Hi everyone, I am looking at wanting to implement a governance library that will say when our modules are due for review but to also keep notes in there such as dd/mm/yy updated module to include x, y, z. 


Has anyone done this before in any way in the LMS as the spreadsheet is just not ideal :)

Hi Rebecca

You might want to look at using the database activity to store and search for governance information 

There is also an Academy course on databases to give you more advice on using this effectively that you are free to enrol in.

Hi Rebecca,

We have away to do this that might work for you.

We've added custom Course Fields (that's their name, and not a code customisation) of; 'Next Course Review' (date), 'Business Owner' (text), and 'L&D notes' (text). 

From experience, many course have special conditions of their review (e.g. part of a Certification, or have complex ownership) and the 'L&D Notes' is a way to carry forward information about the review to its next cycle.

Then, regularly run a Report that focuses on course's near (or overdue) for review. You could set this up as a scheduled report and have it emailed to you each month?  

Cheers
Austen
