What Users See

Once you have created Transcript Widgets, you can add them to either Page Templates or Pages. Below is an example of a Transcript Widget as it displays to end Users.

Items are shown in a multi-row format, and you can click the header for each item and see further details.

The Transcript count in the mini dashboard at the top of the page may not always match the number of rows displayed. The number is based on what was selected for the Count for Dashboard Summary option during the Widget setup. If the list is filtered after opening (for example by a date range or by a specific learning event type) the number of listed items may be less than the count. The count is not updated based on filtering. The count is the total based on the Widget setup option.

You can also sort the page by Completed Date, either Recent to Old or Old to Recent. The Transcript Widget only displays Completed and Exempt items.

Users can click Filters to view a subset of the transcript results on the page. The filters available to end Users depend on what filters you enabled on the Filters tab during Widget setup.

The Transcript Widget page is sorted by Completed date, and there is a Widget filter to include all history, last year to date, and current year to date on the display. (This is an option on the Content tab of the Widget wizard.) Since learning events with status Exempt do not have a completed date, there are some things to consider:

Unless the Widget displays full history, Exempt items will not be included. If it displays Last year to Date or Current Year to Date, the Widget is based on the Completed Date, so Exempt items are not included.
The list of items will sort by Completed Date. Since Exempt items do not have a completed date, they will be at the beginning or end, depending on the sort option.
If a date range filter is used, any start date that is specified will exclude all exempt items.

Users can click the Certificate icon to view and print certificates. They also have the ability to export the entire transcript to either PDF or Microsoft Excel format. The content of the exported transcript is based on the current sort order and selected filters.

When you do this and regenerate the report, the PDF only displays completed items that have earned Credits.

If Users click Download Files from the Export drop-down, a download manager window opens. You have several options for PDF, including Transcript with Credits. This option produces a list of completed training events within Admin-specified filters in a formatted, multi-row layout complete with company logo. If any earned Credits are associated with completed events, the Credit names and values display (otherwise the value in the Credits column is 0). You can further refine this PDF by selecting the Only include when credits assigned check box located on the window that opens when you click the Filters icon on the Transcript Widget page.

This window lets you check the status of the export. It also displays the last three versions of each download type so that Users can quickly access their last few transcript exports. Information about the filter and sort options for each exported transcript in the list can be accessed by clicking . To open an exported transcript, click the Transcript link next to the item you want.

The exported files are based on your current sorting and filtering.

The default Oracle company logo displayed at the top of the Transcript output can be changed to your company’s logo or some other logo of your choice. Contact Customer Support through My Oracle Support to open a service request to make this change. (Note: If you have already had the logo changed for BI Reporting reports, the same logo will be used for Transcripts.
