Content — Automatically Set New Content to Pending Status
TraCorp LMS Quick Reference Guide (QRG)
Audience: Main Admin, Sub Admin
Overview
This QRG explains how to configure the LMS to automatically set content uploaded by User Group Admins to Pending status. This allows Main Admins to review the content and then set it as Active so that students can view it. The User Group Admins can still assign the content while it is in Pending status, but students will not see it until a Main Admin has marked it as Active.
Enable this Feature:
- From Admin Navigation, click General Settings.
- Click the Content tab.
- Click the check box next to Require Main Admin approval for content uploaded by UG Admins.
- Click Save Settings.
Effect of Enabling this Feature
User Group Admins
When User Group Admins upload a piece of content, it is placed in Pending status. The system highlights the content in orange to indicate it is pending. The status appears grayed out for User Group Admins, preventing them from changing it. User Group Admins can assign the content as usual, but it will not appear in the students’ Content Lists until a Main Admin marks it as Active.
Main Admins
When this feature is enabled, Main Admins can view pending content by clicking the Show All Training drop-down menu next to the search box and selecting Show Pending Only. This displays only content in Pending status. Admins can then review the content before setting it to Active in the Content Is drop-down within the content’s properties.
Best Practices
To ensure content is delivered on time, inform the User Group Admins that the feature is on and the turn-around time for reviews.
