When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This review is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this review covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Training Delivery and Effectiveness programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links courses, document control
Not for
- E-Learning Completion Record, which records completion of an online module, with score, time taken and attempts.
- Training Effectiveness Evaluation, which evaluates whether training changed anything, using observation, knowledge checks and incident data rather than attendance.
- On the Job Coaching Record, which records short coaching given at the workplace, what was covered and how the person responded.
- Anything outside KnowTrain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

The agents
What the agents do with it
