Crowd Wisdom Integrations setup

Overview

NetForum 2017 and above supports the Crowd Wisdom® Learning Management System. This feature is integrated in the 2017 and above versions, no system options needed to use this feature. This will provide the ability for users to create educational products in NetForum and sync it with Crowd Wisdom. A real time data exchange happens if Crowd Wisdom setup is done. This will ensure consistency among the products, and allow for a single entry of product information.
