What are Categories and how do I use them?

Administrators can now assign Categories to Learning Paths and Courses. An example of this could be an "Onboarding" Category, where Admins could place relevant onboarding content, so new Learners would know where to look first when first logging into their training system.

This feature is disabled by default and must be turned on. If you’d like to add this feature, contact support or your Account Executive. Once it’s turned enabled, Admins can find this new feature under the top menu Content tab, then by clicking the Categories tab to the left of their screen.

How do Learners use Categories?

Learners can go to Home page and see categories under any learning path card, right under the learning path title. If there are more than one category for a learning path, then learner sees "VIEW CATEGORIES (x)" link.

While in Learning Paths page, learners can also see categories under the learning path title/banner. If there are more than one category for a learning path, then learner sees all the categories in a comma-delimited list.

Learner can drill into each category and see a summary of all the learning paths and courses underneath, and the progress of each course.
