Send Notice
Send Notice implementation requirement is to notify (train) people affected by an MOC. It is automatically added to all MOCs and all profiles within a division as a mandatory implementation requirement.
Below are the guidelines for the Send Notice
- It can be set up as a critical or non-critical requirement when added to an MOC, either directly or via a profile.
If set up as a critical requirement (recommended), it can be completed only after all lower order critical requirements are completed.
- The MOC cannot be started up until the Send Notice is complete.
- The MOC cannot be closed out until all sign offs have been completed.
- The notice can be sent out by skillsets* and/or by people's names. When send notice by skillsets is selected, the people who are assigned the skillsets are notified.
If you have skillsets set up in a division, sending notice by skillsets is recommended, to prevent from having to select people individually for every notice.
- An MOC may also have an optional Send Second Notice implementation requirement if desired.
- A prerequisite training can be attached to a Send Notice requirement and is assigned automatically along with the MOC sign-off.
- Example: Using Frontline LMS, you can create a training item (such as a web-based course - WBT, a classroom training - ILT or a procedure - DOC) to train people on an MOC. This training item can be a pre-requisite for the MOC sign-off. The people who have been sent notice must complete this training item before being allowed to sign off on the MOC.
Send Notice Process
- The Send Notice Implementer completes the Send Notice requirement, generating one or more training assignments (sign-offs) that uses the MOC summary page as the learning content. A sign-off link is added to the bottom of the summary page.
- The new training assignment is added to the system desktop Training tab of the people ("Learners") to whom the Implementer sent notice. Learners selecting on the assignment are displayed a link View MOC Summary & Sign-Off.
If a pre-requisite training is attached to the Send Notice requirement as explained below, the learner is not allowed to select on the MOC summary until the pre-requisite training is completed.
- The learner views and signs off on the MOC.
If the sign-off is for Send Second Notice, comments entered by the Implementer are displayed above the sign-off link.
- Upon sign-off, a completion record is written, and the assignment is removed from the learners' Frontline Desktops.
- Following the completion of the Send Notice requirement by the Implementer the MOC will move on to the rest of the workflow as described below.
- If there is an additional critical requirement to be completed the MOC moves to the next implementation task.
- If the Send Notice is the last critical requirement the MOC will be sent to the implementation manager's desktop with the MOC Startup task.
- If the Send Notice is the last non-critical requirement and the MOC has been started up the MOC will be sent to the originator's desktop with the MOC Complete (close-out) task.
- The originator or an MOC power user can continue to add people to the Send Notice after the Send Notice is complete, until the MOC is complete (closed out).
- A learner can re-review this sign-off or any past sign-offs by selecting on the MOC Sign-offs link on their Frontline Desktops. This is useful in cases where the process documentation has not been updated for the changes prior to startup.
