Administrators can now force any user to reset their password when they next login to the Learning Management System (LMS).
This is useful in a variety of cases, such as:
If you add a user with a temporary password
If a user has a very simple password that you would like them to change
Periodic cyber-security clean-up.
To access this feature, click on ‘Add New User’ or select a user and choose ‘Edit User’ in the menu. There you will find a tick-box to force password reset.
You can also force a firm-wide password reset. Email our support team for further instructions.
Firms that license the Continuing Competence Module (CCM) now have the ability to create a separate login page for the CCM. This enables firms to create a fully immersive continuing competence experience that is separate from regular online training. On the ‘competence only’ login page, users focus on the reflection and planning stages of their learning before diving directly into their learning record.

https://LINK-TO-THE-LMS/competencylogin.aspx
Note: Firms that use Single Sign On should append ssocompetencylogin.aspx.
When a user logs into the system with this URL, they should see the Continuing Competence Module:
