When you create the global action, hide the Status field because it’s irrelevant to learners and could cause confusion. To clearly associate a new pathway with the learner creating it, set the learner contact field to default to the contact ID.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Actions, and then select Global Actions.
- Click New Action.
- Select Create a Record as the action type.
- Select Learner Pathway as the target object.
- Enter a name and description.
- Save your changes.
- Leave the Status field hidden on the learner pathway layout. Arrange other fields as desired. Fill at least the Name, Learner Contact, and Description fields.
- Save your changes.
- In Predefined Field Values, click New.
- Select Learner Contact as the field name.
- In Formula Value, enter $User.ContactId.
- Save your changes.
