Create Additional Fields for Internal Courses

Course and session additional fields allow you to provide standard information about your courses or sessions in courses to your learners. This information can be displayed inside a catalog of courses, in a Course Description widget, or on a session’s page in the platform. This feature allows you to create a more detailed catalog, and makes your platform’s search function easier for your learners.

To create a field:

  1. Go to Learning Setup > Courses and Learning Plans > Courses.
  2. Click the Create button and select New Additional Field.
  3. Select whether to use the field for:
    • Courses
    • ILT Sessions
  4. Note: You can only select one option, so if you need to configure a field for multiple types, you must create a copy of the field for each type.
  5. In the General Information section, select the field type from the drop-down and configure the associated settings. Then specify the field name.
  6. In the Field Settings section, select whether the field is visible to users. By enabling this option, the field will be shown in the course catalog as well as the course description widget if used for courses, or on a session’s overview page if used for ILT sessions.
  7. Click Confirm.
