The Course panel on the right side of the Manage Course page keeps the essentials about a course in view while you manage it. Directly below the course image, it shows whether the course is Private or Public and how many steps the course has. From the course image, you can also open the Quick view, the same course summary that opens from a course card, including the course's estimated time. This article explains where to find each of these details and where to change the values they reflect.
It is intended for admins, training managers, and course creators who have access to Courses under Manage Training.
Opening a Course in Manage Training
In the left navigation, make sure you are in the Academy Workspace. Then select Training Admin, choose Manage Training, and select Courses.
Select the course you want to manage. The Manage Course page opens, and the Course panel on the right side shows the course image with the key course details directly below it. For a walkthrough of the other options in the Course panel, see Course Settings.
Visibility
At the top of the page, you will be able to view and adjust the visibility of the course — public of not public with the toggle, then checking which groups are able to view the course if it is, in fact, public.
Opening the Quick View from the Course Image
The Quick view button is available directly on the course image, so you can see how the course is summarized for learners without leaving course management.
- In the Course panel, hover over the course image with your mouse, or move keyboard focus to it.
- When the Quick view button appears, centered on the course image, select it.
- The Quick view opens for the course.
This is the same Quick view that opens from a course card elsewhere in Sigma.
Reading the Estimated Time in the Quick View
The Quick view includes an estimated time line that reads Estimated time: {value}, for example Estimated time: 1 hr 30 min. Keep the following in mind:
- The value and format are the same as the estimated time shown in the course's At a glance summary.
- When no estimated time is set for the course, the entire line is hidden. It never appears blank or as "null".
- External courses show the estimated time in the Quick view as well.
- The estimated time line appears in the Quick view of every course card in Sigma, not only in the Quick view you open from the Manage Course page.
Changing the Information Shown
The Course panel and the Quick view display values that are managed elsewhere in course management. To change them:
- Visibility: select Quick Tools from the Course panel, use the Visibility toggle at the top of the page to switch the course between public and not public, and select Save. For the audience options, see Course Visibility.
- Estimated time: select Edit Course from the Course panel and update the Course Estimated Duration. For details about this and the other course information fields, see Editing Course Info.
