Student Dashboard
Collections appear on the Student Dashboard as a way of showing training to users with more context. They can also be used to recommend content to users.
Creating a Collection
In order to fill your Collection with content. You must associate a Course with the Learning Module(s). To do this go to Learning Module’s administration page and select the Courses tab to add the Courses you wish to associate that Learning Module with.
Select Add Learning Module to Course(s) to bring up the popup window to search for Courses. Once you have found the Course(s) you are looking for, click the box on the right to select it. Then to confirm your selection, click Return Selected Course(s).
Once the Course is added, you can now make it a Collection. To do this, navigate to Course administration for the Course you are using.
Select the Dashboard tab.
Select the Make a Collection checkbox to make this Course a Collection and reveal more options.
Here you may edit the Collection to display in the Catalog, assign a personnel thumbnail image, customize the Empty Dev Plan Message, and further filter who can see this Collection by Positions.
Note: The Courses Position filter will not make Collections visible on the recommended tab alone. There must be a Tag on the Learning Modules with the appropriate filters to appear on a user’s student dashboard.
Once you have finished making your changes. Select Update to finalize them.
This will automatically add the Course as a Collection. Though you can also add content through Collection Administration.
Creating a Collection through Collection Administration
Navigate to Collection Administration by going to the top menu bar and selecting Learning and then click Collections. It will then bring you to a window similar to this.
Once here, select the Content textbox and type in the Course Name that you wish to add. Once found click on it and select either Add to Top or Add to Bottom to make the Course a Collection.
Adding a Landing Page as a Collection
You may also add a Landing Page as a Collection to better organize your content. This can be done in two ways. First you can add it directly in Collections Administration by searching for the Landing Page’s Header Title in the Content search bar. Then after confirming your selection click either Add to Top or Add to Bottom to add the Landing Page as a Collection.
