Actions in a course plan

Once the assignments within a course plan have been completed and the learners have started processing the learning contents, following actions are possible within the course plan for an administrator/subadministrator:

Select the Overview screen of your course plan to create various reports with learning progress information

img

Select the Reset, Complete and Delete screens of your course plan to edit or delete the listed assignments.

img

Select the Validity period screen of your course plan to see the set validity periods of the assignments (grouped and summarized). If the course plan contains multiple courses, for each course there will be a separate group containing all persons with the same validity period.

Manually changing the validity period on the "Persons" screen may create exceptions. Individual persons might thus receive different validity periods. Changing the validity period of an assignment on the "Persons" screen also changes its validity period in the course plan. Such exceptions will be displayed in separate groups in the course plan. This way, it is easy to recognise and consolidate exceptions.

In a course plan, the validity period can only be entered for the listed groups, and not for individual persons. It is not possible to see the persons included in a specific group.

Consolidation of validity periods: All exceptions can be combined into a single group by setting all their dates to exactly the same value.

Setting the validity period:

img

Resetting the validity period:  To set back the validity period of a group select the "Process from" and "Process until" radio buttons, leave the date and time fields empty and click the "Set" button.

Validity periods can only be set for courses that have already been assigned.

Create course plan (manual route)

The Course Planner is ideal for bulk processing of course assignments, whereby persons and courses are added to a course plan within which the assignment can take place. This can either be done manually or the assignment can be automatically generated via one or more rules set within the course planner. It also serves to compile an overview of the current learning progress states of the persons and courses listed in the course plan.

To create a new course planner, go into the Administration panel > Tools > Course planner and click on the New course plan button. If you wish to reuse the course plan, it is important you enter a name and save it, otherwise it will get lost (however, any assignments done within the course planner will remain active)

img

If you decide to manually organize the planner, you can go through the following steps:

  1. Add persons via the Persons panel
    img

  2. Select and add the intended courses via the Courses panel
    img

  3. Select the "Assign" screen of your course plan to see all possible assignments. Each person-course combination is listed separately. Select the person you wish to assign a course to and click the "Assign" button to finalise the process.

    img

    Persons with existing assignments are displayed on the "Overview" screen in the "Links" menu.

Bulk processing, especially when large numbers of assignments are involved, requires a lot of ressources. Depending on the server, a mass assignment of approx. 5000 persons to a course may take up to 10 minutes. Therefore, be patient when you see the respective information message.

img

If you close a course plan without saving it, your selection of persons and courses will be lost. As they don't depend on the course plan, all related course assignments will remain active. Deleting a course plan only deletes the selected persons and courses. By reassembling the persons and courses you can create a new course plan.

Should an administrator want to delete a course plan that he doesn't own (for ex. one that was created by a Subadministrator) he will be shown a "Warning - Shared course planner"

Manage e-mail templates

E-mail templates can be used for courses in a course planner. There are 2 default templates for Welcome & Reminder mails, but others can be added by an administrator in the Administration panel > More > E-mail templates. Click on New e-mail template and in the empty template form:

Click Save when you have finished the e-mail definition and the new template will become available for you in the courses within the course planner.

Changes in the email template
If you make changes in the email template, they will not be applied to an already added email. To do this, the mail must be removed from the course and added again to the course from the email template.

Sending a Welcome mail via Course Planner

In the Course Planner it is possible to define Welcome mails that are sent to the learners' e-mail addresses as soon as a course has been assigned to them. These mailing rules can only be defined in the Course Planner. The mailing rule and mail content added to a course are linked to this course and function only as long as the rule is connected to the course.

  1. In the course section of the course plan select the required course for which you wish to define the Welcome mail.
    img

  2. In the course details, scroll down to reach the E-mail rules section, then click on Add, select the E-mail template you would like to use and confirm by clicking on Select
    img

  3. Click on the required mail template on the list to display the text to be dispatched. img

  4. As you can see, the mail content was created according to the email template. You can now edit the content further. Click on the Edit button at the bottom. Text changes can now be made here.

    Via the default language you define the e-mail language to be used in case a learner selected a language in his or her profile for which there is no e-mail translation available. img

  5. To edit the dispatch time of a Welcome mail, insert the required time difference in the respective fields (first field for number of days, the second for number of hours). If more than 24 hours are inserted into the "hours" field, they will be converted into days / hours. Therefore, 25 hours will become 1 day / 1 hour.
    img

  6. When the template is added to the list, it is displayed with the status "deactivated". In order to enable email sending once you've configured it to your wishes, you need to click on the Actions dropdown, select Enable e-mail rules, select the email and click Save. The status will now be changed to "activated" and the email can be sent out according to your previous settings
    img

Sending a Reminder mail via Course Planner

In the Course Planner it is possible to also define Reminder mails that are sent to the learners' e-mail addresses to remind them of the assignment according to your defined rules. These mailing rules can only be defined in the Course Planner. The mailing rule and mail content added to a course are linked to this course and function only as long as the rule is connected to the course.

  1. In the course section of the course plan select the required course for which you wish to define the Reminder mail.
    img

  2. In the course details, scroll down to reach the E-mail rules section, then click on Add, select the E-mail template you would like to use and confirm by clicking on Select
    img

  3. Then click on the just added mail to see its content. img

  4. As you can see, the mail content was created according to the email template. You can now edit the content further. Click on the Edit button at the bottom. Text changes can now be made here.

    Via the default language you define the e-mail language to be used in case a learner selected a language in his or her profile for which there is no e-mail translation available.

    img

  5. Currently, Reminder mails can only be dispatched if a validity period (start/end date) has been defined for the courses. You set up this definition with the function "Validity period" while assigning the courses to learners (see appropriate section in Actions within a course plan (reporting, setting validity periods)

    Effective Date: Define the key event to which the rule will be aligned (the start time of the course, the end time of the course or the moment of assignment to the course)

    Distribution: Define whether the dispatch will take place before or after the defined date in the previous step.

    Time difference: The time difference indicates the difference to the key event with which the mail is to be dispatched.

    For Reminder mails, please don't define a dispatch date before the assignment date.

    img

  6. When the template is added to the list, it is displayed with the status "deactivated". In order to enable email sending once you've configured it to your wishes, you need to click on the Actions dropdown, select Enable e-mail rules, select the email and click Save. The status will now be changed to "activated" and the email can be sent out according to your previous settings

    img

Conditions for an email to be sent

If a user has not yet assigned the course, an e-mail will be sent as soon as the course is assigned and the following conditions are met:

1) Mail rule is activated  
2) User has not started the course yet or  
3) User has already started the course but not yet finished

If a user has already assigned the course, an e-mail is sent as soon as the mail rule is activated and the following conditions are met:

1) User has not started the course yet or  
2) User has already started the course but not yet finished

Changes directly in the mail
Changes made directly in the mail are only valid for this mail in this course and will not be included in the email template. If you delete this mail, the changes made will also be lost.

Changes in the email template
Conversely, if you make changes in the email template, they will **not** be applied in an already added email. To do this, the mail must be removed from the course and added again from the email template.

Course planner (rules and automatic assignments)

For creating bulk assignments, you can always manually add persons and courses to a course planner and then create the assignment. However, there is also an easier, rules-based way to create the assignments without a lengthy search process.

Description of the automatic assignment process

Pre-existing assignments will not be affected by the rule execution * Deleting a rule after its execution will not delete the assignments created on its base

Course content status

Any course content can have any of the following 3 statuses:

Activated:

Deactivated:

Archived:

Course-Contents

Edit course contents

Once you upload a course content, you can edit its details. The course content Overview screen shows the most important information of the selected course content. It also displays the course in which it is included.

img

In the Course content details screen, you can click on Edit and update following informations:

  1. Descriptive information: You can change the title, abstract and description of a course content. You can also add or delete keywords to enhance the searchability of the content. 

  2. Upload a cover image: upload a jpg or png with a recommended size of 330x220, which will then be displayed in the learner area on the learning object detail view within a course

  3. Window

    • open the content in its own window (option Blank)
    • open the content in a pop-up window (select desired size from the dropdown)
  4. Complete at startup: for some learning objects you can offer the learner the possibility for the content to be set to "complete" when he simply opens the content

  5. Set language & status of the learning object

Delete course contents

Course contents can only be deleted if they are not used in a course. You have several options for doing this:

  1. Select the course content that is yet unassigned to any course. Click on the Functions button and select Delete course content
    **img
    **If you are sure that the content is no longer needed for any of your future courses, click on OK in the confirmation pop-up. The course content will be then successfully deleted and you will be redirected to the listing of the Course Contents in your system.
    img
  2. If there are several unused course contents you would like to delete all at once, you can also go to Contents > Course contents, click on the Functions button and select Delete. Only unused learning objects will be offered for deletion. You might select all or some of them and then confirm the deletion by OK in the confirmation pop-up.
    img

Should you select Delete and then get the "No course contents found" message, then it means there are no unused learning objects available. For deletion you would need to remove the intended learning object from the course and proceed with the deletion afterwards.

Course-Contents

Upload course content

As an administrator you can easily upload course content to be later assembled into courses. A course can contain one or more learning objects. Currently, the following learning object types can be uploaded:

Access the Administration panel > Courses or Course Contents and click on the Functions button.

img

Select the option Upload course content, click on Select and upload the desired learning object. You will notice that the option "Create course automatically with" ist pre-selected. However, as long as the file you're uploading is not recognised as a valid SCORM file, only individual learning objects will be created (which you will need to add manually to courses).

img

When a file is uploaded, it is being checked for the following:

Exchange a course content's file

Extra caution needs to be lent to this procedure. This function allows you to replace the uploaded course content file to update its content.

Pay special attention that the new file must correspond to the existing learning object type. It is recommended not to change an existing learning object type. When replacing a SCORM course content file, make sure the new version does not contain any major changes, such as e.g. pages with additional test questions.

In the Administration Panel, go to Contents > Course Contents and access the detail page of the intended learning object. Go to Course content details and click Edit, then click on the Select button next to File.

img

In the pop-up, click on Save, then in the new dialog select the new file you want to upload and click on Upload button

img

In the new dialog, if you want to update the file, click again on Save

img

After this, make sure to also click Save on the Edit course content form

img

You will notice that the URL has changed to the path of the new file you have uploaded.

If you replace files in a course content which contains learning progress information, make sure to avoid SCORM-relevant changes in the new course content version. Such changes may include e.g. additional test question pages or edited feedback. In the case of major changes, you are advised to create a new course.

Cover & banner for courses

A picture speaks a thousand words and can enhance your courses attractiveness when displayed in the learner area. For a new or existing course, while being logged into the Administration panel, just click on Course details > Edit.

For a cover picture, click on Select cover and upload a png or jpeg (for best results we recommend the following dimensions: 330x220). 

Additionally, you can decide to also upload a banner (preferred dimensions: 990x250) by clicking on Select banner and uploading your jpg or png file.

img

Here's how the end result will look like in the learner area. The cover image will identify the course on all listings, like for example here in the Cockpit:

Promotional courses

Sometimes you want to grab your learners attention with a new course that they can book themselves. Such courses can be set up as promotional. Here's how to do it:

Log into the Administration panel > Courses and select your desired course. There are 3 conditions that need to be met in order to create a promo course:

  1. The course has a banner
  2. The toggle "Assignable" is activated (which means that learners can simply book the course themselves, without prior assignment through an administrator)
  3. The toggle "Display in promotional box" is activated

img

If these conditions are met the banner of the course will be prominently displayed on the top of the Cockpit page in the learner area. If several courses have been marked as promotional, the banners will slide every 5s in a carousel

img

Courses

Bookable/assigned courses

Some of the courses you only want to make available to selected learners: you assign them the course, but learners themselves cannot search or book this course by themselves. Neither can they sign out of the course assigned by them by an administrator.

However, for other courses you might want learners themselves to discover & book the course, akin to the procedure described here

Once the learner discovers the course & accesses the detail view of it, he can book it and gain access to the course's learning contents.

img

Once booked, the course status changes to "booked" and the user gets the possibility to give up on taking the course by clicking on the Stornieren button

img

If an admininistrator assigns this course to a learner, the learner can still cancel the booking at any time. So if you want to assign mandatory courses to your learner group, you need to make sure that the "assignable" toggle is deactivated in the course detail page in the Administration Panel

Courses

Certificate Courses

For some of your courses you might want to issue a certificate upon course completion. 2 options are available for this:

Issuing a certificate for a course

Once you have created a certificate course and learners have taken and completed the course, if you haven't chosen the "create automatically" option, you will need to create the certificates manually.

In the certificate course, go to Assigned persons / Completed (as this would only list the persons who can be issued a certificate), click on the dropdown Actions and select the option Create certificate

img

Select a specific person or all persons from the list and click on the Create certificate button. The certificate will be generated and the learner will get a notification to alert him to this, with a direct link to the certificate in his profile.

As an administrator, you can also see the certificates, either:

Management of course certificates

Download certificate(s)

Delete certificate(s)

img

1. Administrators can delete all certificates from a person's profile (manually generated, automatically generated at course completion, imported certificates)
2. Learners can only delete manually generated certificates by an administrator and imported certificates (either imported by themselves or by the administrator). Automatically generated certificates cannot be deleted by the person in his/her profile

Import certificate

If you would like to import a certificate (only pdf upload available), search the Person in the Person administration, go to the Certificates tab, click the Functions button and select Import

img

Select the desired pdf file, enter a certificate title and click on Import. The certificate will be listed along all the other certificates for this user.

img

Special cases for certificate courses

What happens with prior bookings if I transform a course to a certificate course? Will they automatically get issued a certificate as well?

No. If you change the course to a certificate course after learners have already completed the course, you will have to issue the certificates manually (see Certificate Course). 

Users assigned to the course after the change will be automatically issued with a certificate if you've chosen the automatic issuing of certificates (see Certificate Course).

Courses

Create a course manually

As an administrator, you can easily create a course manually: go into the Administration Panel > Contents > Courses and click on New course.

An empty form will open, where you need to:

gif

Important:

  1. Only courses with status "Activated" are fully available to the learners
  2. A course must contain at least one course content to be assignable to a person.
  3. When course contents are removed from booked courses, at least one course content must remain in the course.
  4. If you want your learners to see their results in relation to other learners' progress, you can activate the benchmark feature
  5. To enable learners to discover your course, you can tag the course with relevant keywords and make sure to save it as "assignable"
  6. You can define the course as assignable or as a certificate course
Courses

Create courses automatically by uploading SCORM files

For SCORM files, you can automatically create a course during upload. Access the Administration panel > Courses and click on the Functions button

img

Select the option "Upload course content", click on "Select" and upload the desired SCORM zip file. You will notice that the option "Create course automatically with" ist pre-selected.

img

Clicking on "Upload" will automatically create a course containing this one learning object, as the SCORM file is automatically recognised.

Courses

Add learning objects to your course

Once you have added some learning objects to your Swiss Learning Hub instance, you will want to make these available to the learners. Therefore, learning objects need to be added to your manually created courses or they can complement SCORM files in existing courses.

Simply access the Administration Panel > Courses and click on the course you would like to add content to from the listing.

In the course detail view, on the menu to the left, click on Used course contents and click on Add.

img

Either type in the pop-up the title of the learning object or search for it by using the filters for Language / Type / Status / Platform, select the radiobutton of the found available learning object and click Add.

You will see the learning object added to the list.

Alternative path

You can also directly assign a learning object to a course as follows: in the Administration panel, go to Contents > Course contents and select the desired learning object. In its detail view go to Used courses and click Add. Search for a course you wish to add this content to, select it in the Search pop-up and click Add

img

The course will be added in the list under Used courses.

Learning progress changes when adding/removing contents from a course

You can add or remove learning content from a course at any time. There are some important considerations to make when doing that. Learning progress information will be automatically recalculated when a new learning object is added to / removed from a course.

Courses with the "Completed" status will be set back to "Being processed" once new content is added to a course.

The reverse can also be true: when course contents are removed from a course, after the recalculation, the course status of "Being processed" can change into "Completed" if the removed content was the one not yet completed by the learner.

When a course content is removed from a course, the existing learning progress information related to this course content is lost and can no longer be retrieved.

How learning object status influences the overall course status

In the following table we will try to illustrate how the combination of various learning object statuses within the same course will influence the course status for a specific learner.

This is the course status you might see when generating a report for the learning progress of people enrolled in the course.

Not attempted Incomplete Failed Passed Complete Course status
At least 1 learning object 0 0 0 0 not attempted
any At least 1 learning object any any any incomplete
0 0 At least 1 learning object any any failed
0 0 0 At least 1 learning object any passed
0 0 0 0 any complete

Just to give a few examples:

Manual adjustment of status/score of a learning object

If manual adjustments of the course content score/status are needed, this can be accomplished as follows:

img

Courses

Course setup

Grouping of learning objects in course

Some courses might have a large amount of learning objects contained, making it hard for the learner to orient him-/herself within the course. He might be wondering: need I start at the top? Can I pick any learning content and start from there? Logical groupings of content within a course can help learners with such decisions and are a great way for you to organise your course.

In the Administration panel, you can go to the Used course contents area in the detail page of the course in the Administration panel, then click on the Actions dropdown and select Organisation. Click on the New group button and type in the name of the first content grouping (ex. Introduction).

img

Via drag & drop you can then move this grouping header at any position among the learning objects: all contents below it will be now part of this grouping. You can repeat the process for as many groupings as you deem necessary & Save, so that your course page might look something like this:

img

For the learner, this allows him to visually organise the detail page of the course: he can collapse the sections he has not reached yet and keep an eye on the expanded area where he is currently actively learning

img

Status, results & elapsed time

Courses come in all colors and flavors, with some content extremely relevant for the final result and other content optional or meant to enrich the learning experience. How can you reflect these different weighings on your course setup?

In the Administration panel, go to the detail page of your course and access the Used course contents area, then click on the Actions dropdown and select Define course influence. By default, when adding course content to a course, all 3 options are activated: relevance to Status, Results, Elapsed time learning. But let's look at an example:

img

Let's say that for this course you would like to accomplish the following:

Therefore, your final setup might look like this: img NOTE: Every time these setting are changed, the course status of the entire course will be recalculated for each learner

Strict order of learning content

You've uploaded several learning objects to your Swiss Learning Hub instance and have started creating courses with them. You might be wondering which options are available to you in terms of the order of the learning objects and their influence on the course status or overall result. Let's take a look at some of the details.

For some courses, you would like your learners to take a liniar approach, for example go through some instructional learning content and then take a test to prove their knowledge or newly aquired skills. You can enforce this by accessing the Used course contents area in the detail page of the course in the Administration panel, then clicking on the Actions dropdown and selecting Organisation

img

Via drag & drop you can define the desired order of the learning objects, then you need to select the "Strictly comply with sequence" radiobutton and Save.

As you can see from the image below, the effect this has for the learner is that he can access and progress to the second learning content only if he completes the first one. This way you can ensure that all learners progress in the same order within the course.

Courses

Benchmarking / Performance comparison

Depending on the learning objectives of your course, sometimes you may decide to increase learner motivation by showing them a comparison of their own perfomance in relation to that of other learners enrolled in the same course and in relation to a mastery score (for SCORM files). 

The setup in the Administration Panel is as follows: go to Contents > Courses and select the target course. Under Course details, click Edit and activate the toggle for "Benchmarking visible"

img

Performance comparisons are only possible for SCORM learning objects that have been defined as being [relevant for the course overall score](https://docs.swisslearninghub.help/books/corporate-learning-en/page/course-setup). Other types of learning objects will not be taken into consideration, as there is no scoring information available for them.

On the course detail page the learner can then access the performance diagramms:

As can be seen below, each SCORM content displays the average value of already obtained scores of learners who have completed that content, alongside the expected mastery score and the learner's own performance. 

img

The comparison over a single learning object within the course is possible in the content detail view page.

You can finegrain the data displayed by additionally selecting a start date for the benchmarking. This will only display data for learners that have been assigned the course on and after the set date. Your configuration would look as follows:

Course assignments

There are 2 main options for course assignment: from the Courses or the Persons screen.

Courses

Course status

Courses in Swiss Learning Hub can be activated, deactivated or archived. 

Activated courses:

Deactivated courses:

img

In the learner course detail view from above, you can notice that the learning objects are greyed out and the Run buttons are hidden from view. The course cannot be actively processed by the learner.

Archived courses:

img

As you can see above, the "Assign" button is missing from the Assigned persons area. However, all persons that have taken the course are still displayed, which allows you to keep all learning progress information.

Courses

Edit a course

Oftentimes you have uploaded a SCORM file whose details you would like to edit or the information in a course is simply outdated. These are your editing possibilities in Swiss Learning Hub when you access Course details > Edit:

  1. Descriptive information: You can change the title, course_id, abstract and description of a course. You can also add or delete keywords to enhance the searchability of a course. 
    img
  2. Status: You can change the course status to affect its visibility / access for the learners
  3. Learners perfomance benchmarks: depending on whether you want to enable comparisons with other's learners achievements, you can activate or deactivate the benchmark feature
  4. Promo: You can set a course up as promotional
  5. Certificate: You can set a course up as offering a certificate upon its completion

Review mode

Review mode for administrators

The review mode allows you to gain insight into the status and learning progress information of a SCORM 1.2 course content for a particular person, without changing learning progress information. This means that you can see the answers of the learner or the pages he has already visited, without actually being able to change any responses or statuses within the module ("read-only" mode).

Access review mode from Person detail page

To view the status and learning progress information of a course content of a particular person,

Access review mode from Course detail page

The review mode button to reload the status and learning progress information of a reset course content is displayed under "Course registrations" on the "Course content" screen.

The course content can only be started, if it has been uploaded as a SCORM 1.2 file. Opening the module in this mode allows the administrator to browse through all pages, questions with their answers and solutions, irrespective if the Test review has been permitted or not in the STAGE authoring tool. The data that has already been saved in Tracker cannot be changed.

img

For a correct funtioning of the review mode of STAGE Modules, these should have been created with at least STAGE-Version 1.15.5.

Review mode for learners

The administrator can also grant access to the review mode to the learner, who may see all his answers and the correct solutions.

Starting from Persons:

An alternative route to the same end is also possible starting from the Contents screen, similar to the process described at review-mode-for-administrators.

img

When the user logs in and visits his course page, he will see the review button for the module he has been granted access to. Via this button he can also open the course content in "read-only" mode, so that he can see his answers and the suggested solutions, without being able to modify them anymore.

img

When the review mode ends, the administrator can revoke the access rights for the learner. By following the same steps as described for the first screen, he now needs to select the option "Revoke sharing of course content review" in the Actions dropdown and then save this option for the course content.

Properties

Create topics and sub-topics

Help your learners with easily finding courses for the subject matter they are interested in by organizing courses around different topics. They are displayed in the learner area under Content, like for example here in card view: img

or on the same page, in listview, as such: img

Here's how to configure topics: in the Administration panel > More > Properties, click on the first row Topic. img

To create a new topic, click on the button Add, then:

Delete topics

Unused topics can be deleted, under one condition: that they do not contain sub-topics. As long as there are sub-topics, a parent theme may not be deleted from the system.

When the topic is stand-alone, you can just go to the Administration Panel > More > Properties > Topic > click on the topic you wish to remove and click Delete. img

Confirm the deletion by clicking OK in the confirmation pop-up and the topic will be removed from the system.

Please note that the deletion of a topic will also remove it from the courses it was associated with, but otherwise the contents will not be affected by the removal of the topic association.

Deleting topics might cause the loss of the access rights of particular roles (e.g. Subadministrators)! Therefore, before deleting topics, it is important to make sure that these special roles do not use the topics.

Edit the path of a subtopic

Sometimes you will need to reorganise the structure of your topics. Or you might want to delete a topic, but not lose its sub-topics. What can you do then? Let's say that you'd like to move the topic "Switzerland" under the umbrella of "Europe" main topic.

You might reassign the sub-topics to another main topic, which goes easily like this:

In Administration Panel > More > Properties > Topic > click on the topic you wish to reassign to another main topic and click on Edit. In the field "Path" start typing the name of the topic that will become the parent of the currently edited topic and hit Enter when you found the desired one. Then click Save. type:video

If you wish to display the topic on the top level (as main topic), leave the Path field empty.

Enable topic for display in the cockpit

If you want to display learning progress information for the users on their cockpit, then you need to first activate this feature in the Admin area.

Go to More > Properties > Topic and click on the intended topic. Then click Edit and mark the radiobutton for Display on the Cockpit, then hit Save. img

Once the learner accesses the cockpit (given he has courses booked/assigned for that topic), he will be able to view an overview widget with the number & status of the courses.

Sort topics

Topics are sorted alphabetically. If you wish to list them in a different order, you may edit the topics' property fields without editing the translations.

The learner sees the translations only.

For example : You wish to place the topic "Introduction" before the topic "Compliance" on the topics list. img

To do this, just rename the topics' properties to "01 Introduction" and "02 Compliance", while leaving the translations as they were. This brings no change to the learner interface, but you get the order you desire in the Administration panel img

Organisation units and jobdescriptions

Organisation units/jobdescriptions are property groups which also may be ordered hierarchically, in the same way as topics, the difference being that they are applied to persons and not content.
