How can I find how long a lab will be saved?

The length of time a lab is saved is determined by several factors, among them: a user's roles, the type of learning (Instructor-led vs. Self-Paced) and Class Sessions scheduled.

Standard lab saves are as follows:

• Users with the Operations Manager role can save 2 labs for 7 days.

• Users with an Instructor role can save 5 labs for 7 days.

• Students can save up to 2 labs:

  • Self-paced learning through a course assignment provides 7-day lab saves

  • Instructor-led training scheduled on consecutive class days has 7-day lab saves

  • Instructor-led training scheduled on non-consecutive class days has 7-day lab saves

We can set up lab saves outside of these defaults for special circumstances when necessary. If you need labs in a class to be saved for a different time period, please submit a Support ticket at https://skill.info/support.
