Add a step or an action to a path

Admins and editors can add any content they can play themselves. Platform administrators can add any type of content.

Learners who completed the path before the new step keep their status, but their progress drops below 100%. They can play the new step to reach 100% again. Adding an action has no impact on progress.

You can add up to 50 steps.

1. At the top of the homepage, click Paths.
2. On the right side of the path row, click Edit.
3. At the bottom of the Build your training section, on the right of Add a step, click a step type:
   • Course or path: Select one or several items. In a linear path, courses become available when the learner reaches the step. In a non-linear path, courses are available at enrollment. Learners already enrolled are automatically enrolled in any subpath added.
   • Classroom: Enter a Title and Training objective. Learners who self-enroll through the catalog can select a classroom slot. For direct enrollments, a user with edit permissions must assign them to a slot.
   • Assessment: Enter a title. Assessors receive a notification when a learner reaches this step and must validate their work.
4. To add an action, on the right of Add an action, click an action type. Place email actions after the step you want learners to complete first.
5. Click Confirm.

The path saves automatically.

Delete a step from a path

Deleting a step from a path will erase all statistics and data from users on that step, within the context of the path.

If the step is a course, and a user played that course outside this path, deleting the step will not erase statistics and data from attempts made outside the context of the path.

If the step is a path, deleting the step will remove the corresponding child sessions, and their associated data and statistics.

1. At the top of the homepage, click Paths.
2. On the right side of the path row, click Edit.
3. Scroll down to the Build your training section.
