New UI - Course Catalog Administration

With this enhancement, the Course Catalog pages are upgraded with a new user interface. With these interface changes, no functionality changes are included.

To activate the new Course Catalog Administration UI modifications, administrators can go to ADMIN > TOOLS > LEARNING > LEARNING PREFERENCES > FEATURE ACTIVATION PREFERENCES. In the User Interface Modifications section, click ACTIVATE.

Activation will update the user interface for Materials Administration, Deep Link Administration, Training Request Approval, ILT Events and Session Administration, Course Catalog Administration, and Curricula Administration. Deactivation will revert back to legacy user interface.

If activated, the new UI appears for the following:

  • Course catalog main search page
