If multiple learners reach a suspension in their programme at the same time, you can put them onto a Break-in-learning in bulk. To do this:
In the Learner List, use the tickboxes at the left of the list to select the learners you want to put onto a break. The tickbox at the top of the list can be used to select all learners in the list.
Once you start selecting records, options will appear at the top of the list to Start and End breaks in learning. Select Start Break-in-learning.
This will open a window where you can specify the Last Day in Learning for the learners. Selecting this field will open a calendar date selector. Any user-defined fields you have added for breaks in learning will not be available in the bulk tool.
Once you have finished, select Start Break-in-learning to confirm the break or Cancel to discard it. You will be informed if any learners could not be processed for any reason. Once the changes have been made, you will be shown an option to Refresh Learner list to reflect the changes.
The Programme Status for each specified learner will then change to Break-in-learning. This will be shown with a black flag in the Learner List. All ILR Aims will have their Completion Status set to 6: Temporarily Withdrawn from the Aim, with the Actual End date set to the start of the break.
