Manage HTML Pages

The LMS offers several standard HTML pages available for customization to meet customer needs on the login page, the My Learning Page, the What’s New home page, and more.

Feature Overview and Requirements

Customizing HTML pages or blocks can give  your LMS portal a look and feel your employees recognize, in addition to providing information, instructions, and other communications to augment their learning experience. 

Standard LMS HTML pages available for editing by portal administrators include the What’s New page, the login page, the self-registration page, and the My Learning page. 

Note: When editing an HTML page, the LMS does not store versions for restoration to earlier revisions. We recommend that prior to customization, you copy and save the original HTML Source Code to Notepad or other text editor so that you can revert to the original if necessary.  You can also copy the existing page, rename it, then make your edits in the copy so that the original exists for restoration if necessary.

Step by Step Procedure and Field Description

To edit HTML Content:

  1. From the Administration menu, select Site Management > Edit HTML Content.
  2. On the Edit HTML Content page, from the HTML Content File drop-down list, select the content file you wish to edit. Commonly modified files are:
    • home_page: the area under the Welcome section on the Classic home page or the default content for What’s New from the Navigation page.
    • custom_left_nav: the set of links under the Quick Links menu in the left navigation pane of the Classic home; you can customize this to contain links to external sites or to custom HTML pages you add to the LMS using the Edit HTML Content function. Change the title of the Quick Links menu by editing the HTML <title> tag under Source. Latitude pre-populates this section with several links, including access to the Latitude Navigator training portal and the ability to request an LMS Upgrade. Removing these links via the HTML editor will prevent this from happening.
    • login_page: the area to the left side of the page on which users enter their credentials to log in to the LMS. This is a great place to provide contact instructions and information if the user is having problems using the LMS.
    • register_page: the top section of user Self Registration page. You must contact Latitude ClientCare to have User Self-registration enabled before you will actually get access to the page.
  3. After making a selection, all current content displays in the Content area as rich text. Edit the information using the formatting buttons in the editor. If you know HTML and want to edit the code directly, click Source. The screen below shows these two editing options.
  1. Click Submit to save changes.

You can also add new HTML pages by clicking Add under the HTML Content File field. You can then link to these new pages from within other HTML content, including adding them as links in the Quick Links menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create new HTML pages in the LMS?

Yes, it’s possible to do this by using the Add option on the Edit HTML page.  Custom pages can then be linked in other HTML pages or displayed instead of the existing page in various branding settings. 

For instance, if you create a custom page with all of your internal LMS support and help desk information, you could provide a link to that page on your login HTML page or the My Learning page to help your users contact you or your support desk for LMS assistance.
