Setting Up and Configuring Training Hours

The number of training hours for your employees is displayed in the Training Success report and in the following workbooks:

The number of training hours is also displayed in the following KPI reports:

Within Oracle Learning Management you can record the duration of a training event using a time period of your choice. For example, rather than recording an event in hours you might record it in weeks or months.

To enable the reports to display the number of hours of an event, a predefined formula,, TEMPLATE_BIS_TRAINING_CONVERT_DURATION, converts your time periods into hours.

OTA is installed with four predefined time periods. If you record the duration of events using these predefined time periods the formula automatically converts them into the following hours:

Note: You set up time periods in Oracle Training Administration using the Lookup type FREQUENCY.

However, you should copy and amend the formula if:

Additional frequencies you have set up are not automatically converted to hours using the predefined formula.

  1. Amending the Default Hours

    To ensure that the report and workbooks calculate the correct hours for your training events you can configure the predefined formula.

    See: Amending Default Training Hours

  2. Adding Additional Training Time Periods

    If you have defined your own training time periods using the FREQUENCY Lookup you must copy and amend the predefined formula. If you do not add your additional time periods to the formula the hours for these events will not be included in the report and workbooks.
