THE HOMEPAGE & MENU

FINDING THE RIGHT CONTENT

LET'S FILTER

The homepage is your key to finding content in the platform.  While different users have differentversions of the homepage (and menu) they are all geared toward the same purpose:Identifying any deadlines or upcoming events for your trainingStarting and completing the content you are enrolled inFinding new content that may be relevant to you

In each version of the home page, the layout is the same.  Any important deadlines, events, or activitieswill be at the top.  That is followed by your enrolled content; courses that you or a trainer from your teamhave assigned to you.  After getting through your enrolled courses and learning plans, the rest of thehome page is for exploring what the platform has to offer.Each of these items also have dedicated pages in the menu.  If you want to find upcoming deadlines or events, look for "My Calendar" or "My Activities".  To see yourenrolled content, go to the "My Courses & Learning Plans" page.  Finally, to explore new content

offerings use "Course Catalog" or "All Channels".

THE HOMEPAGE & MENU

FINDING THE RIGHT CONTENT

LET'S FILTER

While you are exploring the platform, there are a few things you can do to find the course or learningplan you are looking for.  The first, and hopefully most apparent, is the search bar at the top of the LMSwindow.  This search bar is always available from any page within the platform.

THE HOMEPAGE & MENU

FINDING THE RIGHT CONTENT

LET'S FILTER

The second way to find what you are looking for is available within any of the coursebrowsers available on the homepage or within the catalog or channel pages, and that is

filtering. As you can see, there are options to filter, search, and sort content in all of the enrolledcontent.  There are tons of filter options, let's highlight a few of the key filters that may be

the most useful:

Is the content you are looking for a Learning Plan, E-learning course,

Type

or Instructor-led training?

EnrollmentStatus

Filter courses or learning plans by what you have completed, have in

progress or haven't started.

Deadline

Look for content with deadlines within the given timeframes

The filter options are not one size fits all.  Feel free to mix and match different filters toeither find the specific content you want or hide the content you don't want at the

moment.
