Setup Configuration Options for the Admin Portal

Admin Portal Configuration Overview

During project kickoff, clients are provided the Prosperity Portal Setup spreadsheet for completion. The responses from this survey are used to configure the Admin Portal, including what menu options admins (managers, instructors, etc…) see when they log in and the page layouts. You will need to work with your Project Consultant to review and setup these configurations.

Getting Started with Admin Portal Configuration

This guide shows you how to:

1.     Set up global constants

2.     Identify Menu options

3.     Setup Welcome Page

4.     Choose page templates and configurations for:

§ Student Profile

§ Company Profile

§ Current Courses

§ My Programs

§ Course Catalog

§ My Transcript

§ Document Library

 

 

Set Up Global Constants for Admin Portal

The responses recorded in the Prosperity Portal Setup spreadsheet are used by the project consultant to set up default values throughout the student portal. You will need to work with your Project Consultant to review and setup these configurations.

 Examples of these include:

§ How students are entered into system: impacts how students enroll and register, as well as the fields that show on the Student Profile.

§ Training students can access: impacts decisions about the courses students see in the catalog.

§ How students sign up for training: impacts decisions on when students see the course catalog (before or after they enroll)

 

Set Up Welcome Page

 

When users log in to the Admin Portal, a welcome page can be defined with screen text. Additionally, the welcome page can be different based on the admin group to which users are assigned. Clients provide their project consultant with a Word document, PowerPoint file, or an HTML file containing the content for the welcome page.

 

Or, users can set this up themselves. There are two steps to define the Admin Welcome Page:

 

1.     Define the Admin Group and assign users to this group (See the Prosperity Corporate Structure: Companies Training Guide)

2.     Specify the Welcome Page message

 

3.     Click Permissions from the Admin menu option.

 

Specify Welcome Page

 

You will need to work with your Project Consultant to review and setup these configurations.

Student Profile

Student profile information is displayed in both the Admin Portal and the Student Portal and is populated by three different methods, depending on your configuration. You will need to work with your Project Consultant to review and setup these configurations.

§ Bulk Registration: Importing the Registration History file.

§ Manual student enrolment and registration via the Admin Portal

§ Self registration by the student via the Student Portal

The data fields that display in the Student Profile form are configurable, in that you can identify the fields that should display. Configuring the Student Profile data fields involves specifying available fields you want to use.

While you cannot change the name of a field header, you can use a field for any alternate type of data. For example, you might consider using the Pager number field as the field to enter a license number. In this case, the Registration History Import file would retain the Pager Number field header, but the data would reflect a license number.

Configuring the Student Profile data fields is accomplished by completing the Profile Checklist in which you check off the fields to display, and submitting it to your project consultant.

This form provides you with the field specifications for each data field, as shown below.

Student Transcripts and Training Maps

The following pages are samples of some of the Prosperity screens that can be configured to show LMS data in different presentations. You will need to work with your Project Consultant to review and setup these configurations.

There are Admin and Student Portal options to choose. The screens are:

 

§ Transcripts – The course history of a Student. Course Ids/Dates/Scores/etc.

§ Student Profiles – The Student’s personal information. Name(s)/Addresses/

§ Username/Password/Supervisor info/custom fields/etc.

§ Training Maps – A list of courses that the Student is signed up for, actively reading, or eligible to register for.

This is the most basic Transcript, which will show the status of the program and course, end date, registration date, and exam score.

 

 

 

This Transcript can show inactive programs, and can be sorted by status, name, date, etc.

This is another example of a Training Map, with a list of programs and the courses.

 

 

 

This Training Map shows the courses that the student is registered for and shows courses that the student is eligible to register for. It also has a certificate link for courses completed, as well as an icon that explains the type of course(classroom, online, etc), as well as location and time.

 

 

 

This training map shows all courses and activities within a given program, and allows the student to launch the course, exam, etc… directly from this screen without having to drill down. Details for the course can be displayed by clicking on the name of the course.
