Web Site Switches

Web site switches are settings to enable or disable certain features of Skillport.

Note: If you need to change these settings after the release of the site, please consult your Skillsoft representative.

To configure web site switches

1. Click Configuration > Web Site Switches on the navigation bar.
2. Configure the settings.
   • Enable LP Enrollment/Withdrawal Emails: Allows administrators the ability to control the learning program enrollment/withdrawal emails to users.

     Note: This setting is only applicable if you've activated the learning program emails on the Manage Notifications page in Skillport.

     • Select Yes to show the email-related prompts when enrolling and withdrawing users:

       

     • Select No to hide these prompts; emails are sent automatically.
   • Enable Credentials: Enables learners to filter by Training Credits when browsing and searching the library, and to view progress in their Learning Transcript for credit-based training.
   • Enable Forced Restart: Affects all instances of the following 2 types of assets:
     • Any course with the Allow Multiple Completions setting enabled.
     • Any asset that's been assigned to a learning plan as a Recurring by completion date or Recurring by due date.

     If your site supports either or both of these types of assets, you can set this switch as follows:

     • Select No to present the learner with a prompt to either restart the asset (launches the asset from the beginning, and the progress is recorded) or continue the asset (launches the asset from the last-accessed location, and progress continues to record).
     • Select Yes to allow the learner to launch a completed asset, and automatically create a new record in the learner transcript to count as the next completion. The learner is not given the option to continue (re-enter) the last completion.

       Note: For more information on restarting assets, see Recurring Assets (Compliance).

   • Enable Recommended for You Carousel: Allows administrators to control the display of the Recommended for You carousel, which shows recommendations for popular and related assets to the learner, on the What's New page.
     • Select Yes to enable the Recommended for You carousel for the site. This is the default setting.
     • Select No to disable the Recommended for You carousel for the site.
   • Enable Transcript View Duration Fields: Allows administrators to control the display of the Actual Duration field and the Expected Duration field in the Learner Transcript.
     • Select Yes to display the fields in the Learner Transcript.
     • Select No to not display the fields. This is the default setting.
