Knowledge Center > Helpful Links

[jtucholski]

User Story:

As a Resident, I want the ability to see additional helpful links in the same location as other learning materials so that I can easily find and engage with the content. ****

Description:

We will repurpose the Resource Management feature from the current UnlockEd version.

Currently, administrators can share additional resources (beyond Libraries and Videos) with Residents through the Resource Management page, which displays links on the resident dashboard. In the new update, these resources will be accessible through a new Helpful Links tab in the Knowledge Center.

Each link requires a title and URL. Administrators can add, edit, and delete links, with the ability to sort them alphabetically in ascending or descending order. Adding website favicons to the links would be a useful enhancement (it is not required).

Residents can access and favorite these resources through the Helpful Links tab, similar to how they interact with libraries and videos. The system will track when residents click on links, allowing administrators to monitor which resources are most frequently accessed through UnlockEd.

Tasks:

• Create a Helpful Links tab
  • Allow Administrators to Add links.
    • Administrators must provide the title and URL.
    • New links are visible by default.
  • Allow Administrators to Edit and Delete links.
  • Provide a UI to see the list of links that is similar to the Libraries or Videos.
  • Administrators must be able to change link visibility to Hidden or Visible.
• Allow links to be sorted (ascending/descending) by date added or title.
• Capture activity when a Resident clicks on a link through the Knowledge Center or the Dashboard.
• Clean up the Resource Management page and the Resource Links on the Dashboard side bar.
• Remove any components, handlers, and models that were solely created for the Resource Management page.

Acceptance Criteria

• Administrator can add, edit, and delete links from the Knowledge Center.
• Administrator can control visibility for each link in the Knowledge Center.
• Administrator/Resident can sort the links by date added or title.
• The system captures when a Resident clicks on a link and logs it as Activity.
