FAQ

• I don't know all my staff now, can I add them later?
  Yes, you can add staff as you're made aware of them. However, to do some of the following sessions, you'll need at least one staff member in your system. 
• What if I don't know any of my trainers, will I still be able to complete the following sessions?
  We recommend you add a "Trainer TBA" staff profile. This dummy profile can be used later if you're unsure of which staff to use for different purposes. e.g. if you're making a program, you will be required to assign a staff member. You can assign it to Trainer TBA if you are unsure of which staff member to assign at this point. Trainer TBA can be replaced at a later point when you have a staff member for the program.  
• We don't know which companies we'll be using yet, can I skip this step for now and do it later?
  Yes, you can do this step later when you have this information. 
• My student management system looks different to yours, what's going on?
  We have customised our branding/theme for our system. We'll teach you how to do this during Session 2. 
• How do I get more licenses for different kinds of users?
  Please reach out to your customer success manager who can provide you with a quote for additional licenses. 
• Are the accounts we create for the SMS the same as those create for the Support Portal https://help-education.readytech.io/support/home
  No. The support portal is where you can reach out to support for and requires you to create an account that you can use to access the knowledge base and access tickets for support. https://help-education.readytech.io/support/home https://help-education.readytech.io/support/solutions/articles/51000302058-knowledge-base-access
• I am getting a collection of warnings (AVETMISS) for a party profile that I have created which is only an Admin/Trainer/Agent
  The warnings are default, so you will get them for all profile types. If you were going to report this party, you would need to look at fixing them. However, if you are not reporting you can ignore them as they are not applicable.
