Overview
I-TECH has created a new web application called TrainSMARTTraining System Monitoring and Reporting Tool. This guide provides user training of the new system.

Terminology
There are many terms used throughout this document to describe various parts of the sites. They are defined below.

Main menu

Drop-down list Labels Disabled (grayed out) Type-ahead box

Button

Main menu: How you navigate through the site. Clicking on an option on the main menu will display the drop-down menu underneath. Then you select the page you want to go to. Drop-down box: Click on the down arrow to display your choices and then select from the list. Disabled field: If the field is grayed out that means it cannot be used until something else is activated. In this case, you must pick a Region first, and then the District box will be activated. Labels: In this application, some of the labels can be modified by country. For example, Training Name could be Training Title or Region could be State. See Edit Country Options for more details.

Existing facilities with names containing the matching letters will display underneath the box. If the facility exists in the system already, select it from the list.
