Clicking into a course brings you to the User Insights page, which lets you see very quickly how learners are doing with a specific course, and identify any problem areas for your team. At the top of the User Insights you’ll find tiles where you can filter by users who haven’t completed the course yet, users who failed a test in the course, and users who failed the Pitch IQ of a course.
For every user assigned to the course, you will see their course status, test score, Pitch IQ score, and a pass or fail score for their tests and pitches. By clicking the three dots icon next to any user, you will have the opportunity to send them a reminder for the course, reset their test, revert a pitch to draft, or issue a certificate.

All of the work you need to complete as a manager (pitch reviews, test management, etc) will be included in your Coaching hub under My Assignments. This makes it easier to have all your tasks at hand in one spot.
To access the admin dashboard, known as the Online Platform, you need promoted member permissions, granted by your admin.
