eFront lets you integrate your portal with TalentCards, our bite-sized training solution, through a native plugin.

By syncing your eFront and TalentCards accounts:

• All your TalentCards sets and sequences are mapped to eFront courses.
• All your eFront users are mapped to TalentCards users.
• All users associated with a TalentCards set or sequence are mapped to eFront users and associated with the course that has derived from that set or sequence.
• All TalentCards users' progress on sets and sequences is transferred to the respective eFront courses.
• All your eFront branches are mapped to TalentCards groups.

To set up your integration, follow these steps:

A. Activate the TalentCards plugin

1. Sign in to your eFront account as the main Administrator and go to Home > Plugins.

2. Locate TalentCards (1) and click the plugin symbol in the Operations column to install it. To save time, just type TalentCards in the search field (2).

3. Click the switch (3) in the Status column to activate the plugin.

Once activated, a shortcut to the TalentCards plugin (4) is added to your admin dashboard (Home).

B. Set up the TalentCards plugin

1. Sign in to your TalentCards account as Administrator and go to Users (1).

2. Locate the account Owner and click the respective edit symbol (2).

Your TalentCards plugin dashboard displays all the data imported from your TalentCards portal, organized in three tabs: Sets, Users, and Groups (7).

Your data is now synchronized and properly displayed on your Sets, Users, and Groups tabs.
