You can assign Collections to users as To-Do’s, which will show up in their To-Do area. Creating To-Do’s provides several benefits:
- Tracking completion progress on assigned materials.
- Notifications to remind users to complete their To-Do's.
- Spacing and sequencing content for a training or class.
NOTE: Only Collections can be made into To-Do's. If you wish to assign a single file or Pak, create a Collection for it before assigning it.
To Do Use Case Examples
- Product launch training
- New sales promotions
- Post-classroom reinforcement training
- Onboarding
PRO TIP: Have a class, but not sure which users need to be added to it? Let your users sign up for the class themselves. Email support@veeloinc.com and ask for a class code, which your users can use to sign up for a class themselves. Simply let us know which Circle you would like the users to be automatically added to, and what you would like the class code to be (optional--we'll provide one for you automatically if you don't specify), and we'll get back to you ASAP. Once you have the class code, you can provide it to your users and direct them to sign up for the class at http://[yourcustomdomain].veeloapp.com/users/signup/.
Step by Step
- Go to the Circles tab. Select the Circle with the users for whom you wish the create the To-Do, or create a new one.
- Once inside the Circle, click on Circle Content and then select Collections.
- If you haven’t added the Collection(s) yet, click on the Add Collections button, and select the Collection(s) you wish to add.
- To turn a Collection into a To-Do, click on the Make To-Do button.
- You'll be shown the Edit To-Do screen. From here, you can:
a. Set your To-Do delivery date.You can choose to have the To-Do available:
(i) Immediately
(ii) On a specific calendar date
(iii) After a certain number of days after the user has first gained access to the content
(iv) After the user has completed a particular Collection
To-Do's available immediately are immediately viewable by the user. To-Do's with scheduled delivery dates will not show for the user until the specified date, until the specified interval has passed, or until they have satisfied the Collection viewing requirement you've set.
b. Set your To-Do due date.You can choose no due date, or to set a specific date on the calendar, or a number of days after the delivery of the To-Do.
If you have a set cohort of users for this To-Do who will all be completing the training at the same time, using the specific calendar date will be best.
If, on the other hand, this To-Do will be delivered to a rotating cast of users who will join the Circle at different times, choosing a due date based on the To-Do delivery will work better. - Click on the Add New Notifications link to create a notification for this To-Do.
NOTE: Failing to set notifications will mean your users will not be notified that they have a To-Do.
Notification delivery options include:
a. Immediately after To-Do is delivered to the user:Your users will receive a notification shortly after you save your To-Do settings.
b. On a specific calendar date: Your users receive the notification within one hour of the specified date and time, based on the time zone of your Circle.
c. A certain number of days:
(i) After the To-Do delivery
(ii) Before the Due Date (if applicable)
(iii) After the Due Date (if applicable)
Customize the notification subject line and text. Your users will receive the email with a link to the To-Do after you finish editing your To-Do settings. - Add additional notifications as necessary by clicking on the Add New Notifications link.
- Click the Save button when done.
- To edit your To-Do's, click on the Edit To-Do button.
