Public Landing Pages are custom pages where users can log in, view announcements, or even view training content without logging in. You can create multiple landing pages for different audiences within your organization. Administration for Public Landing Pages is found near the bottom of the Administration menu. (Please contact Reflection Software about licensing this feature.)

Adding a New Landing Page
Only a name and optional description is required to create a Public Landing Page. Any changes from the default settings are set by editing an already existing landing page.

Here is where you can set basic information, select what features are included, and customize some of the text that displays.

- Header Title and Sub Title - Customize the text that displays at the top of the Landing Page.
- Logo Image URL - Set the logo image (The image needs to be hosted in an accessible directory.)
- Login Box Title - Customize the text that at the top of the login box.

Announcements Tab
Here you can select what announcements display on your Public Landing Page using the drop down box. Clicking the 'Reorder Announcements' button will allow you to drag announcements into the order you want them to appear.
Note for Video Announcements: Not all Root URLs are usable with Public Landing Pages. If you are seeing "Access Denied" error messages when trying to view a Video Announcement from a Public Landing Page, try using a different Root URL. If you are unsure which Root URL(s) to use, contact your project manager.
Public Catalog Tab
Here you can select which Learning Modules users can find from the Landing Page. The following module types are supported:
- eLearning - Users can view the course and have the option to redeem credit after completion
- Video - Users can view the video and have the option to redeem credit after completion
- Compliance - Users can only view documents. They cannot sign off.
- On the Job Training - Users can only view the form. They cannot submit.
- Self Study - Users can only view the form. They cannot submit.
See the below section on completing modules for credit for more information on how that works with Landing Pages.
Also note that you can get retrieve a direct link to each Learning Module on the Landing Page.
Note for eLearning and Video modules: Not all Root URLs are usable with Public Landing Pages. If you are seeing "Access Denied" error messages when trying to launch a Video or eLearning from a Public Landing Page, try using a different Root URL. If you are unsure which Root URL(s) to use, contact your project manager.
Trending Now Tab
The 'Trending Now' section of a Landing Page shows a ranked list of content with the most views in a recent period of time. It automatically shows active announcements and content in the Public Catalog.
You can select the timeframe for how far it should look back to tabulate views (between 1 week and 1 month) and set how many items show. The title for the 'Trending Now' section is also set on this tab.
You also have some manual control of the ranking:
- If you do not want an item to appear in 'Trending Now', use the drop-down and select 'Never'.
- If you want an item to always appear at the top, select 'Pinned'. The order of pinned modules and announcements is set by using the text boxes under 'Rank' at the left. Simply enter numbers for all pinned modules and click 'Apply Pinned Order'.
Dashboard Courses Tab
On this tab, you can control which Dashboard Courses Collections appear on the landing page. By default all Dashboard Courses with at least one module in the Public Catalog will appear, but you can choose to hide certain Dashboard Courses by checking the box at the right and clicking 'Update'.
Completing Modules for Credit
Video and eLearning modules can be completed for credit from Public Landing Pages. When a users completes one of these module types, they will see the pop-up below.
There are two ways to receive credit:
- The user can enter their login credentials receive credit immediately
- The user can save a redemption code and enter that later when they log in. (They can write down the code or have it emailed to them.)
Redemption codes can be used on the student dashboard at the bottom on the 'Redeem' tab. The user should enter the code and click 'Redeem' and the completed module will be added to their history.
