Introduction

The Learning Management System (LMS) in uKnowva HRMS allows organisations to structure, manage, and deliver courses in a well-organised manner.

To keep the learning environment structured, it is important to create categories that classify courses into specific groups.

Adding a course category makes it easier for employees to locate relevant learning materials, while also enabling administrators to control access and visibility.

uKnowva HRMS provides a simple and user-friendly way to add new course categories, define their accessibility, and publish them directly within the system.

In this guide, we will walk you through the steps required to add a course category in the LMS module.

Step 1: Access the Categories Page

From the side navigation panel, click on the LMS menu and select the Categories sub-menu.

A new page will open displaying the list of existing categories that have already been created in the system.

This page shows the categories under the following headers: Name, Action, Status, and Parent Category.

Each header provides useful insights such as the current status of the category and whether it belongs to a parent category.

Step 2: Add a New Course Category

To add a new category, click on the “+” icon located above the list of existing categories.

A new page will open where you can enter the required details for creating the course category.

You will need to provide the Course Category Name and select a Parent Category from the drop-down menu if you want to place this new category under an existing one.

You also need to fill in the Course Category Description to explain the purpose of the category and upload a Course Category Image to visually represent it.

Step 3: Configure Accessibility and Publishing Settings

After entering the basic details, configure the accessibility and publishing settings for the category.

In the Course Category Access field, select the appropriate user groups to determine who can view or access the category.

You can also set a Start Date and End Date if you want the category to be available only within a specific timeframe.

Finally, toggle the option “Ready to Publish this Course Category?” to decide whether the category should be made live immediately.

Step 4: Save the Course Category

Once all details and settings are filled in, click on the Save button to successfully create the course category.

If you decide not to proceed, you can click on the Cancel button to discard the process.

Conclusion

That’s it!

You’ve now successfully added a new course category in the LMS module of uKnowva HRMS.

By following this process, you ensure that all training content is properly structured and accessible, which helps employees quickly find relevant learning material and administrators to manage courses efficiently.
