  Key Concepts: 
  Initial period is a feature in the SuccessFactors Learning Management System (LMS) that allows administrators to set a period of time for learners to complete their assigned courses. This period is usually set to a few weeks or months, depending on the complexity of the course and the amount of time needed for learners to complete it. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the initial period feature, administrators must first create a course and assign it to learners. Once the course is assigned, administrators can set an initial period for the course. This period can be set in days, weeks, or months. Once the initial period has been set, learners will have that amount of time to complete the course before it expires. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting an initial period for a course, administrators should consider the complexity of the course and how much time learners will need to complete it. It is also important to keep in mind that if learners do not complete the course within the initial period, they will not be able to access it again.
