In the LMS Admin side menu you can find the Settings section, with a series of features to customise the platform. In this article we are going to review them.

General

The first section collects some general aspects related to the settings of the contents, specifically with user participation and gamification.

• Participation of users:
  • Allow comments: check this flag so that the Training Details tab will display the option to allow student comments on Activities (on each particular training you can enable or disable them)
  • Allow assessments: check this flag so that in the Training Details tab the option to allow students to leave a review upon completion of the Course appears (on each particular training you can enable or disable it)
• Gamificación:
  • Enable gamification: check this flag so that in the Course Details tab the option to gamify the content by awarding points to the students appears (you can leave the points box at 0)
  • Enable higher score: check this flag so that in the Course Details tab the option to allow the students to see a ranking of the scores obtained in the course appears (on each particular training you can enable or disable it)

Connectors

This section refers to the connectivity of the portal with other platforms or external applications.

• LRS: enables or disables support for external LRS for data logging in xAPI type activities
• LTI: enables or disables the integration of external LTI contents in the portal. Clicking on it you access a new menu from where to add and configure the providers
• MS Teams: enables or disables the integration with the Microsoft Teams messaging application to create and associate a chat room to a meeting. Clicking on it you can configure the parameters of your private client
• Hotjar: activate or deactivate the integration with this product experience insights platform. Click on it to access a new menu where you can add your user ID

For LMS integration with Hotjar it is necessary to activate this connector in LMS, and configure the add-on from the Hotjar environment. More information in the Help center and the Product guides.

Addons

Here you will find new features that have been integrated into the platform, activated for automatic use.

• Catalogs: these allow you to add contents to thematic directories created by you to share them with certain groups of users within your organization. Clicking on it you can create and edit catalogs, and assign companies and authors to them
• Multi-language: allows you to add different translations to the same content so that it is displayed in LMS in the language selected by the student. Clicking on it shows a list of the languages available on the platform
• Manager Report: access to the My team tool, which allows you to view a progress report of the users under your management. If you click on it you can activate or deactivate access, and optionally add the link to an external dashboard.

Labels

This is the Tags Manager, where you can visualize all the tags available in the platform and edit them.

Extended fields

In this section you can find an Extended Fields manager, the ones that you can add and customise in the Details menu.

You see a list of the fields already created where you can:

• create a new extended field with the New Field button. There are four types of extended fields:
  • Date, for the user to choose any date
  • List, for the user to choose from a list of options you provide
  • String, for the user to enter a text response
  • Number, for the user to enter a numeric character
    
    
    
    
• search among the fields created by typing in the Search box
• click on the three dots icon to choose one of the options:
  • Details to edit the field.
  • Delete to permanently delete the field.
    
    

Customization

Two options for customising the portal interface:

• Appearance: customize the appearance of the portal, changing the Image of the logo, and selecting the primary and secondary Colors for menus, buttons, graphic elements...
  
  
• Custom literals: edit the name of the training entities (courses and pathways) for the different languages
  
  

Carousels

In the last section you find the Carousel Manager, a tool where you can create and edit the customized carousels that will be displayed in the LMS and to which you can add the contents you want.

A maximum of 12 customized carousels can be created. A message at the top tells you how many more carousels you can create, when you reach the limit the message will disappear.
