Use Employee progress when you want to see how your employees are doing in a learning journey. This is where Knowly shows participant progress, answers, submissions, and activity results that are available to you as a manager.
Inside an activity, you often see a preview of what the participant was asked to do. To see what the participant answered or submitted, go to Employee progress.
Note for admins and trainers. This article is about Employee progress, which is the manager view — scoped to the participants assigned to you as a manager. For the full-journey view including the per-activity completion overview ("Breakdown per activity"), use the engagement view inside the learning journey — see Reading the engagement view.
Open Employee progress
Open the learning journey as a manager and choose Employee progress in the menu.
From there, you can usually switch between:
Overview. A broad view of how the group is doing.
Breakdown per employee. A person-by-person view. Use this when you want to understand one employee's progress.
Breakdown per activity. An activity-by-activity view. Use this when you want to see how your employees handled one specific activity.
The exact information depends on the activities in the learning journey and what your organization has chosen to share with managers.
What you can see
In Employee progress, you may see:
whether an employee has opened or completed an activity
assignment submissions that need review
quiz or knowledge test results
micro training answers and reflections
activity-level completion across your employees
For some activities, you can open more detail, view the content, or review a submission directly from the progress view.
Micro training answers are always shared with managers. When a participant types a reflection, answers a poll, or fills in any other input inside a micro training, that response is visible to you in Employee progress. There's no per-activity setting that hides micro training answers from managers — if you're missing what you expected to see, it's because the participant hasn't completed that part yet, not because the activity opted out.
Evaluations are the exception. Evaluation answers in Knowly are always anonymous — you'll see the responses but not which employee gave each one, even when other activity types show per-person results. This is how the activity type works and isn't a setting that can be changed.
Why answers are not always inside the activity preview
Knowly separates two jobs:
Activity preview. This lets you understand what your employee was asked to do.
Employee progress. This is where you follow what your employee actually did, answered, or submitted when that information is shared with you.
If you open a micro training or another activity and only see the structure, that does not necessarily mean answers are missing. Go to Employee progress to check the participant results.
Why a participant can complete a micro training without answering
Micro training slide elements — text inputs, reflection prompts, polls — don't have a "must answer to continue" mode. A participant can step through a micro training and mark it complete without typing anything into the input fields, and their submission still counts as completion. There's no setting to make a written answer required in this activity type.
If you need participants to submit a response before the activity counts as done, use an Assignment instead — that's the activity type designed around a required submission. See Assignment vs Micro training.
If you cannot see expected progress
If progress or answers look missing, ask the organization running the learning journey to check:
whether you are assigned to the right employees
whether the activity has been sent to those employees yet
whether the employee has completed the activity (or has reached the question, in the case of a multi-slide micro training)
whether the activity type is one that shares per-person responses (Evaluations are anonymous)
