As an Admin, you can adjust the following Additional Module settings:
Business Impact Module
You have the option to turn on/off the Business Impact Module for your academy.
If this option is turned to "No", the Business Impact tab will completely disappear from your Administration panel.
Gamification Module
You have now the option to choose if you want to turn on the Gamification Module.
This module includes two different features:
1. Leaderboard
Do you want to enable the Leaderboard feature for your academy? Just turn the relevant toggle to yes and start working on the setup of your leaderboards!
You also have the option to set the local leaderboard as the default view instead of the global view, by toggling the Default View radio button. Please note that the Default View option only concerns the Extended Leaderboard type.
2. Academy Badges
You can create badges that users can award to other employees and decide who can create and award corporate badges. Moreover, you have the option to enable Course/ Curriculum/ Event/ Goal Badges for your academy.
Note: If the toggle for the Gamification Module is turned to “No”, all of the above will be automatically deactivated for your academy.
Integration with Google Analytics
Connect your Academy with your Google Analytics account.
Integration with Social Networks
If an Academy administrator has completed the Yammer integration, users in the Academy will have the ability to enable automatic sharing of their activities on Yammer, and also control which specific ones will be posted.
The first step is to connect* your UKG Pro Learning account with your Yammer account by clicking on the corresponding button which will temporarily redirect you to Yammer. After successfully completing this step you will be returned to the same settings page and your Yammer network will be available in the second step for linking it with your Academy. The end result will look like this:
Take special notice of the last option (enabled by default) which essentially controls whether or not user activities will automatically be posted on the Yammer network's “All Company” group (which essentially serves as a public wall). Each Academy user will have the option to enable the automatic sharing of his/her activities and control which of the available ones will be posted on Yammer.
*Note: this does not mean that the two accounts will be merged (e.g. you won't be able to login to UKG Pro Learning using Yammer – there is a separate procedure for that)
Social Collaboration Module
You have now the option to choose if you want to turn on the Social Collaboration Module.
This module includes four different features/sections:
1. Academy Wall/News Feeds
You can have a Wall on UKG Pro Learning that can be used in different ways. You can use for example the wall as a communication means between employees only. In this case, the wall will be visible only to employees. Or you can open up your wall to customers or members of UKG Pro Learning that follow your organization. You can further have control over who can review and who can post to your corporate wall. You may want for example to allow employees to view posts (by Admins) but not be able to post or comment. Or you can deactivate the wall completely. It’s up to you!
2. Academy Groups
Groups are a very powerful feature for content and knowledge sharing and collaboration. Each group has its own visibility and access rules. Any member of UKG Pro Learning, employees of your company included, can create a group. But you can decide which members can create groups for your Academy. Those groups can be either for corporate knowledge sharing and collaboration and visible only to your employees or public groups and visible to everybody. The group creator decides who can see and join the group (e.g. employees, customers, everybody). Groups visible to everybody appear also on the list of public groups on UKG Pro Learning.
