What I am currently seeing in the Academy videos, is different to what I see in my Version of WinAutomation/ProcessRobot. Why is this?
Note that all WinAutomation or ProcessRobot courses and topics covered in
the Academy are based on the WinAutomation Professional Plus Edition and ProcessRobot latest version respectively. Most probably, the version you are using is
not the latest, or the highest available. If this is not the case, please
contact us at academy@softomotive.com
Why can’t I open or access a Section in a Course?
Each Course has been developed in Sections to make it easy and to ensure that learning occurs progressively in small segments. As you move through each Section of a Course, you will increase your knowledge about different subjects.
To ensure that you go through a Course and get the most out of each topic, different materials have been developed. Some of these are considered essential learning and others are recommended for you to take.
To ensure that you visit all Sections and increase your knowledge in the Product, essential learning materials have been locked.
With this in mind you will not be able to access a Section or proceed to the next topic within a Course until you have completed the essential training material.
A Section will be marked as completed when you have viewed all Learning activities.
Similarly, you will see a completion percentage as you progress through the Course. 100 per cent is reached if you have completed all Sections of a Course and have reviewed all materials in these.
Where can I ask for support if there are technical issues
with the Softomotive Academy e.g. The Platform is down?
If you are having difficulties with the Learning Management
System (LMS) Platform send an email to academy@softomotive.com . Provide as much detail as possible as well
as a screenshot outlining the challenge you are facing.
