Overview

SuperPath ships with a library of ready-made career Roadmaps you can copy and then tailor, which is by far the quickest way to get started. You preview a template in full before you copy it, and the copy lands in your own account as an unpublished Roadmap that you are free to rename, restructure and add learning to.

How to create a Roadmap from a template

1. Go to Roadmaps and click Create Roadmap in the top right.
2. Select Copy from Template from the dropdown.

3. The Copy a Career Roadmap window opens with the template library listed down the right-hand side. Use the Type to search templates box to narrow the list, and click a template to preview it.
4. Review the preview. It shows the template's Levels, Competencies and cell detail exactly as they will be copied. Use the eye icon at the top right to hide or show the search panel and give the preview more room.

5. When you have found the one you want, click Copy this Template at the top of the window.
6. Your copy is created and opens in the Roadmap editor with the status Unpublished.

What gets copied

The copy is a full, independent Roadmap in your account. It brings across:

• every Level and Competency, in the same order;
• the detail in each cell — description, notes, behaviours, Key skills and Technical skills;
• the Roadmap's sub title, description, cover image, department and rating scale.

You become the owner of the copy, it has no collaborators to start with, and it is always created as Unpublished so nothing reaches your learners until you publish it. Learning items attached to a template's cells are only carried over where the linked item is publicly available, so expect to add your own Pathways, courses and Events — see Assigning Learning to Competencies or Behaviours.

How to adjust your new Roadmap

1. Click the Roadmap title at the top of the editor to rename it, and use the Settings (cog) icon for the sub title, description, department, rating scale and tags — see How to Edit Roadmap Details and Settings.
2. Click a Level or Competency title in the grid to rename it, or its description to reword it. Changes save automatically.
3. Click Add Level (top right) or Add Competency (bottom of the grid) if you need more columns or rows, and use the hover arrows to reorder them.
4. Click any cell to open Competency Level Settings and edit the behaviours, skills, notes and learning for that Competency at that Level.
5. When you are happy, click the Unpublished button in the top right and select Publish — see How to Publish a Roadmap.

Things to keep in mind

• Clear the search box to return to the full template library. Once you type a search term the results also include your organisation's own Roadmaps, so you can copy one of your existing Roadmaps here as well as a template.
• Copying one of your own Roadmaps prefixes the new title with "Copy of"; a copy taken from the template library keeps the template's title, so rename it to suit your organisation.
• The copy is independent — later changes to the template do not flow through to it, and your edits never affect the template.
• You can also duplicate an existing Roadmap straight from the Roadmaps list using the Copy roadmap icon in the row actions.
• The Roadmap editor is available on desktop or tablet, not on mobile.

FAQs

Can I preview a template before copying it?
Yes. Clicking a template in the list shows the whole grid read-only, so you can check the Levels, Competencies and behaviours before you commit.

Is my copy linked to the template?
No. It is a standalone Roadmap in your account — edit it however you like.

Does the template come with learning attached?
Only where the linked item is publicly available. Plan on attaching your own content, Pathways, Events and Forms to the cells.

Can I copy one of my own Roadmaps instead of a template?
Yes. Search for it by name in this window, or use the Copy roadmap icon on the Roadmaps list.

Who can do this

Owners, Admins, Managers and Content Managers can create a Roadmap from a template (copying a Roadmap uses the "create" permission on the Roadmap subject). People Managers, Instructors, Employees and Restricted users cannot — the admin Roadmaps area is limited to the roles that can create or update Roadmaps. Roadmaps must also be enabled for your organisation.
