Mapping a Course
Next we need to map who needs to do the course based on Business Unit, Department and/or Position. Click the tab.
If everybody in the organisation is required to do the course, you need to make the course core. Do this by clicking the Yes/no toggle switch.
Otherwise you can define who needs to do the course by using the drop-down lists, under business unit, department or position and clicking the button.

You can also do a combination of Business Unit, Department or position, for example all supervisors in the mining Department.
