Overview: Flow allows you to bulk upload external training, so you can add several upcoming training sessions quickly and easily.
Start from: the Flow Learning dashboard.
- Select Learning & Development > L&D settings from the main menu.
- Scroll down to External Training Upload.
- Select View (the cog icon).
Once on the External Training Upload page, you can download a CSV file template (see below) to populate with information on the external training you wish to upload in bulk.
Note: when uploading External Training as a batch, the ‘Available in the Training Calendar’ field will default to ‘no’ if there is no set value in the field.
Once you have your CSV file ready to upload:
- Select Choose File to locate the CSV file from your desktop.
Once you have uploaded it successfully, you must run a test upload to make sure the file will work.
- Select the Test upload checkbox then select Upload. This will test the validity of the data in the CSV file without importing anything.
If the test upload is successful, you’ll receive a notification to confirm this. However, If the test is unsuccessful you will have to remove the uploaded CSV, fix the errors, re-upload the amended file and run the test again.
Only when the CSV file is correct:
- Untick the Test upload checkbox.
- Select the Choose file button again and upload your CSV file.
A pop-up upload confirmation message will appear. Your External training is now uploaded and is available on the External Training page (Learning & Development > L&D Settings > External Training).
