How Training Works in Paddl

Paddl tracks training compliance through document sign-offs and risk assessment acknowledgements. There isn't a separate "training module" — instead, training is tracked through the documents and risk assessments that staff are required to sign.

Setting Up Training Requirements

To set up a training requirement:

  1. Upload the training material as a Document in the admin panel

  2. Enable Require Sign-Off on the document

  3. All current and future staff will be required to read and sign it

For external training (like the FSA allergen training), create a document that includes the training link and instructions, then require staff sign-off to confirm they've completed it.

Training Dashboard

Each staff member's profile shows their training completion status. This includes:

  • Documents they've signed vs those still pending

  • Risk assessments they've acknowledged

  • Their overall compliance percentage

Common Questions

"It says 0/1 complete but there's no training showing"

This can happen if a training requirement was assigned but the associated document or content hasn't been fully published or made visible. Check that the document:

  • Has been uploaded and is not in draft mode

  • Has Require Sign-Off enabled

  • Is assigned to the correct staff members or location

"I can't find the Add Training button"

Training is added through the Documents section, not a separate training page. Upload your training material as a document and enable sign-off. The training completion will then appear on each staff member's compliance dashboard.
