The catalog search bar gives you an overview of all learning units for which you were registered or for which you have the option of registering yourself. Furthermore the Remote contents with content connector LTI are shown. Also it’s shown if a registration is Required.
There can be restrictions regarding the languages if the author has defined them in the corresponding course activation.
If the team leader has put your learning unit into your catalog via the option Show in the catalog in the UGC learning unit, you can click on the tile and register via the button Register. If you’re already registered to this UGC learning unit, you can Deregister from the learning unit via the context menu three points or you choose Participant management. To open and edit the participant management, the author has activated the object permission Register users to a course activation to register employees and for favored participants the object permission Change edit mode that you can change the edit mode from Set “optional” to Set “mandatory” and reverse. More information about selection of users in the participant management. Further information about the object permissions in the course activation you find here.
On the tab Catalog a recommendation carousel is available, on which you get learning units, which are suggested to you. Popular learning units are the most booked learning units, which the learner still hasn’t booked. On similar learning units the number of each classification value is calculated, how often this value exists in already booked learning units. On new learning units the last assigned learning unit is relevant.
If you want to activate the recommendation carousel, please contact our Avendoo® support team.
To share the results of your catalog or of your search as SSO link, click on the symbol Share results and then on Copy link behind the SSO link. You can use this copied link also for an individual stream. Furthermore the SSO link is available in the Employee view in the Team leader area.
As soon as a course is available on the learning place, the starting progress bar is shown on the course tile. Additionally, you see in which languages that learning unit is available and which dates are available next in the learning unit.
If there’s an event in a course and you still haven’t registered as user and the event got event dates in future, you see the text Registration required on the course tile on the learning place.
Via click on the title of the learning unit the info page of the course opens in case you are not registered. You find the following information: title of the course, assessment of the course, learning path with learning contents, learning format, date, since the course is available in the catalog, available language and trainining coach.
If a participant selects a course activation with a shown first learning object in the catalog, Avendoo® opens the info page. Only after the registration to the course activation the participant can open the shown first learning object.
After the search process in the catalog the course activations are sorted in that way that this course activation is at the top, to which the user was registered recently. Then the course activations are listed, which got descending register dates. The order of the course activation search results is also similar to the search term. Futhermore you find course activations, which are similar in the title or sound similar. You enter for example “Skorm” and you get “Scorm” as search result.

If you click on the button, you get to the course main page. If the course main page doesn’t exist – like in an one object course – the link isn’t shown. Also all information relevant to the run like registration deadline or the button Register are not shown.
If the author has defined the number of participants in the run, you get free slots shown in the run within the run view on the course main page.
If there’s a hurdle between two events and the author has selected No restriction for the learning path in the Course wizard on the tab Parameters you can register to the event after the hurdle only if you’re already registered to the event before the hurdle.
If the author has selected the option Prohibit registration you can register only to events to which you’re qualified. If haven’t completed the element before the hurdle you can’t register to the event after the hurdle.

In the list below you see under Available event dates (numbers) all event dates next, which correspond to your filter criteria if set. The list contains the exact event date, the registration deadline, the location, the event speaker, a price if applicable and the number of free slots. Via Details you can show further details about the event date. Under details you see the title, the time period and the teaser of the event and the venue, the event language, the free slots, total slots, the registration status, if an approval is pending, the registration deadline and the price. Regarding the price you can see the prices for members. If there are several prices for memberships, you will see the lowest price for members.

Generally, you can add also accompanying persons without registration code if these are not new. As you add the new accompanying person via clicking the button Save, a new user is generated who is marked as accompanying person. This user is registered to the course activation and the event date.
You can go back via the button Back in the footer.
As user you can register to a Virtual Classroom, which the author has created als manual room (see screenshot 5).
Furthermore, you can confirm the registration on the event via the button Confirm registration.

If the author has selected the option Substitute participants can be entered till the close of registration or Substitute can be registered up to the start of the event date or up to… in the Event wizard on the tab Configuration, you can do the registration of substitute participants as defined.
You can register to the appropriate event date via click on the button Register. You receive a direct notification about the success of the registration.
If the author has created contingents or automatic allotments in combination with a waiting list, this will be considered on registering. Example: An event date has got 6 places. The automatic allotment AA1 for the organizational unit OU1 is activated with 2 places, also AA2 for OU2 and AK3 for OU3. All automatic allotments are taken, this means 6 participants are registered. Now you register as participant of OU4 and because the places are all taken, AA4 will be generated and you are set on the waiting list. If a participant now deregisters, you succeed in the waiting list (AA4 for OU4 is 2).
Further you can book overnight stays, create food requests or book a rail ticket for example (individually configurable link) regarding your status as participant of an event date.
If the deregistration deadline and the registration management of the course activation allows it, you can deregister from the appropriate event date via My learning place → Optional learning units → Event date via the button Cancel registration. You can choose via drop down menu a cancelation cause and enter additionally a remark. Not that, users can only cancel the registration of event date groups (main and follow-up dates). This is also valid if you accept or reject via iCal (Outlook calendar date). If you have added accompanying persons on registration before (Prerequisite: the author has entered accompanying persons under Promotion phase on the tab Communication in the Event wizard), a notification appears that these accompanying persons are deregistered, too. You can confirm the deregistration and the co-deregistration of the accompanying persons via the button Deregister from event date.
