Review of Rise 360 course changes Author/Created by

When a course is edited by someone other than the original author, and they publish in "review" status, does Rise 360 enter the editor's name in the "created by" field?

  • Hi Carey! Thanks for reaching out! 

    No, the original Author's name is always displayed as the default author. If this has changed, a collaborator has changed this. Anyone can change the author that displays in the published course. Just click the Author drop-down list and choose one of the collaborators or hide the author altogether.

    Hope that clarifies things!

  • Is it possible to change the name of the "created by" or author to a company name vs a person?

      Hi Meno Collective,

      Your only choices are to display the name of the author or nothing at all.

    Is there a way to add custom text to the author field? Rather than a specific person, I'd like to enter a department name. Only choices from the drop-down are me as the author or to hide the field.

      Hello Ki,

      There is currently no way to add custom text to the area near the author field. The only two options available are the ones you've already pointed out, which are to display the name of the author or to hide it.

      I got around this by going to Course Theme > Cover page > add logo (right down the bottom). Then added logo and text to specify who was responsibly for the course
