The Waffle button lets you quickly move between connected TalentLMS products from one place. It appears as a nine-dot icon in the top-right corner of your portal header. When you click it, a product menu opens showing the TalentLMS products available to you, such as TalentLMS, TalentCards, and TalentHR.
What is the Waffle button?
The Waffle button is a cross-product navigation menu that helps users move between TalentLMS products without having to manually search for another portal or sign in again.
In connected portals, it shows the products your account can access. The product you are currently using is highlighted, while other available products appear as selectable options.
When does the Waffle button appear?
The Waffle button appears depending on your role and whether your products are connected.
- Account Owners can always see the Waffle button, even if products are not connected yet.
- SuperAdmins, Administrators, Instructors, and Learners can see the Waffle button only after user synchronization between connected products has been completed successfully.

What happens if your role is different in each product?
Your role in one product does not change your role in the other.
For example, if you are an Administrator in TalentLMS but a Learner in TalentCards, selecting TalentCards from the Waffle button redirects you to TalentCards with learner-level access.
Similarly, if you are an Administrator in TalentCards but a Learner in TalentLMS, selecting TalentLMS redirects you to TalentLMS with learner-level access.
The Waffle button helps you move between products, but each product still applies its own roles and permissions.
What if your products are not connected?
If your TalentLMS portal is not connected to another TalentLMS product yet, Account Owners can still use the Waffle button to discover other products.
When the Account Owner hovers over the Waffle button, it shows See more by TalentLMS. Clicking on it, opens a pop-up with available TalentLMS products they can explore.
From this pop-up, Account Owners can:
- Select Get more info (1) under TalentCards to open the TalentCards express interest modal.
- Select Get more info (2) under TalentHR to open the TalentHR express interest modal.
- Learn about TalentLibrary™ (3) if it’s not currently included in the subscription. The Waffle menu will suggest TalentLibrary with a Learn more button, which links to your portal's TalentLibrary page.
Clicking to get more information for TalentCards and TalentHR, will open another modal. Click I'm interested (4) and an email to submit your interest will be automatically sent. Click Not now if you want to explore this later.
| Note: The Waffle button provides seamless navigation between TalentLMS products, but it is not a full SSO setup. The smooth login experience works through product redirection after you are already signed in. |
