Overview

A Learning Area is the foundational organizational unit in Opigno Enterprise LIP, serving as the base level of your organizational hierarchy. It represents a distinct learning environment where users access and complete their training programs. Each learning area operates independently, with its own content, users, and settings. Other hierarchy levels—such as departments and teams—are nested within each learning area, allowing you to mirror your organization’s structure and manage access, content, and reporting accordingly.

​
What is a Learning Area?

Learning areas deliver a set of essential tools and controls for organizing and managing your learning environment:

​
Learning Area Creation

A learning area is created by adding a top-level entry in your hierarchy. In Opigno Enterprise, each top-level hierarchy item represents a distinct learning area. You can set up a new learning area either through the hierarchy management interface or programmatically via the API.
To create a learning area using the API, refer to the Create Hierarchy Level API example. This enables you to automate the synchronization of new learning areas with external systems. However, integration of learning content and token creation should be performed manually.
Whether you use the interface or the API, creating a new top-level hierarchy level enables you to organize departments, teams, and users within that area.

​
Hierarchical Structure

Learning areas serve as the initial layer of your organizational structure. You can create multiple hierarchy levels within each learning area to mirror your company’s organizational chart.

​
User Assignment Control

Each user is assigned to a single learning area or a specific level within it. This assignment determines:
  • Which training programs they can access
  • What content appears in their learning
Additionally, for managers’ roles:
  • Which statistics and reports they can view

​
Content Management

You can restrict trainings, statistics, and social features to specific learning areas, ensuring users only see relevant content for their assigned area.

​
Administrative Control

Administrators can:
  • Create and manage learning areas through the dedicated interface
  • Associate each area with its own API key for secure integrations

​
Integration Capabilities

Learning areas offer extensive customization options including:
  • Content management workflows
  • User access control policies
  • API integration for external systems
