Avendoo® online documentation

Start

Basics

The start page gives an overview of the most recent events in your Avendoo®. You see your current learning units and the learning units for continuing the task as well as hotel bookings, event date bookings, recommendations and non-confirmed event participations. These are your standard streams while closed course activations are hidden this means you see only course activations in editing status and new course activations.  Also the summary tile can be shown.

At one glance you see if a registration is required. Further you can search for learning units and get an overview of your event dates. You can return from each position in the system if you click on the logo (on the upper left side). Furthermore you can like learning units, this means they will be added to the Bookmarks on the Learning Place.

You see if at the time of opening the course activation learning objects are blocked and optionally, how long they are blocked.

If there’s an event in a course and you’re also participant in the course activation (this means the learning unit isn’t in your catalog and you’re not deregistered), and it’s a mandatory event with one event date at minimum in future, you see the text Registration required on the corresponding course tile (of the learning unit) on your start page (see screenshot number 2).

Users and team leaders can show the language versions of the courses on the course tiles (see screenshot number 4).  Further information about the prerequisite you find here.

Users and team leaders can also show the remaining processing time of the courses. Therefore an API is used. For further information contact our support team.

Users and user-team leaders can furthermore show the Expected processing time on the tiles of Remote content activations. The author for LTI Remote Content configures this in the wizard Content connector or Remote content, also for Remote content of the type Offline XAPI with feedback channel in the wizard Remote Content.

Furthermore users can show the classification and the classification values of the course activations via CSS on the Start page and at the learning place. Therefore the author has added the variables “CourseClassificationAndValues” and/or “CourseClassificationValues” on the appropriate course page. Further information about variables you find under courses.

Note

Via CSS adjustment you can show the teaser and the short description of the course on the tiles. Therefore please get in touch with your contact partner.

If the author has configured the system setting insuranceDistributionDirective and has activated IDD (IDD is only relevant in Germany) in the course activation or in the rule on participants and the IDD ID exists, the user and and the team leader sees the appropriate IDD status bar. If the user or the team leader clicks on the hours completed (orange area), he/she gets to the page Successes, where IDD relevant training inventory entries are shown filtered. If the user or team leader clicks on the mandatory hours to be completed (light grey area) or hours in processing (dark grey area), he/she gets to the page Catalog, where the IDD relevant learning units are shown filtered.

The author can define an IDD stream for the start page for example. If the author has set the check mark “Should the IDD tile be displayed?”, this tile is shown for users and user team leaders. On this tile you find the IDD training time, sorted by completed, in progress and total. Also you see the corresponding graphic. If you click on More information, you get to the Training history of your Achievements page. If there are no IDD data, this will be shown on this tile.
Basically the author defines the display and the order of already existing streams in the Client wizard on the tab Options under Start page -Settings.

To show info boxes an Individual Frontend is used. For more information contact please our support team.

Practical example

Streams

  • You need course tiles for the start page of your trainees, which are recommendations.
  • On second place there should be course tiles with hotel bookings and on third place the trainees need course tiles with event date bookings.
  • After that streams there should be the non-confirmed event participants and the new releases.
  • The courses, where the task should be continued, are not interesting for the start page. Furthermore the trainees need an additional stream for courses with the classification value “Basic competence”.
  • The author configure this in the client for trainees on the tab Options in the Client wizard. He/she deactivates under Start page – settings the check mark Continue the task and rearranges the order of the streams via drag and drop into Recommendations, Hotel booking, Event date booking, Non-confirmed event participants and New releases. If required he/she sets a check mark, if it isn’t set. For defining the additional individual stream, which is shown on Start page, you find information here.
