  • If an activity is part of a curriculum, register at the user at the curriculum level which will also allow you to register for any child activities part of that curriculum
  • Registrations display on the learner’s timeline (accessible from Assigned Learning on the home page)
  • Users can self-register via the REGISTER button on any activity within SumTotal
  • Registering a user does NOT assign them to the activity (with due dates and notifications)

Step 7: You will have a few options on how to select your users (by domain, organization, job, audience, manager, or viewable users). Click on the radio dial next to Select viewable users and click on the Next button.

Best Practice: If you have more than a handful of users to register, it is best to use a list of CalStateEduPersionIDs (CEPIDs) separated by a comma in the select users box. If you only have a few users to add, use the select viewable users.

Step 9: Once you’ve selected users:
