Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my formula is correct?

Click the test button after setting up the formula. The system will display a list of learners who meet the criteria.

What is a preset formula?

Preset formulas are standard criteria rules already built by d6. Select one from the dropdown to save time instead of building a formula from scratch.
