Get the newest version of the program. Updates are free, and your staff, modules, and training records are never touched.
From version 2.1 on, ScriptLMS installs its own updates — one click, a few seconds, nothing to upload.
Log in as an admin. When an update is ready, a green Update badge shows next to License in the sidebar — click it.
The program downloads the update from ScriptLMS.com, checks that it really came from ScriptLMS, makes a full backup, and installs it. Every update is signed by ScriptLMS, and anything else is refused.
When it's done, the page reloads showing the new version, and the green badge is gone. If anything went wrong partway through, every file is put back the way it was and nothing is changed.
Some servers and company networks don't allow outside connections. Install Now will tell you if yours doesn't — then do it this way instead. Your own computer does the downloading.
Click Download Update above and save the .zip to your computer. Don't unzip it.
On the License page, under Updates, click 📦 Install Update and choose the .zip you downloaded. It's checked, backed up, and installed exactly the same way as Install Now.
Only needed if your License page doesn't have Install Now (versions before 2.1), or if it says your server won't let the program replace its own files. If someone else manages your server, just send them the link to this page.
In your admin panel, open Backup & Restore and download a backup. The update won't touch your data, but it's always wise to have one.
Update outside training hours if you can. While files are uploading, a page may briefly show an error — that clears on its own as soon as the upload finishes.
Click Download Update above, then unzip the file on your computer.
Upload the unzipped files into the same folder ScriptLMS is installed in, using your host's File Manager or an FTP program — the same way you installed it. When asked, choose to replace / overwrite the existing files. Don't delete your current install first.
Log in as an admin and open the License page. It should show the new version number, and the green Update badge in the sidebar will be gone. From then on, Install Now handles every update for you.
Floor plans, drawings, manuals, and nameplate photos in one place in 🛠️ Maintenance. Keep related files together in named groups, find one by any word or serial number, zoom in on a picture, and print the whole thing or just the part you zoomed in on. Every file keeps its own name, and it's all in your backups.
Work orders staff send from their training page, Life Safety & PM sign-offs on any schedule from daily to every few years, your own forms signed on screen (or start from fourteen ready-made ones, like a fire drill, a weekly life safety inspection, a generator test, a fire damper inspection, and a room turn), equipment and air filters, and inspector-ready reports. Free with every license, and off until you turn it on in 🛠️ Maintenance > Settings.
Any form can now be scheduled or attached to a work order. Attach one, like the new Room Turn (make-ready), when a work order is created, and the maintenance team fills it in right on the work order, a bit at a time if it takes a few days. It prints with the work order. Choose who can attach one in 🛠️ Maintenance > Settings.
Lay out any form upright or sideways. A Landscape form fills in and prints sideways on its own, and a long form shows in the builder as separate pages, each with its letterhead, exactly as it will print.
The Dashboard now shows who's past due and who has training coming due in the next 14 days, the moment you sign in — beside the Maintenance box when Maintenance is on, always the same height. Click any line to open the Due Dates Report, or drag the lines to go back to one you missed.
Install Now and Install Update only accept updates signed by ScriptLMS, check every file, and make a full backup first. If anything goes wrong partway through, everything is put back as it was.
Version 2.1 was stress-tested with 10,000 staff and over 110,000 training assignments. Staff search is instant at any size, pages that work out due dates are up to 15 times faster for large staffs, and Bulk Import shows a progress bar.
For approved CE providers: ask for a short evaluation at the end of any module, see every answer in one printable report, and print your approval statement on the module's certificates. Turn it on only where you need it.
See when each person signed in and out, and how much of that time was actually spent learning. Open it from the Completion Report, choose any dates, and print it for an audit.
Learning time stops at a person's last movement when they step away. Switching to another tab, window, or program pauses their video and audio until they come back.
No problem. Every update contains the complete program, so you can go straight to the newest version from any older one — no need to install the ones in between.
Nothing stops working if you stay on the version you have. Update whenever it suits you, or whenever your IT department can get to it.
