All attempts done on Synap are stored against exams and users, and if you're using assignments there is a record of all the users progress and certifications on Synap. However some things are done off platform and with Synap's records of learning you can import and recreate these records and store them on Synap.
Examples of Record of learning use
Storing person interview assessments scores
Additional qualifications
Importing previous attempts from another LMS / platform
Storing certifications and certificate files
Recreating qualifications which have expiry dates
To find a user's Record of learning, select a user through a group and navigate to their Overview then under the management section go to their individual Record of learning page.
There are 3 default fields when creating a record:
Record name which is required for every record
Score is not required but we do recommend inputting it where possible, stored as a percentage
Record date this is the date of the record activity, not the date you are creating the record on
You can create your own additional custom record attributes which will show as additional columns on the record table.
Records of learning come with an additional File type attribute which can be used to attach files to a particular record row

File
Only .pdf files are accepted on platform or through the API. Files uploaded through the API are limited to 5mb each, or 10mb per request.
To make custom record attributes to store extra information against your Records of learning go to Settings > Data management > Attributes > Records of learning. From here you can create new record attributes the same way as other attributes on platform
From the records table click the Add record button, a modal will open with all the available fields to add a new record
Enable the student side record of learning by navigating to Settings > User Access > Students > Student Insights > Enable Records of learning tab
Once enabled students will be able to navigate to their Insights page and to a Records of learning tab to view all the records set to them. Note if any record attributes have been hidden from student users they won't see any values for these fields.
All admins and managers will be able to create, delete, and edit Records of learning. You can create custom roles using advanced permissions on specific educator groups to allow certain educators to edit/delete/create Records of learning for a specific user group. To do this you'll need to have or make a custom educator group
Go to the specific user group's access page to give a specific educator group permissions related to Records of learning. In the example below the '💿 Record makers' is allowed to view and edit existing records for the '👨🚀 Astronauts' group, they can't create or delete new ones but this could be configured.
