✓Incorrect users are Auto Assigned. If users are incorrectly assigned a Learning Path as a result of Auto Assignment, you will need to modify the Group.

Examples:  If you have created a Group using the User ID, you will have to remove the users individually from the Group.
If you have created a Group using criteria, you will need to see if you can modify that criteria to eliminate the users that should not be included.

Once the Group criteria has been changed, you can delete the users from the Path. Auto Assignment can only be used to assign Learning Paths to users. It cannot be used to remove users from a Learning Path.

✓Courses are Added or Removed. Any user that has not completed the Path at the time the Courses are added or removed will simply see a change in the Courses the next time they view the Learning Path. Their Path progress information will be updated to accommodate the removed or added Courses.

Any user who has completed the Learning Path prior to adding or removing Courses will not be aware that a change was made in the Learning Path and will still have a Status of Complete. If users have completed the Learning Path prior to the change in Courses, the Path Progress Report will show those users with a Status of Complete and indicate a different number of Completed Courses. See Reassigning a user to a Completed Path.

Important! Removing a course from a Path removes it for all users regardless of user's Course history status (In Progress, Finished, etc.) or the User's Path User Status (Open/Close Complete or Open/Closed Incomplete).

✓Dates or Days Due is Modified, Number of attempts is modified and/or Completion Rules are modified. Once a Learning Path has been assigned to users, a change in these fields will NOT impact anyone to whom the Learning Path is currently assigned. It will only impact users that are assigned to the Learning Path after the modification is made.

If the Dates or Days Due information needs to be changed for a currently assigned user, you can Edit that user's entry in the Path > Edit > Users list.

✓Expires Date is Modified. This does not impact anyone to whom the Learning Path has been assigned. This modification will only impact users assigned after the change has been made.
