Skillsoft Content Status Report

The Skillsoft Content Status Report contains up to three tabs and a link to retiring books:

  • Retiring Soon: lists courses, channels, and linked content about to retire.
  • Recently Added: lists courses, channels, and linked content added to your collections.
  • Retired/Removed: lists courses, channels, and linked content already retired. You only see this tab if you are integrating Percipio with another LMS and your Skillsoft Account Team turned on the LMS Integration setting. Speak to your Skillsoft representative if this is something that interests you.
  • Looking for retiring books: this link takes you to a web page containing a spreadsheet listing books that have been retired and are scheduled to be retired.

Use this report to manage the assets in assignments, custom channels, custom journeys, and promoted content.

As a reminder, Percipio sends a monthly Retiring and recently added content email to Percipio user roles that can access this report. This email alerts you that assets in your collection are either being retired or added, and provides you a link to view the report.

To access the same report direct from Percipio at any time, from the Content menu, select Content Status.

For more information about how Percipio handles retired content within assignments, see Retired Content.

Note: The Content Status report does not include books or audiobooks, or any Percipio Compliance assets.

Specify filters, then select Update Table to view the report data in the current window.

To download your report with selected filters, you must select Update Table first before you select Start CSV Download. After you chose Start CSV Download, a message displays with a link to the Reports download tab. Select the link to view the CSV download progress and/or open the CSV file. If you do not update the table first, the CSV download uses the default filters.

Report Filters

Date filters: The Date filters apply to the content shown in the reports.
  • Date Range Presets: A drop-down list of date ranges that filters the data to the selected range. Select Custom to enter specific dates.
  • Start: Instead of using a Date Range preset, use this to specify a start date. When you enter a Start date, the Date Range Presets filter changes to Custom.
  • End: Instead of using a Date Range preset, use this to specify an end date. When you enter an End date, the Date Range Presets filter changes to Custom.

Content Rule Set: If you integrate Percipio with an LMS, you may see this option. If you select the value: Show items within the rule set, you see just the content impacted by the content rules you defined. On the Recently Added tab, you can then download an AICC package that contains just the content that was added within the date range specified.

    If you set the date to Start on September 1 and End on October 1, only the content that is retiring or has been added during the September 1 - October 1 time period is included in the list.
