The window will refresh and display an “Add successful” status message to confirm the updates.
Search Courses by Major
Majors are a required element in course creation. Therefore, every LMS comes with a default “COMPANY Shared Major”. Any LMS feature that offers a Search Course or Course Picker option (e.g. Enroll Others, Training Calendar) will offer “Major” as a filter criterion.
