Summary: Frameworks organise learners into multiple hierarchical groups and can be used in dynamic rules and viewed on learner profiles.
What are frameworks?
Frameworks are structures for organising your learners. They group and label your users in multiple ways at once. For example, we have two frameworks in the image above; “position” and “location”.
These frameworks mean that learners can be sorted and assigned learning based on their position within the framework. For example, we could use our location framework to ensure that everyone in Europe gets GDPR training. This also means that, should the learner move to the USA, the learning they are assigned will automatically be updated based on a change made to the framework.
The frameworks are made up of "parents" and "children". In the above image you can see that Europe is the parent of the United Kingdom, which is the parent of Northern Ireland, England, UK Remote, and Scotland. Each individual entry is an entity. An entity can be both a parent and a child.
Information from frameworks can be used in a couple of different places in the LXP:
- In user profiles
- In dynamic rules
Dynamic rules
If you aren't familiar with using dynamic rules in groups, have a look at the groups guide. When you open a group's dynamic rules, you'll see that Framework 1 and Framework 2 are available as criteria.
You can then use various filters to include or exclude learners from the group based on the framework(s) that they are part of.
Once you've done that, you can use the groups to assign LXs and playlists to the specified learners, you can filter comments using the group, and you can assign different users the ability to see details about these learners. Find out more in the groups guide.
User profile
Information from your frameworks can be displayed on your learner's profile.
To enable this, you need to go to Settings > Fields > Job Role Fields and enable Make role fields visible on the front end.
You can change the way that your frameworks display in your learner profiles by clicking the pencil icons next to the frameworks (highlighted in the image above). A slide out menu will appear and you can select which framework should be displayed and what its name and description should be:
See the Assigning frameworks to learners guide and the Setting up a framework guide to find out more.
