Create Learning Prerequisite Rules

Create Learning Prerequisite Rules

Security: These domains in the Learning Core functional area:
  • Manage: Learning Content
  • Set Up: Learning Catalog
Use your learning catalog to identify the prerequisite rules you want to create.
You can create prerequisite rules that define completion of 1 or more courses or programs as a prerequisite to the enrollment or consumption of other learning content. Prerequisites enable you to manage completion of content in your learning catalog.
Workday replaces the enrollment option with a
View Prerequisites
 button when a learning course or program has related prerequisites that learners must complete before they can enroll in the target content. Workday continues to indicate these prerequisites by displaying a
Pending Items
 button on the target content until learners successfully complete the prerequisite content.
  1. Access the
    Create Learning Prerequisite Rule
     task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Target
    The learning course or program that learners can consume once they complete the required prerequisite items.
    Qualifier
    Indicates whether learners must either complete or enroll in the prerequisite items.
    Prerequisite Content
    You can select :
    • Multiple prerequisite items in the same row to specify that learners must complete all of the items as a prerequisite.
    • Each prerequisite item in a separate row to specify that learners must complete any 1 item as a prequisite.
    Example: The Project Management course has Poject Design and Project Metrics as prerequisite items. If you:
    • Select
      Project Design
       and
      Project Metrics
       in the same row, learners must complete both items before taking Project Management.
    • Select
      Project Design
       in 1 row and
      Project Metrics
       in a separate row, learners can complete either item before taking Project Management
Workday displays details of the rules you've created for the content on the
View Learning Prerequisite Rule
 report.
Run the
Manage Learning Prerequisite Rules
 report to view and edit all prerequisite rules in your tenant.
