Publish a path session in the catalog of a group

  • Updated

Who can use this feature?

  • Administrators and coaches of the group owning the path session can share it in their catalog.

When you publish a path session in the catalog of a group:

  • Any learner from that group can self-enroll in the path session (without the help of an instructor), once it has started.
  • The newsfeed of the group will also show that a new path session is available for learners.

You can add up to 10,000 path sessions to the catalog of a group.

To share a path with editors so they can reuse it in their own paths, consider adding the path to the library →

Add a path session to the catalog of a group (or several groups)

  1. At the top of the homepage, click Paths.
  2. On the right of the name of a path, click pen.svg Edit.
  3. In the section Build the audience, click Edit the audience.
  4. Click Add to catalog.
  5. Select the groups.
  6. Click outside the list to save.

For path sessions created with the legacy enrollment mechanism:

  1. At the top of the homepage, click Paths.
  2. On the right of the name of a path, click pen.svg Edit.
  3. In the Catalog section, click plus.svg with the number of registered groups.
  4. Select the groups.
  5. In the bottom-right corner, click Confirm.
  6. Click Proceed.

You can remove a path session from group catalogs by following the same steps, but unselecting the groups at step 4.

Add several path sessions to the catalog of a group

  1. In the left sidebar, hover over a group, then click settings.svg Settings.
    • If settings.svg Settings doesn’t appear in your sidebar, click on the group first, then click settings.svg Settings in the top right of the main section.
  2. Click the Library & Catalog tab.
  3. On the left, click Catalog → Path sessions.
  4. On the top right, click plus.svg.
  5. Select the path sessions.
  6. In the bottom-right corner, click Confirm.

You can remove path sessions from the group catalog by following the same steps, but unchecking the path sessions at step 6 (newly added content may take up to 2 hours to appear in this list).

Automatically add path sessions to the platform group's catalog

Through advanced settings, platform administrators can automatically add newly created path sessions to the platform group catalog (regardless of the permissions of the user creating the session).

  1. In the left sidebar, hover over the platform group (the one with a golden crown), then click gear.svg Settings.
    • If settings.svg Settings doesn’t appear in your sidebar, click on the platform group first, then click settings.svg Settings in the top right of the main section.
  2. On the left, click Advanced.
  3. Scroll down to the Content visibility section.
  4. Check the box next to Path sessions are in the platform group’s catalog.

The option is not retroactive. Only sessions created after the box is checked will be added to the platform group catalog.

Add a maximum number of seats to a session

Once a path has been added to the catalog, you can define a maximum number of learners who can self-register to a session.

Session instructors can still manually enroll users, regardless of the maximum number of seats.

  1. At the top of the homepage, click Paths.
  2. On the right of the name of the path, click edit.svg Edit.
  3. Scroll down to the section Build the audience.
  4. Enable the setting Limit the number of self-registration seats for this path session.
  5. Enter the maximum number of seats.
  6. Click out of the field to save.

Once the maximum number of self-registration seats has been filled, learners will be put on a waiting list.

A seat becomes available if a learner clicks Free my seat in the session homepage, or if a session instructor unenrolls a self-registered user.

When a seat becomes available, the first person on the waiting list will gain access to the path on their platform.
