Exploring the Public Product Library

What is the Public Product Library?

Public Profile 

The Public Product Library does not require a log-in or other credential to access.  It is a public-facing URL intended to improve communication and transparency with parents and other interested parties.  It allows you to easily share an inventory of approved edtech products, relevant documents, contracts, and other important information with your parents and external stakeholders. 

You must be an Organization Administrator with a LearnPlatform District Professional subscription to enable and configure the Public Product Library. Once enabled, the Public Product Library is accessible by anyone with the URL and does not require a login or authentication

  1. Manage PPL/Edit Mode: Organization administrators who are logged in can enable Edit Mode by selecting Manage PPL, which allows for editing and configuration directly in the Public Product Library. Many of the columns shown can be configured or hidden as needed. 
  2. Welcome Message: In Edit Mode, use the open text field to type a welcome message to your parents and external stakeholders to set expectations and provide direction.
  3. List View Columns:
