What is Mandatory Content?

With Mandatory Content you can now clearly signify to your learners that they should complete key content. By setting a course or guide as mandatory for a team you will;

• Set a due date
• Automatically create a mandatory section
• Generate automated reminders 

This approach is proven to drive forward high completion rates and provide clearer signals to learners of what is expected of them.

How to set it up

1. Access admin panel (admin.edume.com)

2. Go to Learning tab

3. Select the course or guide you want to make Mandatory

4. Go to Visibility Tab

   If you haven’t set teams visibility, choose the team(s) you want the content visible for

   Select Mandatory settings

1. Choose the teams you want to make the content mandatory for

2. Select a relative or fixed due date

   Relative due dates are set when a user is member of a team with Mandatory content, the due date rule starts from most recent of either;

   • For existing team members; Start date = date mandatory set
   • For users added to a team after mandatory has been set; Start date = date learner added to team

3. Click save to complete the flow

Learners will then see Mandatory Sections in their Knowledge Hubs when they have mandatory content due

Automated reminders

Once a course due date is set you can then enable automatic reminders which will send users a message (based on delivery preferences) 7 days before the due date and again 1 day before the due date.

1. Go to Settings
2. Click on Notifications
3. Turn on Automatic reminders for mandatory content
