 How Do I Configure Welcome Banners?

Welcome Banners are used to display custom banner images to users, either by default (with no User Group selected) or to specific User Group users (with a User Group selected).

What Are the Prerequisites to Using Welcome Banners?

  • Your LMS must be on the Novus or Novus II interface.
    • NOTE: Welcome Banners are now replaced with the ability to upload custom background images and custom cards within Novus III.
  • Ensure that the Show Welcome Page option is selected for the On Student Login setting. This setting can be found in Admin Navigation -> General Settings on the Student Interface tab.

How Do I Upload a Welcome Banner?

  • From Admin Navigation, select Welcome Banners.
  • Click Add Banner to bring up the Add Welcome Banner wizard.
    • Choose File - Click Choose File and then locate the file you would like to upload.
      • NOTE: The name of the file is what the name of the Welcome Banner will be called in the LMS.
      • Image Dimensions: We recommend image dimensions of 1400x300.
    • Location - Leave as default value Welcome.
    • Click the Add button at the bottom to complete the upload.

How Do I Associate My Welcome Banner with a Specific User Group?

  • Locate and select the Welcome Banner that you previously uploaded in the above section.
  • Once the Welcome Banner is highlighted, click the Edit Banner button at the top.
    • This will open the Edit Banner window containing the banner's properties.
  • In this window you will see a list of User Groups displayed.
    • To select a User Group, check the box next to the User Group name.
    • NOTE: If you apply a Welcome Banner to a User Group that has child User Groups beneath it, the Welcome Banner will only apply to the parent group. If you have a Welcome Banner applied to a parent group and a child, the banner applied to the child group will display to the student.

How Do I Activate and Inactivate a Welcome Banner?

  • Select the Welcome Banner that you would like to change the activation status of.
  • Click the Toggle Activation button to change the selected Welcome Banner's status.
