Video icon Watch: Understanding Demographic Groups within Advanced Compliance

Demographics refers to the information associated with each user. Demographics are mapped into your Advanced Compliance feature set using the user profile fields from your Skillport site. For information on mapping learning profiles to demographics, contact your Skillsoft representative.

All your reports and assignments are based on the types of demographics you specify. The user demographics enable you to sort reports by this information and make learning plan assignments to specific groups of users.

A demographic group is created to enable groups of users having a defined demographic to share the same learning plan assignments. Groups are created using the demographic labels that have already been created in Skillport.

Note: You must create a demographic group before making learning plan assignments.

It is recommended that you spend time analyzing the user demographics to determine which demographic groups share the same learning plan assignments and which demographic groups have unique learning plan assignments. For example, if a demographic category (such as Job Function) which includes electricians, welders, and operations shares the same learning plan assignments, you can designate just one demographic group (Job Function = All). However, if your organization has unique learning plan assignments for each job function, the best approach is to create a demographic group for each job function (select a defined job function, such as "electrician").
