TalentLMS lets you organize and manage individual training environments for different departments or learner groups using Branches.
You can also use them to create separate environments for customers.Each branch operates as an independent sub-portal with its own URL, theme, homepage, language, e-commerce setup, users, and courses.
| Note: The number of branches available depends on your subscription plan. Branches are not available on the Free plan. |
To create a branch:
1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator. Go to Home > Branches, then click Add branch (1).
2. In the Identity section (2), enter a name, title, and description for your branch. The branch URL will be generated automatically based on the name you type.
| Note: Branch names must contain at least 3 characters using only lowercase letters and/or numbers. See this article for more details. |
3. In the Branding section, select a theme (3) to visually differentiate your branch from the main portal. Upload a logo and favicon (4) if they differ from your parent company’s.
4. In the Locale section (5), select the language and time zone for your branch.
| Note: The branch language overrides any individual user language settings. |
5. Add internal and external announcements (6) for branch members and visitors.
6. Under Signup, choose a signup method for your branch members (7).
To restrict login access only through the branch URL, check Disallow members of this branch to login from main domain URL. You can also add Terms of service specific to the branch.
| Note: If a user belongs to both a restricted and a non-restricted branch, they’ll still be able to access the main domain. |
7. In the E-commerce section, select a payment processor (8): PayPal or Stripe.
You can also enable credits (9) or offer subscription-based courses (10).
| Note: All branches using Stripe must share the same Stripe account. For PayPal, each branch can use a different account. You can also mix Stripe for the main portal with PayPal for branches. |
8. In the Gamification section, choose a badge set (11) for branch members.
9. In AI Settings (12), enable AI features to assist branch users with course creation and content editing.
10. Click Save (13) to create your branch.
On the new branch page, you can see :
- Its Users (1): Click Add to branch (2) to assign users.
- Its Courses (3): Click Add to branch (4) to assign courses.
- Its Files (5): Upload and manage branch-specific files. Use the Shared toggle (6) to control visibility.
- Info: Go to this tab to edit branch settings at any time.
