How to track refresher required and overdue courses - Refresher report

The Refresher Report is designed to help Group Leaders monitor course refresher requirements across their group. It provides a central view of users whose courses are approaching their refresher date or have become overdue.

This report is particularly useful for compliance monitoring, audit preparation, and ensuring that employee training remains up to date.

Important: Group Leaders can only view refresher information for users within their own group. Data from other groups is not visible.

What Information Does the Refresher Report Show?

The report displays all users who have refresher settings applied to their courses and whose course status is either:

  • Refresher Required

  • Refresher Overdue

Courses without refresher settings will not appear in this report.

Using the Report Filters

The filters at the top of the page allow you to quickly find specific refresher records.

Course Filter

Use the All Courses dropdown to filter the report by a specific course.

This is useful when you want to review refresher requirements for a single course rather than all courses.


Status Filter

Use the All Status dropdown to filter records based on refresher status.

Available options include:

  • Refresher Required

  • Refresher Overdue

This allows you to focus on users who need refresher training soon or users who have already passed their refresher deadline.

Team Filter

Use the All Teams dropdown to filter data by team.

This can help managers and group leaders review refresher requirements for a specific team without viewing the entire group.

Understanding the Report Table

The report table contains detailed information about each user and course.

User

Displays the name of the user assigned to the course.

Course

Shows the course that requires a refresher or has become overdue.

Refresher Required Date

This is the date on which the user becomes eligible or due for refresher training according to the refresher settings configured for the course.

Refresher Overdue Date

This is the date after which the refresher is considered overdue.

If the user has not completed the refresher by this date, the course status will change to Refresher Overdue.

Group

Displays the group to which the user belongs.

Team

Displays the team assigned to the user within the group.

Trainer

Shows the trainer associated with the course where applicable.

Duration

Displays the amount of time taken by the user to complete the course.

Retake Course / Quiz

This column provides a shortcut for the required refresher action.

Depending on the course setup, users may need to:

  • Retake the entire course, or

  • Retake the course quiz

Status

The Status column is the most important part of the report.

It identifies the current refresher state of the course.

Possible statuses include:

Refresher Required

The user is now due to complete refresher training but has not yet reached the overdue period.

This status serves as an early reminder that action is required.

Refresher Overdue

The refresher deadline has passed, and the user has not completed the required refresher training.

This status indicates that immediate action may be required to maintain compliance.

Sending Refresher Email Notifications

The report includes a built-in email notification feature.

How to Send Notifications

  1. Select the checkbox next to one or more users.

  2. Click Send Email.

  3. The selected users will receive a notification regarding their refresher status.

You can select multiple users at the same time, making it easy to notify large numbers of employees with a single action.

This feature is particularly useful when preparing for audits or managing upcoming refresher deadlines.

Exporting Report Data

The Refresher Report provides two export options.

Export to Excel

The Export to Excel option exports only the records currently displayed on the active page.

For example:

  • If you are viewing page 1, only page 1 records will be exported.

  • If you are viewing page 2, only page 2 records will be exported.

This export respects any filters currently applied to the report.

Export All

The Export All option exports every record available in the report.

Unlike Export to Excel, this option works across all pages of the report.

For example:

  • If records exist on pages 1, 2, and 3, all records will be included in the export.

  • It does not matter which page you are currently viewing.

The export also respects any active filters.

For example:

  • If you filter the report to show only refresher overdue records, the exported file will contain only overdue records.

  • If you filter by a specific course or team, only matching records will be exported.

Why Is This Report Important?

The Refresher Report is one of the most important compliance and auditing tools available to group leaders.

It helps you:

  • Monitor employee refresher requirements.

  • Identify overdue training.

  • Track upcoming refresher deadlines.

  • Send reminder notifications to users.

  • Export records for audits and compliance reviews.

  • Ensure employees maintain valid and up-to-date training records.
