Manage career communities

Applies to 2.0.0 and later

Create, edit, reorder, and delete career communities, and assign programs to them from Catalog.

Manage career communities

Career communities are the groupings students browse on the Career Communities page and choose from as the first step in Compass. A career community is a Catalog program area with extra display details attached, so every program area you’ve already created also appears here.

Create a career community

  1. In the Pathways sidebar, click Career Communities.
  2. Click Add Community.
  3. Enter a Name. A URL slug generates automatically; edit it if you want a different one.
  4. Optionally add a Description.
  5. Click Create Community.

This creates a new program area. It’s available immediately in Catalog’s Program Areas picker as well as here.

Note: If you already have program areas from Catalog (for example, one created while building out your programs), don’t recreate them here. They already show up in the Career Communities list, just without a description, color, or image yet.

Add display details to a community

  1. In the Career Communities list, click the community.
  2. Fill in:
    • Description: shown on the Career Communities page and passed to Compass results.
    • Image: shown on the community’s card. Click Choose Image to select from the media library.
    • Icon Class: a CSS icon class (Font Awesome or a custom one your theme defines).
    • Color: a hex color used as the community’s accent throughout Pathways.
  3. Click Save Changes.

Reorder communities

Communities on the Career Communities page and in Compass sort by their Order value, lowest first.

  1. Open a community.
  2. Set Display Order to a number. Communities with the same order fall back to alphabetical.
  3. Click Save Changes.

Assign programs to a community

Program-to-community assignment happens on the program itself, in Catalog, not in Pathways.

  1. In Catalog, open the program.
  2. Under Program Areas, add the community you created.
  3. Save the program.

The program now counts toward that community’s Programs total on the Career Communities list, and it appears as an option under that community in Compass.

Note: A program’s career community is its Area of Study. The Pathways Program Pathway editor shows the community read-only on the Overview tab; assign or change it with Catalog’s Program Areas field on the program.

Delete a career community

  1. In the Career Communities list, open the row actions for the community and choose Delete.
  2. Confirm the deletion.

Deleting a community does not delete its programs. They become unassigned from that community and no longer appear under it on the Career Communities page or in Compass, until you assign them to another community.

If a community isn’t showing on the Career Communities page

The page only lists communities with at least one published program assigned. If you’ve just created a community and added a description, it stays invisible on the front end until a program is assigned to it in Catalog.
