Course Properties
When creating a learning module or learning module session, there are several properties that can be configured to help define course content and behavior. In many cases, these properties are created and managed directly in the module or session. However, there are many properties that are created in other areas of catalog configuration and then selected within the module or session.
Checklist Templates
Checklist templates are containers for one or more checklist items that you can apply to any number of learning modules or sessions.
Categories
Categories allow you to group courses by a defined list of categories. This is used primarily to aid catalog administration. Administrators can filter the list of learning modules by category in the Learning Modules page. Learners cannot search the course catalog for courses by category.
Create and Manage Course Categories
Subjects
Subjects group related course topics to help learners search for courses about particular subjects. Users can filter catalog search results by subject and course administrators can use subject to filter the list of learning modules on the Learning Modules page.
Create and Manage Course Subjects
Geographic Regions
Geographic Regions categorize classroom session locations. In the legacy user interface (UI) learners can filter the Course Calendar by region to find courses near them. Learners who have the new UI enabled in their profile see the responsive Course Calendar, which they can filter by timezone rather than region.
Create and Manage Geographic Regions
Vendors
You can create Vendors to identify the companies who produce the training courses available from the LMS. Course administrators can filter the list of learning modules by vendor in the Learning Modules page. Learners can filter Catalog Search results by vendor in the legacy (non-responsive) user interface.
Module Custom Attribute Categories
You can create module custom attribute categories to help categorize and organize courses. For example, if you are offering a course that requires PPE, you could create one attribute that specifies that PPE is required and another specify what PPE items are required. Module custom attribute categories can be used for both learning modules and learning module sessions.
Create and Manage Module Custom Attribute Categories
Session Custom Attribute Categories
You can create session-level custom attribute categories. These are similar to module custom attribute categories, but can only be used on the session level.
Create and Manage Session Custom Attribute Categories
Virtual Classroom Accounts
When setting up a learning module with the Virtual Class room learning type (live webinar or video conference) a Virtual Classroom Account can be assigned by the course administrator. Virtual Classroom Accounts can use out-of-the-box generic types such as GoTo Meeting, WebEx Meeting and Microsoft Teams. They can also integrate with the virtual software such as Adobe Connect, Vitero and non-meeting account types for WebEx and GoTo Meeting.

Transcript Attribute Categories
You can create custom transcript attribute categories to include in learners' transcript details for courses they have enrolled in.
Create and Manage Transcript Attribute Categories
Transcript Statuses
A learner's transcript status indicates the current status of their enrollment in a course session (for example, Not Started, In Progress, and Completed). The LMS comes with a set of default transcript statuses that cannot be edited. You cannot create new transcript statuses but you can create sub-statuses, to provide extra detail for the default statuses.
Enrollment Policies
Enrollment policies determine the enrollment process for learners, including withdrawal procedures, required information, and notification templates. You can establish approval-based enrollment policies for courses needing manager approval.

Assessment Workflow Templates
Assessment workflow templates consist of one or more pre- or post-course assessments that can be assigned to participants, instructors or direct appraisers. These templates are created in the Assessment Workflow Manager and accessed by learners and instructors in the Knowledge Center. Direct appraisers access assessments from the Supervisor Assessments page.
