Fourth Academy: Running Reports

Overview

This guide will explain how to run and manage reports in Fourth Academy. To be able to use this function, Team Leader access will be required. Please reach out to your Fourth Contact to have this access enabled.

This functionality provides access to:

1. Running reports on employees’ progress in Fourth’s digital learning.
2. Running reports on Fourth Academy usage for employees, including logins.
3. Navigating the system from an Admin view.

Team Leaders will have Admin View as default when logging into Fourth Academy. To switch back to Learner View, select the option from the Profile Dropdown on the top-right.

This information can either be found with Quick Reports, Usage Reports, or the Reporting Engine. For any of these options, get started by navigating to the Reports page in Fourth Academy.

• Login to Fourth Academy by going to fourth.com/fourthacademy and entering the login details.

Navigating the platform

Alternatively, it is possible to check on one user specifically, by using the other tabs from the main menu. For example, the People tab shows all visible users, and selecting one brings up the user activity, course completion, and more. The Team tab will show all teams available to the user, and from a team perspective, show all users and courses.
