Managing Categories and Highlights

Learn how to organize your training library using Categories and promote key courses on your homepage with Content Highlights.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

A well-organized training library is essential for a great user experience. When employees can easily find relevant content, they are more likely to engage with it.

GFoundry provides two primary tools to structure and promote your content: Categories and Content Highlights.

Organizing Content with Categories

Categories are the primary way to structure your training catalog. Think of them as folders or sections that group related courses together, allowing users to browse and find content logically.

Examples of Categories: "Leadership Skills," "Compliance," "Product Training," or "Wellbeing."

How to Create and Manage a Category:

  1. From the backoffice menu, navigate to Learn > Categories. Here you will see a list of all existing categories.

  2. Click the Add Category + button to create a new one.

  3. A details panel will appear on the right side of the screen. Fill in the required information:

    • Category Name: The title that users will see.

    • Category Color: A color code for easy visual identification in the backoffice.

    • Image: Upload an icon or image to represent the category. You can also add specific background images for web and mobile views.

  4. Click Save or Update to finalize the category.

How to Add Courses to a Category:

After a category is created, you can populate it with courses.

  1. From the Categories List, click on the name of the category you wish to manage.

  2. On the category's detail page, you will see a panel on the left titled "Category Content Items."

  3. Click the Add Content Item + button to select and add existing "Learn Content" items to this category.

Promoting Courses with Content Highlights

Content Highlights are used to feature specific courses or collections on your user-facing homepage. This is the perfect tool for promoting new, popular, or mandatory training that you want to draw special attention to.

How to Create a Highlight Block:

  1. From the backoffice menu, navigate to Learn > Content Highlights.

  2. Create a new highlight block and give it a descriptive name (e.g., "New This Month," "Essential for Your Role").

  3. Once the block is created, open it and click the Add Content + button.

  4. Select the "Learn Content" items that you want to feature in this curated collection.

Once saved, this highlight block will be displayed prominently to your users, helping to drive engagement with your key training initiatives.
