User Interface Modifications for Learning Administration Pages (Early Adopter)

This collection of enhancements for the November ’23 release is part of the larger initiative to provide a modern, consistent, improved administrator experience to our customers. We are improving the user interface (UI) of previously released Learning Administration pages based on customer feedback. You can ensure they are right for your team by taking a test drive on stage before implementing them in production. You can introduce these new features in production via Learning Feature Activation Preferences. If you want to turn off these features and revert back to your prior experience in production or stage, you can disable them.

With this enhancement, the following pages are further upgraded:

  • ILT Events and Session Administration
  • ILT Roster
  • Materials Administration
  • Course Catalog Administration
  • Curricula Administration
  • Deep Link Administration
  • Training Request Approval
  • Certification Administration

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The original pages are still behind a single feature preference setting but based on customer feedback, all new pages have their own feature preference. Course Catalog Administration, Deep Link Administration, Materials Administration, Curricula Administration, Training Request Approval, and ILT Events and Session Administration remain behind a single feature activation preference that allows administrators to enable or disable all these pages at the same time. For example, you cannot disable Course Catalog Administration but enable Curricula Administration. You can enable or disable Certification Administration, Test Engine Administration, or ILT Roster separately as these pages have their own feature activation preference.

Yes, until the deprecation in Q3 2024, the feature preferences can be enabled or disabled at any time. When a preference is changed, a user must log out and log in for the change to take effect.

Implementation

All pages are automatically enabled in stage portals on October 18. Activation is required in production portals for all organizations using the Learning module. Customers who have activated the previously released pages with new UI in production will continue to see these pages with new changes applied.

Note: The UI modifications for Materials Administration, Deep Link Administration, Training Request Approval, ILT Events and Session Administration, Course Catalog Administration, Curricula Administration, ILT Roster, Certification Administration, Test Administration were previously released with July '23 release. Customers who had already enabled the above-mentioned UI modifications in July via feature activation will see the UI modifications of November '23 in production automatically. Customers who never enabled the UI modifications from July '23 releases will continue to see the old legacy user interface. Customers can also revert back to legacy UI by deactivating feature preferences.
