A Learner record must exist for each person you want to track training progress for in Quality Basics: Training.

Learner records are automatically created for Vault users you add to your Quality Basics Vault.

Create an External Learner

Sometimes you might need to create an external Learner who is not a Vault user, for example, an external contractor that needs to train on a document. Although external learners will not be able to log in to Veeva Quality Basics, you can provide training content to them outside of the system and then track their training completion through Facilitated Training.

To create an external learner:

  1. Navigate to Training Admin > Learners & Assignments > Learners and click Create.

  2. Check the Person is not a Vault user box.

  3. Add the learner’s Manager to give the manager visibility into the learner’s training status.

  4. Add the learner’s Department and/or Job Title. These fields can be used to automatically assign a learner role to a learner.

  5. Complete all other necessary fields and click Save.

If the external learner later becomes a Vault user, follow the Change a Learner from Non-Vault User to Vault User work instruction.

Make a Learner Ineligible

By default, a Learner’s status is set to Eligible. Eligible Learners can access any training that has been assigned to them.

If a user will be temporarily unable to complete training (for example, they are on extended leave) change their status to Ineligible. Any outstanding training will be canceled and new training assignments will not be sent to Ineligible learners. When they return from leave, change them back to Eligible. Relevant training will be reassigned.

To change a learner’s status to Ineligible:

  1. Navigate to Training Admin > Learners & Assignments > Learners and open the learner record.

  2. Select Mark as Ineligible.
