ENHANCEMENT: Simplified Student, Manager Workflow from Navigation Page 1/16/2018 - Posted by Sarah Robinson

We streamlined the Student and Manager Workflow from the Navigation menu by creating simpler, sleeker LMS pages for each icon. Click the header grid   icon to access new pages that function exactly as their classic counterparts, but do not include the "My Learning Center" menu, navigation tabs, or page descriptions. System and training administrators continue to access their legacy features via a new Administration page that provides the standard "My Learning Center" menu. Once a user lands on the Administration or Classic Home page, they will once again enter the Legacy LMS experience. Lastly, a "Home Page" configuration option has been added to the LMS Information page, allowing Portal Administrators to implement a custom workflow on demand. Read More...
