RALS v6.0 SP8, introduced a file-based Learning Management System (LMS) feature that enables you to connect your RALS system data to any LMS, such as HealthStream, WorkDay, Saba-Cloud, or Cornerstone (Figure 1).
To update operator certifications from an LMS, we need the LMS to be able to provide RALS with a .csv file that contains a few specific fields (Table 1).
That file will be stored on the D: drive on the RALS system server and your RALS system will use it to update the operators’ device specific exam date.
Figure 1: RALS support for LMS integration is done by reading a .csv file stored by the LMS and retrieved from the RALS server. The process will be set to run automatically every day at a specified time of day RALS will update operator device certification exam dates based on the information received.
FIELD NAME | DESCRIPTION | NOTE |
| Operator ID | Required - RALS Operator ID | Must be an operator ID that exists in the RALS system |
| Device Type Number | Required - Numeric identifier for the device type associated the operators certification | Must be a valid RALS system device type |
| Exam Date | Required - Date exam the LMS course was completed | Example formats: 18 Jan 2021 1/18/2021 |
Table 1: The .csv file must contain the specific fields shown above.
There is no cost to update your RALS system to Version 6.0 SP8 but there is one-time implementation fee to add the File-based LMS support to your RALS system.
