Quickly navigate through courses and curriculum available, based on filters or categories. Snap to thumbnail or card views for more details.
The learning management page, which can be personalized with a description and heading of your choice, replaces the old course catalog section and houses the new curriculum and course display options.
Title: How to Set Default View and Sort Order in the LMS Course Catalog
Overview
An enhancement now allows Super Admin users to configure the default view mode and default sorting for the LMS Course Catalog at the company level. These settings define how course content appears for all users by default, enhancing content accessibility and alignment with organizational needs.
Where This Setting Is Found
- Navigate to the Course Catalog section within the LMS.
Click the Edit icon located on the course catalog banner.
Configurable Options
Within the banner’s edit interface (bottom section), you’ll find two dropdowns:
1. Default View Mode
- Options typically include:
List View: Displays courses in a compact table-style layout.
Grid View: Shows courses as visual tiles or cards.
2. Default Sorting
- Allows sorting courses by:
Alphabetical Order (A–Z or Z–A)
Newest First / Oldest First
Custom Defined Order (if applicable)
Once selected, the chosen view and sorting mode are automatically applied across the course catalog.
Affected Areas
These configurations apply globally to the following tabs within the Course Catalog:
- All Courses
- My Courses
Assigned Courses
Completed Courses
Users will see the course layout based on the default settings defined by the Super Admin unless they manually override it.
Summary
This update empowers Super Admins to manage the presentation of learning content more effectively. By setting default view and sort preferences, companies can streamline LMS usage and improve learner engagement.
