Welcome to Loree Admin Dashboard

Glad! Managing Loree editor interface features via Loree Admin dashboard. 

Navigation to Loree Admin Dashboard

Happy to help you to take a tour of the Loree Admin Dashboard!

For navigating into the Loree Admin Dashboard,

1. We need to create a Loree-admin in institutional roles. (Role name: Loree-admin, Role id: LOREEADMIN )

2. Then assign it to the user as a secondary institutional role, who needs Loree admin access.

For these above steps, we need to add the LTI tool parameter. Add these parameters in tool provider custom parameters: admin_role=@X@user.secondary_institution_role@X@Steps to Add parameter:

BB Admin page -> LTI Tool provider -> Edit Loree -> Add Tool Provider Custom Parameters.

Once, the user is added to the Loree-Admin role, the user can see the Admin button in the top right corner of the Modules page of the Loree LTI in the Blackboard. By clicking the Admin button, the user can manage the features of the Loree editor via the Loree Admin Dashboard. We have an organization limit on the admin dashboard. So we will be able to view only the status in the admin dashboard within the organization. This will keep the organization’s data protected.

To exit the Admin Dashboard we have to click on Exit Admin in the top right corner of the Admin Dashboard page.

Dashboard

After switching to the Admin dashboard you will see the first option as Dashboard. When you click on Dashboard you can view the dashboard details in total numbers.

Roles & Features

Once after switching to the Loree Admin Dashboard by clicking the Admin button, the user will be able to see the Roles & Features Accordions and their corresponding Tabs,

Loree Roles

Loree Roles will take care of the features for a particular role. By default, the Teacher and Designer Loree Role with all the features enabled will be created by Loree. In detail, when the Admin enables/disables features for a role say Teacher or Designer or Create New Role (the admin can create a new role by clicking the Click New Role button in the right corner) say Role 1 or Role 2, these roles should be mapped with the Blackboard Roles (Course role of a user) to get the desired features in the Loree editor.

Note: The account admin of the Blackboard instance will get all Loree features by default.

There will be six features with dropdown options to enable one or multiple options in each section. Only the Loree admin will be able to enable the options using the Admin dashboard.

Basic: This option will allow the admin to enable or disable the basic features of Loree Editor.

Advanced: This option will allow the admin to enable or disable the Advanced features of Loree Editor.

Custom Blocks: This option will allow the admin to enable or disable the option to Create, Edit, and Delete the Templates/ Rows/ Elements. based on the Loree role that the admin has selected. They can also allow the users to add New Categories.

Loree Interactives: This option will allow the admin to give access to the users to Create, Edit, Duplicate, and Delete the Loree interactives as My Interactive and Global Interactive.

H5P: This option will allow the admin to give access to users to Create, Edit, and delete the H5P based on the roles.

Color Picker: This option will the admin to allow the user to view and use the option of Color Picker - Saturation Palette, Color Picker - Transparency, Color Picker - Custom colors, Color Picker - Hex/RGB, and Secondary Color palette.

Blackboard Roles

Blackboard Roles will fetch all the roles in the sub-account of the course that you have entered. And if you have entered a course that is not created under any sub-account then your Blackboard instance will show all the Root account roles and if the Admin switches to Sub-Account then it will fetch the roles in the particular Sub-Account. Once the Loree Roles are created by using the Loree default role, the Loree Roles should be mapped with the Blackboard role which is the role based on the particular course role(Blackboard course navigation → People → role assigned).

Note: ‘Select role’ (default - dropdown select) will not assign any features or roles.

If the Admin mapped the Loree roles for the 'Root Account' then it will reflect in all the Sub-Accounts and courses. Also, the Admin can map the Loree roles based on the Sub-Account in the Blackboard instance by clicking the Root Account button.

The sub-Account list will be fetched and can select the desired Sub-Account which roles to be mapped,

Click the 'Fetch roles' button to fetch the subaccounts roles, and map the desired Loree roles.

If the admin has entered a course that is created under a sub-account then the admin will only have the access to update roles and features for the course he has selected based on the sub-account of the course.
For Example:
If we are working on a course present in a sub-account named Migration training we can only map the roles for the Migration training Sub-account or its child account (sample, sample-dep-03) as mentioned in the screenshot below.

The Blackboard credentials

This is a default configuration and can’t be updated.

Style Manager

Style Manager Accordion in the Loree Admin dashboard will carry three amazing customization options in the Loree editor. The below sections will talk in detail about the Custom colors, Custom Headers, and Custom Links.

Custom Colors

We now have two options under Customs Colors, the Primary section is Global Colors and the secondary section is Additional Custom Color palettes.

Global Colors

Global Colors will carry a full-color spectrum palette in which any organizational or desired colors can be chosen and Saved (bottom of the Custom Colors accordion) to fetch inside the Loree editor to use for any of the Background, Border, or Font colors.

Once we click on the (+ Color) Icon and we will have the ability to either choose a color from a color scaling tool, input a specific Hex code for the color, or input a specific RGBA code of the color to be applied. We can choose options of Hex code and RGBA code from the dropdown.

Additional Custom Color palettes

Additional Custom Color palettes are our secondary section. Here Loree admin will be able to create multiple color groups inside custom colors. and they can start adding the colors inside it and can share it Globally.

To create a new Color palette admin can click on Create Color Palette under Custom Colors.

After clicking on Create Color Palette there will be a popup window where we have to update the name of the Color Palette. After updating the name Create option will be enabled we can click on it to create a new Color Palette.
Note: The name of the palette should be unique, If we try to use a duplicate name we cannot create the palette and there will be a message on the screen as the Color group already exists.

When the group is created we will get a message as “New color group created successfully”.

Once the group is created we can click on the (+ Color) Icon and we will have the ability to either choose a color from a color scaling tool, input a specific Hex code for the color, or input a specific RGBA code of the color to be applied. We can choose options of Hex code and RGBA code from the dropdown. After the colors, we can click on save to save the selected colors in the group.

After saving the desired colors for the group palette admin will now be able to edit, share and delete the color palette by clicking on the three dots on the right side of the palette.

Admin can Edit the name of the color group by clicking on the edit option. Admin can delete the color group by clicking on the delete option. Admin will be able to make a color palette Private or Global by clicking on the Share option. When a color palette is changed to global it will be available for all the users to use in the organization. When a color palette is changed to private only the admin can view it this option will help the admin to create a palette and keep it only with them and can be used in future when shared.

The Globe Icon next to the name shows that this palette is shared Globally.  

The Lock Icon next to the name shows that this palette is private.

Color Picker Option in Roles and Features.

Now the Loree Admin will be able to manage the Color Picker options from the admin dashboard → Roles and features → Color Picker.

This means, even if the admin shared the custom color groups globally they could manage the availability of the custom colors based on user roles.

Ex: Admin can restrict the teachers to use Global color groups.

Custom Headers

In Custom Headers, the admin can set 6 headers and paragraph Font style and Font size and should Save them. When a Paragraph is used or any of the Headers are used the Font style and size set up in the Loree Admin dashboard will be reflected.

Custom Links

The Links can have colors and font styles like size and font family in Loree. When Custom Links like their font family, size, link decoration, and link style can be set in the Custom Links option in the Loree Admin dashboard to reflect in the Loree editor.

Note: All links like the external links or quick links for the whole organization will have the same link style applied in the Custom links in the Loree Admin dashboard.

Loree Interactive

Using this option Loree admin can manage interactives for all the users. Admin can edit the name of an interactive using the edit option or delete any unwanted interactives from the list. using the delete option. Admin can also share any interactives to Private and Global folders using sharing option.

We have provided multiple options to search and filter between interactives.

We can always search for any interactives by their name.

If we want to delete multiple interactives we can select multiple interactives by clicking on the check box and then clicking on the delete option on the top.

Using roles and features admin can give permissions for creating, Editing, Duplicating or Deleting a Loree Interactive based on the Loree Roles.

Admin can add a new category to the list by clicking on the [+ New Category] option. Users will only see the Categories in the list that are updated by the Admin.

Admin can always search the categories by their names.

We have also provided a pagination option at the bottom of the Category page that makes it easy for the admin to move through pages or select the number of rows to be visible per page.

Loree Admins will now have the option to change all the customs blocks from one category to another category by clicking on the Delete Category option → When we select the Delete icon we will get an option to select the new category for all the Custom Blocks under the Current category from the drop-down option that contains all the available categories.

After selecting the New Category we have to click on the Change option.

After clicking on all the Custom Blocks present in the Current Category will be moved to the new Category.
