Creating and completing a DOR

Who this is for

FTOs, supervisors, and program admins. Each DOR belongs to one program enrollment — confirm the active trainee on Dashboard before you start.

Before you start

1. Open Dashboard → Active trainee.
2. Select the trainee (optional Team filter).
3. The app remembers this enrollment for New DOR, checklists, objectives, and reports.

Any FTO in the program may work with any trainee in that program unless your agency policy says otherwise.

Start or resume a DOR

New DOR

DORs → New DOR (also from Dashboard or All DORs → New DOR).
