Hubs

In this article, you'll learn what Hubs are and how you can use them.

Written by Toni Hannemann

What are Hubs?

Hubs are dedicated areas designed to quickly provide information to specific target groups or Users. For example, a sales team can access links to their tools, while a Customer can access contact details, project progress, etc. You can also use them to quickly create an intranet for yourself and your Employees.

How does a Hub differ from the Dashboard?

The Dashboard is a generally visible element in LearningSuite for all Users. You can find it under "Settings" -> "Member Perspective". The Dashboard is visible to all Users.

Hubs, on the other hand, are only accessible if you explicitly grant Users access to them.

This can be done individually, for groups, or through bundles.

How do I get started with Hubs?

Feel free to watch our tutorial video!


Where can I find Hubs?

You can find Hubs in the left sidebar under "Hubs".

How do I create a Hub?

Select the "Hubs" menu item, then click the "Create New Hub" button.

Then define the Hub title, choose an icon, and specify where the Hub will later appear in the left sidebar. You can also add an internal note.


How do I design a Hub?

After creating your Hub, you have a wide range of options for designing it.

To do this, always create rows and select the size of each row. There are several predefined formats to help you create rows more quickly.

Once the row has been created, elements are available for you to add. You can always add new rows or elements by selecting the "Plus" icon. You can also copy and paste elements using the clipboard.

When you are satisfied with the design of your Hub, publish or update it. You can also view it at any time using "Preview".


How do I manage the visibility of my Hubs?

Finally, you can control access to and visibility of your Hubs by selecting the "Manage Hub Access" button in the Hubs overview.

You can also duplicate a Hub at any time, select it as a template, change its settings later, or delete it completely.


How do I notify Members about updates in the Hub?

When publishing or updating the Hub, you will be informed that you can write an update message.
