Home

The Home icon takes you to the home page that has been configured for you by the site admin in Design Studio. This might be the default homepage specifically designed to be shown to all users on the platform or it could be one designed to be shown to you because you have a certain option selected in your profile, you belong to a certain community, and so on.

You

This takes you to the You screen, where you can see your profile and certain information applicable to you, including:

• The learning plans assigned or made available to you

• The events you can attend or are attending

• The content you’ve posted to the platform

• The communities to which you belong

Search

This takes you to the search bar where you can search the platform for content, learning plans, topics, communities and users.

History

View your history and recent activities, including the content you have viewed and interacted with.

Saved

The Saved screen allows you to quickly and easily access items that you’ve saved. You might save something important or useful, such as an item of content you or another user has created, learning plan, topic, community or event so that you can access it again without having to take the time to browse or search for it.

Notifications

Check your notifications. Visiting the Your Notifications list resets the notification count on the navigation. You’ll receive notifications when things happen in the platform that you need to be aware of. Most notifications are sent automatically when important things occur, such as missed learning plan deadlines, upcoming events, and when users comment on, report and share content.

Feed

The Feed icon takes you to the main content feed, where you can see all the content that you and other users have posted to the platform that are available to you.

When viewing the feed, you can also:

• Narrow the feed to only show certain content types

• Save items to your favourites so you can view them later

• Like, comment on, and share items with other users, your team, and your reportees and manager.

Topics

View topics you have access to, and if you have the correct permissions, create new ones. Topics can be standalone or they can be added to learning plans to form a smaller part of a user’s formalised learning.

Communities

View and access the communities you have permission to see, including those you can join and those you are already a member of, and if you have the correct permissions, you can create new communities.

Learning plans

View and access all the learning plans that are available to you, including those you have been specifically assigned as part of your formal learning, or those you haven’t been assigned but can optionally choose to take.

Events

View all the events that are available to you.

Leaderboard

View the Leaderboard screen which displays a list of users ranked by the number of points they have been awarded in Fuse. Users receive points by carrying out actions in Fuse, such as posting and engaging with content. By default, 1 point is awarded per action, however, point allocation can be adjusted for each action by the admin on the Leaderboard (Admin) screen in the Admin Panel. 

One-to-ones

Start or schedule one-to-ones with your reportee or manager to track performance goals. Goals can be set for both the manager and the reportee incase they want to work collectively to achieve something. After a goal has been completed, the manager or reportee can mark it as complete. When all the goals have been completed, the one-to-one session can be closed. 

My Dashboard

The My Dashboard screen is a personal dashboard viewable to Fuse users. This dashboard can be configured by admins in Design Studio to display information that might be useful or relevant to users, such as their average content score, recent activities, contributions, how popular their content is, and learning plans they have been assigned.

Observations

The Observations screen allows you to start a new observation. An observation contains one or more free text or multiple choice questions and is used by managers to assess the progress of a reportee, or trainers and coaches with the correct permissions assigned, to carry out observations on other users on the platform.

Surveys

The Surveys screen allows users to take surveys they have access to and view answers to surveys they have previously taken, as well as allowing admins to create new surveys for users in the platform to take.

My team

If you are a manager with reportees, you will see My team. Depending on the configuration and layout that has been selected, the My team screen can used as a convenient place for managers to view progress and information related to their reportees, as well sign off items of content from a reportee’s evidence portfolio, view answers to comprehension questions, approve access to SCORM courses, and approve event attendance requests.

Analytics

The Analytics screen takes you to the Universal Analytics dashboard, where you can find detailed data and insights related to different areas of your organisation's Fuse instance, such as user engagement, content consumption, learning plan completion, event attendance, survey response rates, one-to-one goal completion, and observational assessments in the form of filterable charts, graphs, and reports. These charts, graphs, and reports can help you spot upward and downward trends, gaps in user knowledge, and help you plan and devise future learning and content strategies so that your organisation gets the most out of Fuse.

Admin

The Admin option is available to:

• Full site admins with access to site admin permissions in the Admin Panel
  
  

• Ordinary users who are part of an admin group with certain site admin permissions granted to them.

Settings

From here you can adjust your personal settings, such as your username and password, manager-reportee relationships, notification settings, time zone, and so on.
