  • Learning Path is Customized Help Content at your fingertips. This Concept has been introduced in Dynamics 365.
  • Using this you can now author your own content, deploy to different Dynamics 365 instances, and provide users in your organization with contextual help right inside Dynamics 365 as they work.

Importance of Learning Path:

  • Customize help content so that it is specific to your organization
  • Make guided help appear “just in time” so that users can complete their actions without leaving Dynamics 365,
  • Present different media types (e.g. videos, web links, internal/external references etc.)
  • Show content to different devices (web client, tablet, phone)
  • Write once (in one instance) and publish to multiple instances (under the same tenant), or by import and export,
  • Provide contextual help for end users with quick start tours or guide them in performing common daily tasks.

 

 Enable Learning Path For The Organization:

  • Navigate to settings à Administration à system Settings à General tab à set Custom Help URL à

Note: You can enable Learning Path or customizable Help, but not both at the same time. Confirm that Use custom Help for customizable entities and Append parameters to URL are set to No. Then Click OK.
