Manage Categories and Topics

- New Dayforce Learning -

In the Admin > Categories & topics screen of Dayforce Learning, you can create categories and topics to help organize and structure your learning content in Dayforce Learning. Categories identify a theme for content, and topics identify the subject matter. For example, you might have a “Security” category that includes the topics “Passwords” and “IT Safety.”

Administrators can use these categories and topics to build custom learning catalogs based on the organization’s needs. Topic tags are shown for content in the learning catalog and learners can filter by topic and category to find content that’s relevant to their needs.

In the Admin > Categories & topics screen, you can localize category and topic labels so that learners, managers, and administrators see catalog navigation and filters in their preferred language. If a category or topic label isn’t configured for a user’s preferred language, it’s shown in the default language instead.

To create a new category or topic:

1. Go to Dayforce Learning and click the Admin tab.
2. In the Learning section of the side panel, click Categories & topics.
3. Do one of the following:
   • Click the Categories tab, and then click New category.
   • Click the Topics tab, and then click New topic.
4. Enter a title and, optionally, link the new item to existing topics or categories.
5. (Optional) Click the Set language drop-down list and select the default language for the category or topic. After setting the default language, you can click the language drop-down list to add more languages, change the default language, or remove languages.
6. Click Confirm.
