Introduction
RoadMap Replay is used to reset courses and activities that need to be re-completed after a set period of time. The activities will be marked as incomplete and, RoadMap Replay will send emails out to individual users reminding them that they will need to complete the course by a certain date. This is particularly useful for compliance courses such as Health and Safety and Fire Safety where employees may need to do a refresher once a year.
Enabling RoadMap Replay on your Site
If you are already using RoadMap Replay on one of your courses, Replay has already been enabled on your site. In which case, you are able to ignore this section and move directly to the Adding RoadMap Replay to your Course.
RoadMap Replay will send out an email to users when they are are due to replay a course.
The template will determine what this email will say. Although you are able to customise this email yourself, we recomend keeping the email as broad as possible. This email will be used for all courses and must suit all aplications.
Initial Setup
To add a template, navigate to - Site Administration > Courses > Roadmap > Roadmap Reminders > Manage Templates ->Add Template
Name: course_reset
Subject: Course Reset
Enabled: Checked
Suggested Template
To start you off; below is a default template that you are able to use.
Dear {user.firstname},
As part of your learning you are required to complete {course.name} every {replay.value} {replay.span}.
As such with {replay.notifyvalue} {replay.notifyspan} left, we have reset the course and saved a copy of your last attempt. Please complete this on {course.url} by {replay.nextdue} to ensure your status stays completed!
Thank you,
{site.name}
Placeholders
The values contained within the curley brackets (eg. {course.name})are placeholders and will be replaced with the relevant information once sent to the user.
{user.firstname} - This will display the users firstname.
{course.name} - This will display the course that needs to be replayed.
{replay.value} - This will display the number of 'Days', 'Months', or 'Years' that this course is due to be replayed in. (eg. 365, 12, or 1 respectively.)

Please Note:
The Replay dates are set based on when a user completes a course. This means that each course using RoadMap Replay will be required to have the Course Completions area set up correctly, and that once the course criteria as been set, it cannot be altered as this will change the course completion date for all users currently showing as complete.
