How do I create a new Program?

Once you have added or uploaded courses in Bridge, you can create a program for your account. Programs are a collection of learning content.

Notes: 
•   All courses within a program must be published before you can publish the program.  
•   Archived courses within a program display grayed-out course titles and an archived badge.
•   Some features may be restricted based on permissions for your user role.

In the Global Navigation menu, click the Author icon. Then, click the Live Programs menu option.

Note: The Global Navigation menu may differ depending on what is enabled in your account.

Add Content

You can add three different kinds of learning content to your program. Courses, Live Trainings and Checkpoints can be added for users to complete as part of their program requirements. To add learning content to your program, click the Course, Live Training, or Checkpoint icon [1].

Learning content can be separated into sections with headings that give more structure to the program. To add a header, click the Heading icon [2].

Add Heading Title and Description

Enter header text in the Header field [1]. The Header field is limited to 100 characters.

To add a description, enter the description text in the Description field [2]. The Description field is limited to 2000 characters.

Adding sections to a program does not impact the program item count or a user's ability to complete the program in any order.
