How Global & Course Targeting work

How Global & Course Targeting work

There is a possibility for the Office 365 Global Administrator or LMS Administrator to define the audience for the Courses and Training Plans in the Course Catalog(s).

The main aim of the Course Training Targeting (Training Plan targeting included) is to specify the audience for the Training. By default, the Course Targeting option is disabled in the Global Settings, it means that all users with the access to the Course Catalog will see all training in it, however, the access to the training site will still depend on the Target Audience specified for the training (if there is any; if no – everyone from the Course Catalog could access the training site and enroll into it).

The Global Training Targeting option affects the way in which the Training will be displayed for users on the Course Catalog page. The access to the Training still depends on the “Target Audience” specified for Training itself.

You can set the targeting for each Training. Once the individual users or AD/Office 365 group(s) are specified in the “Target Audience” field during the creation process, they will be

• •able to view the targeted Course on the Course Catalog page,

• •added automatically to the Course Visitors group.

It means that these users can access the Trainings targeted to them from the Course Catalogs page. The users that were enrolled as learners to this course will also have access to this Training.

Course Catalog Admin always has access to all courses.
