Evidence Bank Report
by vijay Nanduri - Friday, 2 April 2021, 7:37 AM
 

We have created evidence bank for each of our sites to maintain the external qualification and certification data.

QUalification Name, Issue date, and expirty date.

We would like to create a report that can be run / schedule monthly to alert our admins of when each employee quals, trade tickets are expiring. Is is it possible to cretae a custom report for evidences?

Hi Vijay

There is a report source Evidence in Totara 13 that can be used to provide these details. 

Any custom fields that are added to evidence such as expiry date will be available to the report builder and able to be scheduled with filters applied.

thank you Craig, I will look into this,


Is it possible to bulk upload evidence, that was created under the evidence bank? ihave around 900 records of employees with the license and forklift details. Should i use the same completion records bulk - to upload these evidences?

Hi Vijay

There is an upload course completions that allows evidence to be uploaded .

Use a course id  that doesn't exist in the system and the completion will be added as evidence to the user's Record of Learning.

Hi Vijay

You are right I can't find the option to select an evidence type in Totara 13 - I will try and find out if something needs to be enabled for this to show or if this has been taken out .

Regards

Hi Vijay

It looks like this was taken out of 13.

There are plans to add a tool to allow evidence and custom fields to be imported. This is likely to appear in a later version of 14 - resources permitting.

Sorry about the conflicting information - I will get the docs changed.

Oh thats shame Craig.


Thank you so much for chasing this up for me. Given that its not there, any idea how you want me to approach this?

I am migrating historical data (1000s of them) and I want them to appear under the evidence bank section and not under the other evidence section.

By using the evidence bank, our site adminstrators will have an neat user interface to add qualifications.

Any workaround to bulk upload ?

HI Malinda,


Our Totara partner wrote a custom report for us. There is no out of the box solutions at the moment, which is a shame,

Hi Malinda

The import of custom fields for evidence was added in 13.10 and the inclusion of evidence type custom fields in evidence reports was added in 13.12 by TL-29566
