Spotlight widget types: activity, journey, and programme

Written by Marie Xhauflair

Spotlight widgets highlight a single activity, journey, or programme in a way that grabs attention. These widgets can appear at any point in the learning experience, but always take over the full screen ensuring the content gets the visibility it deserves.

✨ New: journeys from a programme

You can now also spotlight a journey that sits inside a programme. Learners go straight to that journey from the stream, without opening the programme first.

The programme's locking and unlocking rules still apply, so you stay in control of when learners see each journey.

Spotlighted programme

  1. Go to Behaviour > Stream

  2. Click the + icon and select Spotlighted Programme

  3. Give it an internal name

  4. Select the programme you want to spotlight

  5. Add a supertitle to emphasise the importance of the programme

  6. Click Add widget

  7. Connect an automation to show it to the right learners

💡 Note: A spotlight widget without an enabled unlock automation is shown to every learner, so the automation is what limits it to the right audience. If you switch off the only automation that unlocks a widget, everyone will see it.

💡 Note: A spotlight journey tile is shown to everyone the widget is unlocked for, also when they have no access to that journey. Make sure the learners who see the widget can open the journey. The stream loads 20 widgets at a time, so a widget further down appears when the learner scrolls.
