Gomo’s interface is designed to help you optimize productivity, streamline workflows, and keep content organized.
Learn more about navigating Gomo’s interface and what some of its key features mean for you.
The Dashboard
Your dashboard gives you an at-a-glance overview of some of your most important items, including:
- Tasks: Stay on top of your workflows and approvals.
- Recent Courses: Your dashboard automatically surfaces recently edited courses so you can jump back into work quickly.
- Pinned Items: Pin frequently used courses and folders directly to your dashboard, so they’re always a click away.
- Insights: Get a snapshot of your account activity.
Note: Previously, Gomo required you to right-click to display context-sensitive menus. The new options icon [...] has replaced the right-click action.
Courses: Keep Your Content Organized
Navigate to Courses in the left-hand navigation to manage and organize your existing content and create a new course.
View Folders
On the left-hand side of the Courses screen, you’ll find a list of your folders organized into a tree view. Use this panel to navigate between your folders.
Click on one of these folders to expand it and see a list of courses. You can also collapse this panel to save space by clicking the hamburger menu with the arrow icon in the toolbar.
Folders are hidden in the main view by default. Click the arrow beside the Folders label to expand or collapse your view.
Organize Your Courses
You can also create a new folder using the panel on the left-hand side of the screen. Click the options icon [...] beside Home and select Add folder.
To move a course into an existing folder, click the options icon [...] on the right-hand side of a course tile.
Then select Move course from the drop-down menu. Choose an existing folder and click Move.
Pin a Course or Folder to the Dashboard
Click the options icon on the right-hand side of a course or folder, and select Pin course to dashboard or Pin folder to dashboard from the drop-down.
It’ll appear in your dashboard under the Pinned Items category. To remove an item from the dashboard, click the pin icon with a strikethrough.
Streamlined Course Creation
Gomo gives you a number of course creation features designed to streamline your workflow, including:
Navigation Options
Select the Navigation tab from the course editor screen to configure which buttons you want learners to see during training (e.g., table of contents, global translation, etc.) and where you want them to appear on the screen. The image will match the layout of the navigation extras for the theme selected.
You can also configure all navigation extras at once and trigger a single build by clicking the Update Course button in the top right corner of your screen, speeding up your workflow.
A Single-Tab View
Course previews are shown in the same tab, so there’s no need to toggle between tabs while you’re creating content.
To preview a course, click the Actions button on the top right corner of your course structure view, then select Preview course from the drop-down menu. The structure view will be replaced with a preview.
To close the preview and return to the course structure view, click on the X in the top right corner.
Similarly, clicking a topic in the course structure view will open it in the editor view.
Click Close to return to the course structure view.
Rebuild Courses in One Click
It’s fast and easy to keep your courses up to date with the latest code. When you make changes to a course in the editor, you can click the rebuild button in the top-right-hand corner of the screen to trigger a build.
You’ll see the spanner icon when the rebuild is in progress. Click it to see an overview of your updates.
Tasks: Integrated Task Management
The Recent Tasks section on your dashboard serves as a built-in to-do list for your authoring workflow.
You can use Tasks in two different ways:
- Assigning tasks to others: Create a new task and assign it to another user. It will appear on the recipient’s dashboard, ensuring they’re immediately aware of their priorities.
- Personal reminders: You can also assign tasks to yourself to manage your own project milestones and deadlines.
Themes: Enhanced Customization
The Themes screen is where you’ll define the look and feel of your courses and access pre-built theme templates. Click the options icon (the three dots), then select Duplicate and customize to get started.
You also have the ability to customize your theme in the course editor using two distinct views:
- Basic: Define the essentials, such as your brand colors, font, and logo. This is ideal for making quick updates.
- Advanced: Provides granular control over every section of the course for expert users.
