In the details section you enter the following fields:

Available tab

On the Available tab you set additional filters for the availability of a training within the catalogue. You specify here for which functions, departments, and Friend portals a training is visible.

Setting visibility for Departments

  1. Department overview:

    • Under the heading Departments you will find all available departments within your portal.

  2. General visibility:

    • If you do not select any departments and the training is set to Visible, the training is visible for all users in the catalogue.

  3. Specific departments:

    • If you select specific departments, the training only becomes visible for users within these (and underlying) departments.

  4. Example usage:

    • Make a training available for a specific department such as Management, allowing you to test the training without it being visible to other users.

  5. Reverse management option:

    • Manage the availability of trainings the other way round: search for a department, and determine via the Available Trainings tab which trainings should be specifically available for this department.

  6. Important note:

    • Note: if a training is made available for specific departments, it automatically becomes invisible for other departments.

Setting visibility for Functions

  1. Function overview:

    • Under the heading Functions you will find all available functions within your portal.

  2. Specific function visibility:

    • Move functions from left to right to make the training only visible for users with the selected functions.

  3. Reverse management option:

    • Search for a specific function, and set which trainings are visible for that function.

  4. Combining Functions and Departments:

    • Note: Combining visibility for functions with departments works as an AND function, meaning users must both have the function and belong to the department for the training to be visible.

Setting visibility for Friend portals

  1. Friend Portals overview:

    • Under the heading Friend Portals you will find all portals that purchase your trainings.

  2. Setting availability:

    • Move a portal from left to right to make the training visible for the purchaser in the Portal.

  3. Important note:

    • The training is not directly visible to users in the Friend portal. The administrator of the Friend portal must configure this separately within their own portal.
