AdminPrograms & cycles

Programs are the backbone of SkilSure. Each program is a wrapper around one or more cycles — scheduled runs of the program that users actually enrol in.

Browse existing programs

Open Programs → Programs to see what already exists in the tenant.

Create a new program

Click New Program in the top-right of the Programs list.

The new program creation form.The new program form. Provide a title, image, description, and program type, then save.

  1. Click New Program.
  2. Fill in the title and description.
  3. Upload an image — this becomes the program card in the user portal.
  4. Save. You'll be returned to the program's edit view, where you can add cycles and a definition.

Manage the program's cycles

The program edit page is built around its Program Cycles table. Each cycle has its own dates, definition, and enrollments.

Program edit view with the Program Cycles table showing 2026 and 2025 cycles, each linked to the e-Portfolio definition.Program Cycles tab. Every cycle row shows its dates, the definition it uses, and live enrollment counts.

From this view you can:

  • Create a new cycle — typically once a year — using Create New Cycle.
  • Edit a cycle — change its title, dates, definition, and lifecycle behaviour.
  • Manage Definition — open the cycle's definition to add paths and steps.

Create & configure a cycle

Click Create New Cycle (or Edit on an existing one) to open the cycle editor.

Edit Program Cycle dialog with title, start date, deadline date, definition selector, and enrollment lifecycle settings.Edit Program Cycle. Set the basics up top; the Enrollment Lifecycle controls what users can do before, during, and after the cycle.

  1. Title — usually the cohort name (e.g. 2026).
  2. Start Date and Deadline Date — bound the cycle.
  3. Definition — pick an existing definition (recommended, so cycles share structure) or click + to create a new one for this cycle only.
  4. Enrollment Lifecycle — three stages, each with its own toggles:
    • Before Start Date — allow early access so enrolled users can start before the official start.
    • After Submission — set the access level (e.g. No Restriction) so users can keep reviewing content after submitting.
    • After Grace Period — define what happens once the deadline plus any grace window has passed.

Why cycles?

They let you re-run the same program year after year (a 2026 cohort, a 2027 cohort) without duplicating content or losing prior users' data. Two cycles can point to the same definition, or each can have its own.

See all cycles across programs

Settings → Cycles gives you a tenant-wide view of every cycle and the program it belongs to.
