New Navigation (alpha)

Developed in close collaboration with customers, our new Persona-based navigation is designed to offer tailored experiences based on user roles, helping each role to perform their core tasks.

We’re still working on the finishing touches, but we would love for you to start trying it out in your test account so that we can gather feedback from as many customers as possible to inform our next steps.

Please try out your different use cases and let us know if you spot any bugs or have any suggestions for how to make it even better via our feedback form. We’ll be actively monitoring suggestions to inform our next steps before the beta release.

We know that updating our UI can be a big change in your organisation. That’s why we are rolling it out slowly so that you have time to try it out before your end users, and prepare any training that you wish to roll out.

1. Enabled in test accounts (Dec 2024)

2. Beta Release (Q1 2025)

   1. Choose when to enable it for your organisation and switch everyone over in one go.

   2. We hope the majority of customers will enable the Navigation during this period.

3. Full Launch (Q2-Q3 2025)

   1. There will likely be an 'opt-in' process for individuals before the final switchover

   2. We will monitor feedback we receive before finalising the plan and timeline for the final switchover.

At the top of the side-navigation, you will see a quick link that takes the user to the main dashboard so they can always quickly access the Dashboards created by the organisation. You can also access the Dashboard by clicking the logo.

This section will appear for all users regardless of system role.

My Learning gives the user quick access to:

• My Tasks to drive completion of assigned content;

• Browse Topics to encourage self-led learning;

• Browse Events to encourage enrolment.

Browse Topics: During this testing phase, we have enabled this page in your test account so that you can see the full range of the navigation. But for this page to be the most useful, you will need to set up some topics in your Learning Taxonomy.

My Learning will appear for all users, as long as one of Content or Events is enabled in your account.

My Development gives the learner quick access to:

• Skills to encourage an individual’s ownership of their own skills development

• CPD so a learner can quickly understand if they are hitting their CPD targets (only appears if enabled)

• 1-to-1sso learners have a quick way to access this important mechanism for working on their development (only appears if enabled)

• Objectives so learners can keep track and work towards their goals (only appears if enabled)

Skills: During this testing phase, we have enabled this page in your test account so that you can see the full range of the navigation. But for this page to be the most illustrative, you will need to set up some topics in your Learning Taxonomy and add rate some Skills for your user.

My Development will appear for all users, as long as one of Skills, CPD, 1-to-1s or Objectives is enabled in your account.

Our new Community section puts collaborative learning front and centre. Giving learners access to:

• Browse Communities a new page enabling learners to search for and join Communities.

• My Communities a new page to give learner’s quick access to the communities they have joined.

• Employee/Member Directoryto encourage collaboration across the organisation

Community: During this testing phase, we have enabled Communities in your test account so that you can see the full range of the navigation. But for this page to be the most illustrative, you will need to set up some Communities.

Community will appear for all users, as long as Communities is enabled in your account.

The My Team area is designed for the Manager persona. We’ve heard through customer feedback that Managers are a key role in ensuring employee engagement in your organisation; so we now have an additional space dedicated to Managers, where they can go to see information on their team.

We’re really excited about where we can take this dedicated space in future, so please let us know your ideas!

My Team takes the manager to a new page full of links off to the relevant logs for each feature set.

When they click a link they will be taken to the relevant Team or Managed Users tab. We are looking to improve our tab structure as well, which you can read more about below.

My Team will appear only for users that are marked as Managers.

The Coaching area is designed for the Coach persona. We’ve heard through customer feedback that Coaches need a more direct route to see information on their coached users; so we now have an additional space dedicated to Coaching.

Coaching takes the coach to a new page full of links off to the relevant logs for each feature set.

When they click a link they will be taken to the relevant Coached Users tab. We are looking to improve our tab structure as well, which you can read more about below.

Coaching will appear only for users that are marked as Coaches.

NB: Currently the Coaching section links to the Central Reporting page while we finish building the dedicated Coach page. This means that if you view the Coach page as an admin, you will see some tiles not visible to a coach and you will be taken to Company logs when clicking into the tiles.

The Manage area has been designed in a way to give admins and other roles a quick way to move between maintaining different entities across Learn Amp.

This section will appear for those with higher permissions (Owner, Admin, Learning Designer, Curator, HR) and it will also appear for other roles if they have been given specific Manage permission via optional permissions, or via an entity within the system eg. an item.

The full structure of the Manage menu can be seen below. If a user does not have permission to view a page, then the corresponding menu item will not appear for them. For example, the Curator role does not have permission to update people in Learn Amp, therefore the Manage → People section will not appear when logged in as a Curator.

The Reporting area is visible to Owners, Admins, Reporters, HR, Learning Designers and Curators, and directs users to the Central Reporting Page.

During this testing phase, we have enabled the central reporting page in your test account so that you can see the full range of the navigation.

We heard in user interviews that the banner images at the top of the page takes up a lot of screen real estate and causes a lot of scrolling. For this reason, we have removed the large banners and replaced them with simpler and smaller gradient banners.

You can customise the colour of these banners in Company Settings → Colours.

We are currently working on the My Team and Coaching pages, so you may see some changes to these over the coming weeks.

We are currently testing out a couple of variants of the tab structure to further enhance the navigation experience throughout Learn Amp. You may see some of these change in your test account over the coming weeks.

Our roll-out plan can be found in the Overview section of this article.

Thanks so much for giving us your feedback and suggestions! You can submit your ideas via our feedback form which we will be actively monitoring.

Yes, we’d be more that happy to do this for you as part of our alpha testing phase Please get in touch with our CS team and we will arrange a call to discuss your plans and any considerations that there may be.

Yes, we aim to include generic guidance in-app that will work for all customers and all system roles. Please let us know if you have any thoughts on what this should look like via the feedback form.

No, in Q2-Q3 next year we will move all accounts over to the new navigation. Maintaining two navigations would significantly reduce our engineering capacity and therefore slow down the pace at which we can build new features and fix any bugs.
