Learn - Create multiple brands for your Learn LMS

In this article, we'll show how to set up multiple brands for your Learn LMS. This can be useful where your organisation includes several distinct businesses or business areas, and each should see a different logo and colour scheme.

A few things to know about multiple brands in Learn LMS:

• Branding can be manually assigned to an individual User, or to a Group of Users
• Branding can be automatically assigned by your People-data feed
• Where no brand is configured for a User, the default brand will be applied

Speak to your Kallidus representative if you'd like to set up auto-assignment of brands via the People-data feed.
