Configuring Sponsors and Advertisements

Sponsors and Advertisements can provide a vital revenue stream for your organization. Sponsor messages appear on the Landing page at the top of the Learning Widget panel, with more than one displayed in a carousel.

To configure sponsors and advertisements, do the following:

  1. Go to Customizations > News & Promotions > Sponsors / Advertisements.
  2. Click Create.
  3. Enable Priority to show the sponsor message first and for a longer duration.
  4. (required)Enter a Title. The title is for administrative purposes only and does not appear on the published sponsor message.
  5. Add a Background Image.
  6. Use the Sponsor Link to redirect users to a URL when they click on the sponsor's message.
  7. Customize the Background Color of the sponsor message.
  8. Add details of the sponsor message in Body. Text can be formatted, and images and links can be included.
  9. Click Create.

Once created, new options are available on the sponsor item screen:

  • Click the More Options (caret) icon beside the Delete button to Add New Sponsor Item or Preview.
  • To make the sponsor message visible to users, toggle the Published button to On.
  • The Published Date/Time field is informational only and does not appear on the published sponsor message.

Remember to Save all changes.

Use the Learning Widgets customization settings to enable Sponsors/Advertisements on the Landing Page. See Learning Widgets for details.
