Select Skillsoft Content for Your Catalog

By creating a Content rule set, you choose all the relevant Skillsoft content to deploy to your system catalog. Depending on your system, you deploy the chosen content using either connectors, an AICC package to an FTP site, or an AICC package that you download manually.

Before you start, review the rules and scenarios to gain an understanding of how best to achieve the desired content selection.
