Dashboard builder

Prerequisites: You need to be an org admin to use the dashboard builder. Click here to find out more about different roles in the learning platform. For the dashboard builder to take effect, you'll need to enable Modern UI. Click here to find out how to do so.

The dashboard builder gives you full control over what appears on a learner's dashboard and in what order. 

Adding a block

Click Settings and then Dashboard Builder to open the dashboard builder:

Click Add new block to add a new block and select either Stream, Welcome block (will soon be deprecated), or Content Block.

Content type: Stream

Select layout type dictates whether your dashboard block displays as a slider or a grid.	Slider: Grid:
Choose stream option specifies what content will appear in the block.	Mandatory: If the learner has any learning experiences that are marked as mandatory, they will appear here. Click here to read more about marking a learning experience as mandatory. Recent: The learner's most recently viewed learning experiences will be displayed here in reverse chronological order.  Assigned: If the learner has been assigned any learning experiences, they will be displayed. Click here to read more about assigning learning experiences to learners. My Plan: The learner will see a space where they can add their own learning experiences. Click here to read more about using My Plan. New: learning experiences that have recently been added to the learning platform recently and are marked as "public" will appear here.  Public: learning experiences that are; marked as public, are of type 'Undertake and online course' and that the logged-in learner is not enroled in will appear here.  Promoted: display any promoted learning experiences the learner has permission to see and are not yet enrolled in, with the newest content always appearing first.
Hide when empty	If enabled, the block is not visible on the dashboard if there is no content in it. E.g. if the learner doesn't have any mandatory training to do, a block set to "Mandatory" will not appear.
Hide block	If enabled, the block is not visible whether there's content in there on not.

Content type: Welcome block

NOTE: This feature will soon be deprecated. Timelines to follow. 

The welcome block is populated by the learner's name, the welcome message from your learning platform's settings (see below), and the learner's mandatory training stats.  

Block 1 displays the learner’s first and last name. The background color of this panel is controlled by the Card Header Background color value set at Settings > Theme in the "Simple Theme Creator" section.
Block 2 displays a welcome message. You can add a welcome message by going to Admin, Settings, and adding it to the Welcome Message section.  Note: The welcome message does not support embedding content or CSS. This will automatically be stripped out if you try to add it. The background color of this panel is controlled by the Nav Bar Background color value set at Settings > Theme in the "Simple Theme Creator" section.
Block 3 displays the status of the learner's most urgent learning experience, based on due date. The learning experience in question can be launched directly from this block. The priority and block colour of each status is: Overdue (Red): Incomplete learning experience with a due date of today or prior to today. Due Soon (Amber): Incomplete learning experience with a due date that is between one and fifteen days away. Completed (Green): All enrolments that have been completed. Incomplete (Black): All enrolments without a complete flag. You Are Up to Date (Blue): Shown when the learner hasn't been assigned any learning experiences. Note: You may notice a discrepancy between the amount of completions displayed here and the amount displayed in "My profile" or "My reports". If a learner is assigned the same learning experience via multiple playlists, the learning experience will be counted multiple times in the learner's profile and reports, but only counted once in the welcome block.
Block 4 highlights ‘Your Progress’ by displaying the following statuses: Overdue: The number of incomplete learning experiences with a due date prior to today or today. Due Soon: The number of incomplete learning experiences with a due date between one and fifteen days away. Completed: The number of learning experiences the learners completed. The background color of Block 4 mirrors that of Block 1 and is therefore controlled by the Card Header Background color value set at Settings > Theme in the "Simple Theme Creator" section.

Note: At the moment, only due dates and mandatory training set by an admin will be displayed in the mandatory section of the welcome block. It will ignore due dates added by the learner.
