Statistics Dashboard

Portal: /lms · Desk: Learning workspace

Overview

The Training Analytics page (/lms/statistics, Statistics.vue) gives L&D and HR administrators visual insight into course catalog size, enrollments, completions, certifications, assessment performance, mandatory training compliance, and learner engagement. Data loads from get_chart_details and get_advanced_statistics API endpoints.

Use this dashboard for quarterly business reviews alongside HR Employee Compliance reports—LMS shows learning activity; HR shows regulatory status. Cross-reference overdue LMS Training Assignment rows with compliance Expired items for complete workforce picture.

Accessing the dashboard

1. Log in as Moderator, System Manager, or user with statistics permission.
2. Navigate /lms/statistics from Learning sidebar Statistics link.
3. Dashboard auto-loads charts on page mount.

Learners (LMS Student) typically do not see this page—role-gated at route level.

Top-level metric cards

Five NumberChart tiles summarize:

Hover tooltips clarify definitions. These are point-in-time totals unless otherwise noted on charts.

Advanced analytics sections

Training Completion Rate — single percentage across all enrollments with subtitle "Overall across all training."

Completion Rate Trend — bar chart by month showing historical completion rate percentages—spot seasonal drops (e.g., holiday periods).

Mandatory Training Compliance — when data available, grid shows:

• Compliance Rate %
• Completed count
• Overdue count
• Total Assigned

Derived from LMS Training Assignment statuses and mandatory course enrollments—mirrors HR compliance thinking but LMS-scoped. HR teams still maintain authoritative Employee Compliance for non-LMS requirements.

Average Assessment Scores — horizontal bar chart per course title with color coding:

• Green ≥ 70%
• Amber ≥ 50%
• Red < 50%

Identifies courses where learners struggle—trigger content or quiz review.

Top Training by Enrollment — ranks courses by enrollment volume for capacity planning.

Employee Engagement — weekly active employees over last 8 weeks (teal bar chart)—measures portal adoption.

Time-series charts

Lower section retains classic charts:

• Employee Signups — line chart, signups per day
• Training Enrollments — enrollments per day
• Certifications — certificates issued per day
• Training Completion — donut chart enrolled vs completed split

Use date patterns to correlate with HR hiring waves (Employee creation triggers LMS student role) and onboarding auto-enroll hooks.

Using data for HR decisions

Export underlying data from desk list views for deeper analysis—Statistics page is visual summary, not full BI replacement.

Troubleshooting

Frequently asked questions

Does LMS training completion automatically update Employee Compliance?

No. Smooth LMS tracks learning progress, quiz scores, and certificates. Smooth HR Employee Compliance is updated separately by HR when a regulatory or policy requirement is satisfied. Download LMS PDFs and attach them to Employee Document, then mark the matching compliance row Complete with the correct renewal date.

Where should quiz PDFs be stored for audits?

Use Employee Document on the employee record with an appropriate Employee Document Type (for example Training Record or Policy Acknowledgment). Include the Quiz Submission Report PDF exported from LMS. For organization-wide retention policies, align document type expiry settings with Employee Compliance renewal periods.

Which desk workspace manages LMS content?

Open the Learning workspace from the app switcher. Desk paths use /app/list name slugs—for example /app/lms-quiz and /app/lms-enrollment. Learners consume training at /lms on the same site.

How do new hires get enrolled in mandatory training?

When Employee Onboarding is created in HRMS, the LMS integration enrolls the employee user in every published Mandatory course and creates LMS Training Assignment rows with default due dates. Ensure the Employee record has a linked User with the LMS Student role.

What is the difference between an LMS Certificate and HR compliance?

An LMS Certificate proves course completion inside Smooth LMS. Employee Compliance in Smooth HR tracks regulatory obligations (training renewals, I-9, background checks) with scheduled expiry alerts. Course certificates do not automatically appear on the HR compliance ledger—HR attaches LMS PDFs to Employee Document and updates Employee Compliance when policy requires.

Can managers view their team's quiz scores?

Managers with Moderator or Course Creator roles can open LMS Quiz Submission list views filtered by course and member. The Statistics dashboard summarizes average assessment scores by course. For official personnel files, export PDFs and store under the employee's HR documents rather than sharing desk login credentials.

Glossary

Smooth LMS + Smooth HR capability map

Use Smooth LMS for training delivery and assessments, and Smooth HR for employee files and compliance records — both on the same account.

Course completion certificates from LMS are separate from HR compliance records until HR explicitly files them. Attach LMS PDFs to Employee Document or update Employee Compliance when a training record must appear on the official employee file for audits.

LMS roles reference

HR users without LMS roles can still manage Employee Document and Employee Compliance records when L&D provides exported PDFs.

Connecting training records to Smooth HR

Smooth LMS and Smooth HR share one account. Completing a course does not automatically update HR compliance—you connect the two when your policy requires it.

Recommended workflow: When an employee completes mandatory training and passes required assessments, download the LMS certificate or quiz PDF from the Learning portal or desk, then attach it to an Employee Document or update the corresponding Employee Compliance record. HR Managers can configure Compliance Type with renewal periods so expiring certifications trigger scheduled reminders—complementing LMS Training Assignment due dates.

New hires enrolled via Employee Onboarding may receive automatic LMS enrollments for courses marked Mandatory; HR still uses Employee Compliance for regulatory items (I-9, background checks) that live outside LMS.
