Hi all,

I've recently upgraded my site to Totara 12, and have been looking at configuration of the new course catalogue layout, but I've actually chosen not to implement this until I can understand some slightly counter-intuitive aspects of the user experience:

1. Whilst the item and detail configurations both allow the addition of icons, these are only for course type, course icon, and activity types. Is there an option for partners / is there anything on the roadmap to allow the addition of course custom field icons? Our courses are classified by subject area (together with glitzy icons), and it would be of great benefit to be able to add these to the tiles.

2. Whilst the details section that appears when you click on a tile appears to be useful, in practice it seems to just add another click for end users - in T11 the flow was Catalogue > Course enrolment page > Course page, but now this seems to have become Catalogue > Details section > Course enrolment page > Course page. Can anyone advise if this is what was desired, or have I missed something in the configuration?

3. When using seminar direct enrolment, in T11 the course enrolment page would display seminar event dates for users to choose from before they were enrolled. The details section doesn't replicate this, and so (to reemphasise the previous question somewhat), the user flow is Catalogue > Details for a brief description > Course enrolment page for dates and enrolment in a particular event > Course page.

Is anyone able to advise on these points? All comments welcome!

Many thanks,

Ian
