Basic Structure: Each system will have at least one company. Each company will have organizational levels assigned. Each organizational level can be independent from the preceding level or dependant on the level.
In Company setup, specify the Organizational levels.
Field Description: These fields correspond to levels of the organization. Typically these levels will match levels in a shared HR system to keep consistency with employee records. After the titles are entered in the Company setup, code tables for each become available in Admin > Organization. User View : Levels have a high profile in Cyber Train:
Specifying availability of curriculum Adding Students Setting Requirements Reporting
Org Level Fields
Student View: The student does not see these levels but they affect access to class enrollment. Field Description: The checkmark boxes available will make each level dependent on the one above. For example, if only two departments (IT and HR) are in Alexandria and the rest of the departments are in Reston, a company can make department dependent on location (designated by using Location as Org 1 and Department as Org 2 and placing a checkmark next to Org 2). For each location chosen a different department list will appear. Additional setup is needed to link the organizational levels together under Admin > Organization User View: Users will see this connection on the Student > Add Student Process and on the Student File > Job Info Page.

NOTES
Why do you need Organizational Codes? Organizational codes are used in the system to organize information for the students, for reporting purposes and to build requirements based on where a student works. With this feature, for example, someone working in North Carolina can have a different set of requirements than someone working in California. Building Requirements Within each organizational level, courses and programs can be assigned so that when a student record is updated with a particular organizational code, requirements will be added to the student’s “Courses Needed” page. Each course or program can have a specified number of days after the addition which will default a ‘due date’ in the student’s requirement page.

NOTES Purpose of ‘Students’ ‘Students’ in the system can be students, employees, managers, etc. Each record will store information related to an individual’s training requirements and history. Flagging the record as an ‘employee’ will ensure he/she sees his/her specific information when logging into the system. Flagging the record as a ‘supervisor’ will allow a connection back to another student record which will allow the manager to see training information related to his/her subordinates. Students can also be users (in each user account there is a ‘student’ drop-down which will connect a student record to a user account so the user does not have to log in separately to see personal or subordinate information. Recommendations for using the ‘Add Student’ process
o Work you way down the hierarchy (start with the president and then do his subordinates, and then theirs, etc.)
o Ensure you have the following information regarding the student records o Email Address o Employee Number o Job Start Date o Hire Date o Job Title o Organizational Structure
Recommendation for using the ‘Import Student’ process
o Ensure the file is saved into an excel document and the spreadsheet is called Sheet 1 o Bring as much information as possible about the student o Ensure anything related to a drop-down is CAPITALIZED and using the code shown under
Admin > Codes or Admin > Organization Notes on Abra Import Clients who use Abra and have Cyber Train installed on the same network can turn on a ‘link’ between the two products. This connection is set under Admin > Links > Pre-Defined Links and a separate program must be loaded on to the server which contains Abra. This program can be scheduled to run so the two systems stay in sync.

NOTES What is the Home Page? This specialized view is designed to quickly display information which needs attention. There are two sections to the home page (1) Left-Hand Navigation (2) Right-Hand Information. Each person logging into the system will be presented with a Home Page view and depending on whom the person is, what role the person plays and actions the person is responsible for the view will change. Left-Hand Navigation:
Training Admin - Will only show if the person logging in has (1) a user account and (2) that user is listed as a ‘Training Admin’. Information listed will be related to all classes, courses and students in the system. Student - Will only show if the person logging in has a student record created. If the person logging in is also a user, the student record MUST be connected to the user account in Admin > Security > User Security. Information listed will be related to the individual person. Manger - Will only show if the person logging in has been flagged as a ‘supervisor’ in his/her student account. Information listed will be related to students this person is managing. Instructor - Will only show if (1) a user account has been created (2) that user is listed as an ‘Instructor’. Information listed will be related to class this user is teaching.

Quick Changes Some items can be quickly adjusted on the Display Page as needed but changes to the report via the Display Page are not saved with the original report. If changes should be permanently made to a report, the report will need to be modified – see Modifying Reports section below. With each release and upgrade to Cyber Train, the standard reports will use the defaults that they came with overriding any changes made by Users.
Item Purpose ‘Report’ Drop-down References the other reports available and changes the report based on
the selection without the need to go back to the first menu page ‘Results’ Drop-down Defaults to 100 records but can be expanded to show additional records
on the screen. ‘Add Field’ Drop-down Quickly add another field from the list of available fields without having to
go back and modify the whole report. ‘Export Type’ Drop-down Defaults to HTML so the report will print in the web browser being used.
Use the drop-down options to select another method for displaying the information (excel, word, etc.)
‘Export’ Button After selecting another method for viewing the information, press the Export button to move the data to that new source (excel, word, etc.)
‘Report List’ Button Returns the user to the reports list to choose another report ‘Back’ Button Moves the User back one page in the browser. ‘Update Results’ Button If allowed in the setup of the report, the parameters may be updated by the
user when viewing the report. This button works in conjunction with the table listed below the button to update the records displayed based o the new or updated parameters

NOTES
Modifying Reports When possible, it is easier to modify an existing report than it is to create a report from scratch. It is recommended to start with the Standard Reports to see what they can provide and then to modify them to create new ones as needed. Additionally, it is important to note that standard reports will always use the defaults properties. To avoid overriding changes with new releases or upgrades, it is better to modify these reports and save them under another name if necessary. To modify reports simply select Reports > Report Writer from the Main Menu Bar. Click on the link ‘Click here to create a new report’ link to receive a list of current reports in the system.
The page which appears will be a menu page of all of the reports currently available in the system. To modify a report, select the report by clicking on the name which is a hyperlink.

Navigation Reports are written or modified in the Query Designer. This user interface incorporates all of the screens involved in creating, modifying and previewing a report. Once in the design mode, a header will always be present at the top of the page:
Tabs
Reports The Reports tab saves created reports to the database for later reference. This is the main screen which will appear when starting new reports or selecting reports to modify. The page will be grouped by category first and then display report alphabetically. The last modified date, sharing status and owner ID will also be prominently displayed for easy reference.
Data Sources The Data Sources tab contains a list of tables/views available for use in building reports. To join two tables/views together, each table must have an identical and unique field. Many of the tables have commonly used fields to decrease the necessity of joining tables. For example, if the User wanted information regarding an Applicant’s education, the View_StudentCertifications would be selected from the dropdown list. Nothing more is needed.

NOTES
Filters In the Filters tab, the selected fields of the table/view can be filtered so that only pertinent entries appear in the table. For example, if the User is searching for Students who have a Certification in First Aid expiring within the next 30 days or has just expired, the filters tab is where those conditions are set.
Item Purpose ‘Filter’ Drop-down Select which field should be used as a comparison in the filter. Operator Select what to make the filter do. For example, should the field used for
the filter be equal to something or not equal to something? Should it be in a range of something, or greater than something?
Value(s) Enter the comparison to use. What should the system look to as a match or range or value for the filter? Use commas between values to specify more than one possibility.
Blank Same as selecting ‘Blank’ as the operator. Will look for records where this field is blank.
Param Should this filter be changeable in the Display View (discussed previously)? Checking the box will allow this value to be changed. Checking next to the blank box will allow filters to be added to the Display View.
Items in the Filter are used like a mathematic expression. The field selected as the Field is use as a comparison to the Value based on the Operator. Depending on the operator used, the result of the comparison will be different. For example Certification “Equal To” CPR would generate a totally different result than DateExpires “Between” 1/1/2007 and 12/31/2007.

NOTES
Summary In the Summary tab, a table can be created that summarizes the chosen fields using different functions (for example, Average, Count, Maximum, and so on). Make a group of fields by choosing Group option from the Function dropdown menu.
Item Purpose ‘Field’ Drop-down Select which field should be used in the summary. If grouping, the first
field select should be the grouping field and the second could be the field to count.
Description The description will default automatically based on the field selected but can be changed by the user.
Sort (a-z) Sort this column of information alphabetically starting with A. Sort (z-a) Sort this column of information alphabetically starting with Z. Function Specify what should be done. In the example above, the degree will be
the group and the report will count each person (only once) which has that specific degree. Then, the next row will be a new degree with a new number of people with that specific degree.
Format The Format dropdown menu is a list of formats for the entries of the field selected in the Field dropdown menu directly to the left to appear in.
Add Grand Totals Adds a total count to the bottom of the summary section. Generally this page will have two rows of information. The first row will be the information to group (degrees in this example). Set this first row to group. The second row will be the information to summarize. In this screen it will be ‘Count’ or ‘Count Distinct’. Count will count each record regardless to if there are multiples and Count Distinct will only count the record once. For this example, Count would total up the number of degrees. So, if the person had two of the same degree, the result would be 2. Count Distinct would total up the number of people. So, regardless of how many degrees the applicant has, the fact that he/she has a bachelor’s degree would only count once. This same structure can be used on the Chart tab as well.

NOTES
Creating a New Report There is more to creating a new report than simply pulling from Cyber Train and placing them in the Report Writer. Taking the time to design a report on paper will help speed the process for creating a new report. Once the report is designed, it is then a matter of using the report writer to get just the information needed.
Designing a Report There are a few important questions to ask when designing a report which will ensure a successful creation and deployment. Without asking these important questions, much time can be spent re-doing reports once additional information is gathered.
Question Example Why What type of information? Name & certification Determines which Data Source to use. Which fields of information? Name, certification, issue
date, expiration date Determines which Fields to use.
Should anything be excluded? Only certifications expiring in 2008
Determines which Filters to use.
For analysis or just records? Sums/Averages/Graphs Determines which other tabs need to be used. – Summary, Chart.
Analysis of what? Number of people with which certification
Determines how Summary and/or Chart should be used.
Preferred Title/Details? Certifications Expiring, etc. If writing for someone else, might as well get the items set at the beginning
Specific Style? Column vs. Field | Value If writing for someone else, might as well get the items set at the beginning
End Goal? Export to Excel for Manager Can add a filter in to split out managers, for example. Or this report might be named in to a category which managers can access.

Question 12:
Item Purpose ‘Field’ Drop-down Selecting an item from the drop-down menu maps this piece of information
from the Cyber Recruiter screens onto the report. Description The description will default automatically based on the field selected but
can be changed by the user. Sort (a-z) Sort this column of information alphabetically starting with A. Sort (z-a) Sort this column of information alphabetically starting with Z. VG Make this field a group and have all other information show under it. For
example, if a report was needed of everyone with a Bachelors Degree, VG would be checked next to Degree. However, if a report was needed for every employee and a detail of his/her education, VG would be checked next to Full Name.
A Will add, subtract, multiply, or divide by the selection in the row above. Instead of 2 numeric columns, there is only 1 and the numbers are added together, or they could be multiplied, divided or subtracted. For example if a report was needed to find out what percentage of routings for each person also result in an interview. Check mark A until the divide sign appears and the number of interviews will be divided by the number of routings.
‘Function’ Drop-down The Function means that instead of just showing the field chosen, it will perform that function and show that. Typically, the Group function is used for a high level and then the count or sum function is used to sum some

Question 14:
Question 15: True Question 16: Count will count each record and distinct count will only count the record once. For
example, when trying to get a count of how many employees have taken a certain class, you would want to use ‘distinct count’ because you only want to count the person one. However, if you want to know how many people have attended the classes you would want to use count so that the student is counted each time he/she takes the class.
