Managers Approval

Hi

We currently have a customisation called Managers Approval, this is when a collegue will search for a course, try to add to their Learning Plan, and enter/take part in the course.  We have a trigger on some of our courses that a message is sent to their manager to approve this before the learner can take part in the course.

How does this work if we have managers approval on our course pages but the course page is also part of a set within a program.  If the learner has been enrolled as part of an audeince to complete this program will this 'override' the need for managers approval on each individual course page and therefore not send the manager a request for approval and allow the learner to go in and complete the courses within the sets within a program?

MAny Thanks

David

Hi Chelle,

Yes, the program enrollment plugin will enrol the colleague onto the course without the need for manager approval.  It may be that the order of the enrolment plugins needs to be set to make sure that the program enrolment comes before the manager approval, similar to this reply https://totara.community/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=16318
