Landing Pages

Landing pages can be used as curated resource pages to display related content and announcements. You could create resource pages for departments, a specific training curriculum, or groups of associates. Landing Pages can also act as custom Login Pages with information that is publicly accessible.

Adding a New Landing Page

Creating a new landing page is pretty simple. First, navigate to the Administration menu and under the “Social” Header select Landing Pages. Press the ‘Add New’ button at the top right, and fill in the following fields:

• Landing Page Name: Enter in a name that will only be used for administrative purposes to identify the page. This will not show to end-users.

• Description: This will give administrators information about the purpose for this page and will also be visible to end-users.

• Administrator Notes: This can be used to make any extra notes for administrative purposes. This will not show to end-users.

• Header Title: This will show as the title for the page

• Header Sub Title: This will show under the main title of the page

Information Tab

After going through the initial set up of the landing page, you will find that the previously set fields can be updated and there will be additional controls/settings available.

Information

Here you will see many of the original text fields when creating a new Landing Page, along with some new controls.

Public Access

Public Landing pages can be used as custom login pages that also display announcements or content that you’d like to be publicly accessible to associates without having to log in. You can have multiple external landing pages to provide separate login pages for different banners, departments, or companies. Some options over Public Access are listed below.

The Collapsible Login Box will hide the login box until the user expands the area. The red outlined image is before expanded and the green outlined image is after it is expanded.

Landing Page Layout

Four central portions make up Landing pages, the Hero Image, the Announcements, the Content Catalog, and the Trending Now list. Each section can be disabled independently of another (besides the Trending Now list), requiring the Catalog to be enabled.

Announcement Tab

The Announcement Tab is the place for administrators to organize and add announcements to public or private landing pages. Clicking on the central dropdown menu will bring up a list of announcements. Then, by either scrolling or searching for an announcement, press the green plus icon to add it to the Landing Page.

Catalog Tab

The Catalog tab is where admins can add Learning Modules to the landing page. The types of Learning Modules supported in the Catalog Tab on Public Landing Pages are as follows:

• 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.

While in an Authenticated Landing Page content will be added to the users' development plan, and can be completed from there.

The “Select a Learning Module” box is how you add Learning Modules to the Landing Page. You can search and scroll for a specific announcement and then click the green “+” to add the selected Learning Module. Each column can be used as the sorting justifier by clicking on the column header.

Collections Tab

The Collections tab automatically shows which Collections are available to be shown based on which modules are available in the Catalog for that Landing Page. If one or more Modules from that Collection are available in the Catalog, then that Collection will appear on this page and by default be shown on the Landing Page.

You can view which module(s) from the Catalog are a part of each Collection by clicking on the “View Learning Modules” link, or you can hide any Collection from this Landing Page by checking the box in the “Hide” column on the far right side of the screen.

Trending Now Tab

The Trending Now section of the 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 calculate views (between 1 week and 1 month) and set how many items show. The Title for the ‘Trending Now’ section is also editable in this tab.

For announcements that are pinned, The order or “Rank” is editable by the administrator. On the left side of the announcement a text box appears where the rank can be edited, lower numbers will rise to the top. After selecting the rank of each pinned announcement press the “Apply Pinned Order” to change the order in the LMS.

Audience

The Audience acts as a filter for who can see a landing page while logged in. The Audience filter does not affect unauthenticated users for publicly available landing pages and only affects users who are logged in.

Completing Modules for Credit

Video and eLearning modules can be completed for credit from Public Landing Pages. When a user 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 of the 'Redeem' tab. The user should enter the code and click 'Redeem .' The completed module will be added to their history.
