Configure learning path conditions
Add branching logic to learning paths based on learner performance.
This reference covers the score triggers and resulting actions that Admins and Owners can configure for a course step.
Understand condition behaviour
Conditions are available only for course steps with scored questions. Policies, surveys, and unscored courses have no scores to trigger a condition.
When you add a condition to a step:
Define a score trigger.
Choose the action for a score below the threshold.
Let learners who meet the threshold continue.
Apply the configured action to learners below the threshold.
Configure a condition
Add the condition to a course step in the Path Builder.
Add a course to a step in the Path Builder.
Select Add a pass mark below the course.
Enter the score threshold and choose the action.
Set the score trigger
The condition reads If they score below a percentage you set, then an action. It applies when a learner’s score falls below that percentage.
Set the threshold from 0% to 100%:
- Score below 70%: Learners who score 69% or lower trigger the condition.
- Score below 80%: A higher bar for critical training.
Choose the resulting action
Choose what happens when the trigger fires:
| Action | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Retake this step | Require the learner to repeat the current step before continuing |
| Fail the path | Mark the path as failed; an Admin or Owner must unassign it before assigning another attempt |
| Assign remedial material | Assign additional content; completion resolves the current step and continues the path without retrying the original course |
Compare condition actions
Each action changes the learner’s next step.
Retake the step
Use Retake this step when the course feedback provides enough information for another attempt.
The learner scores below the threshold.
The course resets for another attempt.
The cycle repeats until they pass or stop trying.
Fail the path
Use Fail the path when the training requires supervisor intervention after a failed attempt.
The learner scores below the threshold.
Enlytning marks the path as Failed in My assignments.
The learner cannot continue to later steps.
An Admin or Owner unassigns the failed path.
The Admin or Owner assigns the path again when another attempt is appropriate.
Consequences of failure
Assign remedial material
Use Assign remedial material when learners need more context or practice before they continue the path.
Select Assign remedial material as the action.
Select Choose remedial material, then select another published material.
Save the path.
When the learner scores below the threshold, Enlytning assigns the remedial material and pauses the path. Completing the remedial material resolves the current step, then Enlytning assigns the next step or completes the path. The original course is not retried, and its failed result remains in the learner’s history. An unsuccessful remedial attempt leaves the path paused.
Choose remedial content that addresses the expected knowledge gap.
Review example configurations
These examples show how actions support different compliance goals.
Require a compliance certification
A three-step compliance path with strict pass marks:
| Step | Material | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Regulatory Overview (Course) | Score below 80% → Retake step |
| 2 | Compliance Assessment (Course) | Score below 90% → Fail path |
| 3 | Policy Acknowledgement (Policy) | Not applicable |
Add support to onboarding
A supportive onboarding path with remedial content:
| Step | Material | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Company Culture (Course) | Not applicable |
| 2 | Systems Training (Course) | Score below 70% → Remedial: “Systems Reference” |
| 3 | Security Basics (Course) | Score below 80% → Retake step |
| 4 | Welcome Survey (Survey) | Not applicable |
Monitor condition outcomes
Review how conditions affect learner progress:
Go to Manage > Learning Paths.
Open a path and select the Assignees tab.
Check whether each learner is progressing, retaking a step, completing remedial content, or has failed the path.
Use these outcomes to find materials that need revision or learners who need support.
