Create a Custom Collection in LeaderGuide Pro
LeaderGuide Pro creates Guidebooks to support Instructor-led training, including:
Facilitator Guides and Participant Guides.
Facilitator Guides & Participant Guides are constructed from a group of components known as Parts. And Parts are grouped into Collections.
To offer variety in terms of the look and feel of the documents created, LeaderGuide Pro provides ten Collections, and allows you to create your own custom Collections. This is possible because while every Collection includes the same parts, almost all the parts in a Collection can be customized. This is how LeaderGuide Pro maintains consistency while also allowing for unique branding and other corporate requirements.
To customize LeaderGuide Pro you create a new Collection from one of the included Collections, and then you customize the Parts in your Collection. The Parts include:
Cover page
Acknowledgements page
Table of Contents
Module Overview page
Lesson page
Content Blocks
Style Guides
Graphic Cues (also known as Icons)
In this course you will learn how to create your own Collections and customize the parts.
