Q: What is the best way to connect with other Initiate Subscribers or NI staff?
A: We host “Train the Trainer” webinars every other month. These webinars provide a great opportunity for Advisors to learn about engaging Learners and connecting with Advisor peers that are also using Initiate. If you have a platform issue or suggestion, submit a ticket via the Customer Support Form and the Initiate team will reach out to you shortly.
Q: What is the difference between Active Time and Resource Completion Time on the Initiate reports?
Active Time represents all of the time spent looking at resources on Initiate. If a user views a resource but does not press the complete button, that time will be recorded in Active Time. Resource Completion Time is the time recorded for all resources that a user has officially completed by clicking the “Complete,” button.
Q: A learner has joined Initiate under our organization but we do not recognize them. What should I do?
Please reach out to the Initiate team via the Customer Support Form. A user may have clicked your organization by mistake or did not see the organization they work with. We can find where that user belongs and move them over.
