Learning the Administrator Interface

Depending on their access, administrators can make training assignments, schedule classes, track class registrants, and track which users have attempted/completed the training requirements.

The figure provides a high-level view of the activities of the Learning Management System (LMS) administrators. After viewing the system from the user’s perspective, you are ready to view the system from the administrator's point of view.

The user and administrator applications are fully integrated into one common interface. Your role will determine what you can do as an administrator. The administrator experience can be personalized to your preferences.

There are two basic sections of the Administrator Interface:

• The Menu navigation
• The Work Area

From the Recents tab, administrators can directly access their recently viewed entities and search the list for specific entities. The Recents tab displays the last 100 instances where the administrator accessed one of the following entity types:

• Assignment Profile
• Class
• Content Object
• Content Package
• Coupon
• Curriculum Requirement
• Exam
• Free-of-charge subscription
• Item
• Library
• Prepaid Account
• Program
• Quiz
• User

When viewing a specific entity such as an Item, Assignment Profile, User, or Curriculum, the entity manager displays different sections:

1. Entity Header
2. Header Actions
3. Push-pin icon
4. Caret Arrow Icon
5. Entity Tabs
6. Entity Tab Overflow Arrows
7. Entity Tabs Drop-down
8. Entity Detail Area
