Brookdale Experience Overview

Overview

Brookdale Experience is the central hub for commonly used applications. Some of the content you see is personalized live data from applications like Self-Service and Canvas. Content is displayed as cards or links and organized by categories for quick, intuitive viewing and access. The corresponding Experience Mobile App provides mobile access to the same content found in the web version of Experience.

Navigating in Experience

Your default view is your Home page. The cards on your Home page are based on your Brookdale role and the frequency and need for access to the information or resource. You can use the Category sections from the menu icon to filter the cards in the screen’s center. Some Category sections can be expanded to expose additional links. Additionally, the Resources section has links to the IT Help Desk and other applications that do not logically align with the Categories. You can customize some of the cards displayed on your Home page. New features and functions are continually being released, which may result in new cards and features displaying on your Home page or nested under Categories and Category links.
