Use the duplicate feature in Dashboard Manager to copy landing page elements from one theme to another instead of recreating the same content manually. This helps save time and keeps your themes consistent.
The dashboard elements listed in the table below can be duplicated to other themes or to the same theme you are currently working in.
Dashboard element | Details |
Spotlights | The carousel slides displayed at the top of the learner dashboard. |
Bulletins | The items shown on the Bulletin Board, including any associated links. |
Mission Sets | Entire sets of missions, including all missions and their actions. |
Individual Missions | Single missions, including all their actions, into one or more mission sets. |
Considerations
Before duplicating elements, consider the following.
Duplicate elements are inactive by default
When duplicating an element to a target theme, it's created as inactive, giving you the opportunity to review it before making it visible to learners. You'll also see a reminder in the duplication window.
Only saved elements can be duplicated
If you have made changes on the page, such as unsaved edits or items marked for deletion, the duplicate option is not available for all elements on that page until you save the relevant changes.
Select multiple themes at once
When duplicating spotlights, bulletins and entire mission sets, you can choose one or more target themes. You can copy an element to several themes in a single action.
Theme labels help you identify theme types
In the theme drop-down menu, default themes are labelled (Default) and alumni themes are labelled (Alumni) so you can easily tell them apart.
