Create A Custom GingrU Course (How-to)

Each Gingr app comes with a range of pre-made GingrU Courses that show how to use basic, intermediate, and advanced features and tasks within the software. Additionally, Custom GingrU Courses can be created to tailor training resources to fit the needs of your business.

Courses consist of Steps, which each contain an instructional video and at least one question to assess understanding.

Before You Begin

To create or modify a course, users must have the permission enabled to Manage GingrU Courses. This permission can be assigned by navigating to Left-hand Navigation: Reports & More » Groups:
To create a Custom GingrU Course, you will need to prepare the material that will be covered in it. This includes developing a course outline, recording instructional videos, and creating questions to assess understanding. There are a number of platforms and apps available outside of Gingr which can provide tools to record and edit video content and screen recordings.
Once recorded, we recommend uploading videos to Vimeo for use in Custom GingrU Courses.
