Introduction
The Resources module allows you to create customized links and headers within the Links menu in User mode. You can target links and headers toward one or more communities and/or cohorts. You also have the ability to define different link names for each language in the system.
The simplest resource is comprised of a single link which can link to a URL, PDF, or other files. Links can be nested within one or more headers, depending on how you want to organize your resources. For example, you can have a header called Documents, and within that header could be two PDF files, one linking to external documents and the other linking to internal documents. Headers are displayed only when they contain at least one link.
You can configure your links to expire on a certain date, define different link names for each language in the system, and target your headers and links to desktop LearnFlex, LearnFlex Mobile only, or both. Additionally, you can configure the order in which the headers are displayed in the Links menu.
