Cause

An Approval Process needs to be setup for the specific item type.

Resolution

  1. Make an Approval Process : Learning Administration -> References -> System Administration -> Approval Process.
  2. Create a new approval process to include the Instructor user to be part of the approval user/steps.
    1. For example: The Approval Process would have the first step be the Instructor. Make sure that the Approval Step has the Instructor Approval Role.
    2. The second step would be have the Approval Role of Employee associated to it.
  3. Go to Learning Administration -> References -> Manage User Learning -> Completion Status -> Search that Item type Completion Status.
  4. Select 'Enable Electronic Signature' checkbox and from the dropdown menu, select the Approval Process you created.
  5. The Instructor would then mark completion for the User and have to fulfill the e-signature requirement. Afterwards, the next step of the Approval Process is for the User. They will see on their Learning Plan a message stating that they have unverified Learning Events. The User will complete the e-signature process and then have completion under their Learning History section.

Note: Depending on the Approval Process steps, the above example will differ.
