Time Estimates

Learn more about how Trainual calculates training time estimates and how to tailor them to your needs.


Trainual auto-calculates read times for all subjects and documents so you can plan your training sessions and onboarding with ease.


📝 Please note: This article is best suited for Billing Admin and Admin permissions.


What do time estimates look like?

Estimated read time counts appear at the subject and document level, and overview the time it would take to complete that content while you are editing content.

 

Your teammates will see the same estimated read time completion numbers at the subject and document level, as they are consuming content.

 

Your teammates will also be able to view the total reading time left for all incomplete subjects assigned to them on their Home page.


How can time estimates be customized?

If your training uses a lot of embedded items, it is likely that the automatic time estimate numbers aren't 100% accurate.

Don't panic! These numbers can be manually edited at the document level to more accurately reflect subject training times. 🙌

  1. Navigate to the "Content" page from the left-hand menu.
  2. Open a subject from within the tab where it currently is housed — Company, Policies, or Processes.
  3. Click on any document's estimated read time number to begin editing.
  4. Select the "Customized reading time" option from the pop-up menu and adjust the estimated hours and minutes to your choosing using those drop-down menus.
  5. Hit "Save" to push your changes through. You'll see the total subject read time adjusted to match once you refresh the page. 🥳

 

 

FAQs

Do automatic read time estimates include embedded video watch times?
No. The read time estimate feature excludes the time it would take your teammates to watch any embedded videos fully.
