Automatically Set New Content to Pending Status Quick Reference Guide
Audience: Main Admin, Sub Admin
Overview
The LMS allows content uploaded by User Group Admins to be automatically set 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.
Enabled Permissions Required to Complete the Following Steps:
- Content
- Note: User Group Admins do not have permission to access General Settings
Steps to 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 signify it is Pending. The status will be grayed out for the User Group Admins, so they cannot change it. User Group Admins can assign the content as they normally would, but it will not show up in the students’ Content Lists until a Main Admin has marked 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 will display only pieces of content in Pending status. The admins can then review the content before setting it to Active from the Content Is drop-down inside 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 of your review.
