Roles: Primary Admin, Admin

Description: In this article, you will learn how to create banners that feature courses, learning paths, events, forums, or posts for your learners. You will also learn how to reorder, edit, and delete banners and read their statistics.

Benefits:

  • Highlight what matters: Put a training or discussion at the top of the learner home screen or the Training page.
  • Easy to manage: Reorder, edit, or remove banners at any time from Settings.
  • See what works: Track views, clicks, and click-through rate for each banner.

Step by step: create a banner

  1. Click your profile picture in the top-right corner and select Settings.
  2. Under Organization Settings, click Banner.
  3. Click Add Banner in the top-right corner.
  4. In Select Content Type, choose Course, Path, Event, Forum, or Post.
  5. In Select Content, search for the item you want to feature and select it.
  6. In Page to feature on, tick Homepage, Trainings Page, or both.
  7. Check the preview. To change the title shown on the banner, click it in the preview and type a new one. To use a different image, click the camera icon at the top right of the preview. To change how the image is cropped, drag it to reposition it.
  8. Click Publish.

Configure Banner window with the Select Content Type list open

Learners see the banner right away in the carousel at the top of the page you chose.

Note: Images can be up to 2MB. For the best fit, use an image of 950 x 300 pixels. See Recommended Image Resolution in Auzmor Learn.

Note: You can only feature content that is published and public. Drafts and archived items do not appear in Select Content.

Step by step: reorder, edit, or delete a banner

  1. Go to Settings > Banner.
  2. Click the Homepage or Trainings Page tab.
  3. To reorder, hover over a banner and drag the handle at the left of its row. The banner at the top appears first to learners.
  4. To change a banner, click the three-dot menu on its row and select Edit. Update the content, the title, or the image, then click Save. Changes apply right away.
  5. To remove a banner, click the three-dot menu and select Delete.

Note: Each page can have up to 10 banners.

Banner statistics

Each banner in the list shows these numbers:

Column What it shows
Views The number of unique learners who have seen the banner.
Clicks The number of unique learners who have clicked the banner.
CTR % The percentage of learners who clicked the banner out of those who saw it.

Deleting a banner also removes its statistics.

When a banner stops showing

A banner stops showing to learners when the content it features is no longer available to them. This happens when the item is deleted, archived, unpublished, or made private, or when an event is cancelled or has ended. The banner stays in your list, greyed out, so you can edit or delete it.

Common questions

Can I feature the same content on both pages?

Yes. Tick both Homepage and Trainings Page when you create the banner. The banner is listed on each tab as its own entry, with its own statistics.

Why can't I find a course when I select content?

Only published and public content is listed. Check that the course is published, then try again.

Where do learners see banners?

In the carousel at the top of the learner home screen and the Training page. See Learner Home Screen Overview.
