Listing Navigation
The main left nav panel commands are used to organize different learning objects into folders. The four commands are as follows:
- Add: Add a new folder
- Delete: Delete an existing folder and all its contents
- Edit: Rename a folder
- Refresh: Refresh the list of items to reflect new changes
Add a new course, Delete a course, Edit a course name
When learning objects are organized into folders in the LMS, you will need to toggle the arrow to the left of the parent folder in order to expand the folder’s contents.
Organizing Your Course Listings
Learning objects added to the LMS can be organized quickly by creating a folder hierarchy, moving objects, creating copies, and deleting objects. The intuitive interface of the folder hierarchy allows items to be manually dragged and dropped, or items can be moved through the use of the “Move” button. Items in Courses, Exams, and Case Studies can also be manually dragged and dropped to organize the presentation of those items.
Move Content, Bulk Delete, Copy, Edit, Delete
Each type of learning object utilizes the same style of action buttons and organizational features as illustrated above.
- Create Button - allows administrators to add a new learning object, such as Course, Question, Exam, etc. This displays the learning object’s properties page.
- Each learning object has three icons next to its listing:
- Edit - displays the object’s properties page
- Copy - creates a copy of the selected object to quickly create an identical object
- Delete - removes the object completely from the LMS
- Clicking the checkboxes next to objects in the list allows administrators to “Move” that object one-at-a-time, or in bulk, to another folder within the navigation tree
Learning objects that are currently checked out by another user can not be moved or deleted until checked in.

FAQs
- How should I organize my folders?
- Organizing folders is completely up to you. We like to organize our folders by the course types, like Masterclass Courses or Ethics Courses. Then, if an item spans for the course of multiple years, we create a new folder for each year for that item.
