Portal: set up redirects to and from courses

Elizabeth
  • Updated

Make seamless links between your software and LearnUpon courses

This article outlines the settings required in your intranet or supporting digital ecosystem, to set up redirects between LearnUpon courses and the surrounding applications.

From your supporting software, learners can move straight into a course via a link.

When learners select Exit in their course, they return seamlessly to the point of entry - an intranet, an application or wherever you have embedded the course.

Availability: all customers on request

Speak to your Customer Success Manager or the Support team about turning on this feature to accompany the redesigned interface and course experience.

See Learner view: redesigned interface and course experience.

Consult your IT team to understand the requirements to make this feature work for your organization.

Requirements in supporting software

Warning: by enabling this feature, LearnUpon temporarily stores the referrer URL from the originating site in session storage to redirect users back upon course exit.

While this process improves the user experience, it requires LearnUpon to store the Referrer URL in local session storage. For this reason, you should ensure that there is no sensitive and/or personal data in the Referrer URL.

Set up external redirect functionality

To make this flow work correctly, the supporting application must:

  1. Use a referrer policy that allows sending the referrer, such as:
    • no-referrer-when-downgrade (default in most browsers)
    • origin
    • strict-origin-when-cross-origin (safe default)
  2. Avoid using no-referrer.
  3. Redirect to LearnUpon in the same tab or window, not a new one (no target="_blank"), so that the document.referrer is set correctly.
  4. Avoid intermediate redirects that strip the referrer header.
