Understand Enlytning concepts

Gain a basic understanding of Enlytning’s core concepts to set up your compliance environment and navigate efficiently.

Enlytning connects organisations, users, groups, materials, assignments, and learning paths. These concepts explain how content moves from creation to tracked completion.

Understand organisation structure

An Enlytning organisation contains its users, materials, settings, and compliance records. You can belong to multiple organisations and switch between them.

Understand users and roles

Each organisation gives every user a role that controls their permissions:

  • Owner: Controls billing, security, organisation settings, and deletion
  • Admin: Invites users, creates groups, and manages materials and assignments
  • Creator: Creates materials and edits materials they own or collaborate on, but cannot manage assignments or view organisation-wide reports
  • Regular: Completes assigned courses, policies, and surveys

Organise users into groups

A group is a reusable collection of users, such as “Engineering”, “New Hires”, or “Safety Officers”. Groups let you select the same set of users across assignments.

Understand materials

A material is a piece of content that you create and assign to learners. Enlytning supports three material types:

  • Course: Teaches content and can assess learner competency
  • Policy: Presents rules or procedures for formal acknowledgement
  • Survey: Gathers feedback, assesses risk, or verifies understanding

Follow the publishing workflow

Each material has an editable draft in the Workspace. Publishing creates the version learners receive:

  • Publishing takes a snapshot of the current draft
  • Assigned learners receive that published version through Learn
  • The same editable draft remains in the Workspace for your next changes
  • Publishing the draft creates the next version
  • You cannot unpublish or revert a published version

For version details, see Review and reuse material versions.

Manage compliance

Assignments connect materials to learners, while learning paths combine materials into a required sequence.

Assign materials

An assignment requires a user or group to complete a material. Enlytning tracks status, plus an acknowledgement or score when the material type provides one.

Configure an assignment with:

  • Deadline: Set a specific due date
  • Recurring assignment: Repeat a course or policy on a schedule
  • Passing score: Require a minimum course score

Sequence materials in learning paths

A learning path combines materials into a sequence that supports a broader compliance goal. For example, an information security path might contain:

Complete the “Data Protection” policy.

Complete the “Phishing Awareness” course.

Complete the “Security Risk” survey.

Learning path conditions can require a passing score before the learner proceeds.
