Create a Pathway

All Degreed users can create Pathways, but you must have specific permissions to share those Pathways with your organization.

Permissions may be required to access some pages in Degreed or perform specific tasks. For more information, see Permissions in Degreed (accessible by Degreed Admins only).

Related Permissions:

• Manage Pathways: required to edit a Pathway that is visible to your organization.
• Create Organizational Pathways: required to make a Pathway visible to your entire organization.

To Create a New Pathway

2. Click the Pathways option from the navigation panel
   Your Pathways page displays a list of all Pathways you are Following and Authoring (including the Pathways you are a Collaborator on).
3. Click the +Create button at the top of the page.
   The Create Pathway dialog box displays. 
4. Enter a Pathway Name.
   This displays on the Pathway tile:
   
5. Optionally, enter a Description.
   The description displays when you open the Pathway:
   
6. Enter a Pathway Primary Contact. Only one primary contact is allowed. The primary contact can be an individual or a group. A group contact can include open, closed, private, or admin groups. The Primary Contact only displays on the Pathway Create and Edit modals.

   The Crop Image dialog box displays.

   A new Do not display header image on pathway page option displays in the Create Pathway window.
9. Optionally, if you do not want your image to display as a blurred image on the Pathway page, select Do not display header image on pathway page.
10. Optionally, if you do not want to display the estimated duration of content within the Pathway, select Hide the estimated Pathway duration.

    If the Skill does not yet exist in your organization, click the Skill name you entered to add it as a new Skill.
13. Optionally, add additional Pathway Collaborators. Collaborators can edit the Pathway's content and edit the settings.
14. Optionally, select Allow collaborators to publish this Pathway to the organization if you want your collaborators to publish (and therefore make visible) their changes to the organization. Collaborators must have the Manage Pathways permission to make the Pathway visible to the organization.
15. Click Save Pathway.
    The Pathway saves and the Edit Pathway page displays, where you can change the visibility settings, add sections, subsections, and content items.
