Add a step or an action to a path

Administrators and authors can add any content they can play themselves. Platform administrators can add any type of content.

Learners who completed the path before the addition of the new step keep it displayed in their profile, but won't have 100% progress anymore and their status will be updated accordingly; they can play the new step to achieve 100% again. Adding an action (such as scheduling an email reminder, a Slack message, or a Microsoft Teams message) has no impact on the 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 on a type of step.

5. (Courses, Paths, or Programs) Select one or several items.
6. (Classrooms) Enter a classroom Title and Training objective.
7. Click Confirm.

The path automatically saves the new step.

If a learner is enrolled in several sessions of the same path or if they can access several sessions from their catalog, clicking on the path will redirect them to the most relevant session. Relevance is determined as follows:

• Active sessions: If any sessions are currently running, the learner will be directed to the session that started the most recently.
• Closed sessions: If no sessions are currently running, the learner will be directed to the session with the most recent end date.
• Future sessions: If no sessions are running or have ended, the learner will be directed to the session with the oldest start date.

Other things to remember when adding steps:

• Course: The path will make courses available to enrolled learners when they reach the step (linear paths) or at enrollment (non-linear paths).
• Classroom: The path will allow learners who self-enroll to the path through the catalog to select a classroom slot. For learners that are enrolled directly into the path, the author needs to add them to a classroom slot.
• Path: Learners will be automatically enrolled to subpaths added to a path.
• Program: For learners to access and complete programs that you add as a path step, assign learners to one of its sessions or add it to their group catalog). Otherwise, they will get stuck on that step.
• Assessment: When a learner has completed the step right before the assessment in linear and non-linear paths, the assessor needs to check the learner's work. Assessors receive a notification when a learner reaches the Assessment step.
• Email: If you would like your learner to receive the email after the completion of a specific path step, be sure to move the email into the correct place in the path steps.

Edit path step options

Platform Admins, Group Admins, Authors, and co-authors can edit path step options (editing path step options may affect learner statuses).

Mark a step as optional in a path

Add or edit a step's relative due date in a path

You can add a relative due date to each step, to encourage learners to complete the step on time and help them stay organized. These dates are soft deadlines; learners can play the step after the due date.

Relative due dates are displayed in the dashboard of paths statistics (to help identify learners who fell behind), in the path page (on each step), and in the homepage if the path is displayed there and the path has been started. If the path contains several steps with relative due dates, we display on the homepage the date that is the furthest away.

The deadline is computed from the date of the learner's enrollment (not the previous step's relative due date).

1. At the top of the homepage, click Paths.
2. On the right side of the path row, click Edit.
3. In the Build your training section, click on one of the steps.
