Introduction to Section Availability

Written By Donna Hanson-Squires (Super Administrator)

All sections in Academy have Availability Rules that determine when a participant can access the activities, tasks and content in that section.

This screenshot shows the learner view of a course. The user has navigated to a page in the learning journey where they can access some overview information and a resource activity. The second section of the page is hidden, showing a lock icon and displays a message reading: this section is not yet available.

 

By default, all new sections are Locked to participants. The Availability rules are set in the Section settings. There are four different availability rules:

Available

The activities and tasks in the section are visible/available to participants.

Locked (default)

The activities and tasks in the section are NOT visible/available to participants.

If Previous Section is Complete

The activities and tasks in the section are visible/available to participants AFTER they have completed the previous section’s activities/tasks.

Specific Time

The activities and tasks in the section will be made visible/available to participants AFTER a specific date/time.
