’s log, then the button will be greyed out. Instead, enter the learner log details in the fields provided.

-
Click the Save button to save the record. Alternatively, click the Save and Close button to save the record and close the Learner Log window.
Use the Learner Log feature on the Enrolments or Learners pages in Learner Manager to create custom log records in bulk. This enables the creation of the same record for multiple learners (for example: if there is an Attendance table in the Learner Log, you can add absence records in bulk using this process).
Note: The Learner Log is a bespoke table that is created in the Screen Manager module. Roles for these tables are also created when a new table is published.
To bulk insert learner log entries:
-
Use the Condition Builder on the Learners page to search for and display records.
-
Select the required records.
Note: You can select multiple records using Shift-click (for a series of records), Ctrl-click (for individual records), or Ctrl-A (for all records).
-
Click the Learner Log button on the Learner Manager ribbon.
The list of selected learners is displayed in the Learner Log.
-
Enter the required details in the Learner Log, and then click Save and Close.
If the update is successful, the Save Successful message is displayed.
- Click OK to close the message.
To delete a Learner Log record:
-
Select the record you want to delete from the log list grid.
-
Click the Delete button at the top of the Learner Log window.
A message is displayed to confirm deletion.
-
Click OK.
The Learner Log record is deleted.
