Custom Content

When you add custom content to Percipio, you personalize the experience for your learners with your company's information. Companies who use custom content double their learner return visit to the site.

Before getting started with custom content, it helps to understand the library hierarchy and how all the pieces fit together.

Library hierarchy

When you purchase content from Skillsoft, you buy a collection.

Collections are organized hierarchically into categories, areas, and subjects.

• Category: the top-level label in the Percipio library. By default you see the standard menu category: Skill Areas, where you can add your custom areas and subjects. You also see other categories for Certifications, Aspire Journeys, Career Journeys, Showcase, and Collections which are maintained solely by Skillsoft. You can add your own custom category which displays above the standard Skill Areas category.
• Areas: broad groupings of content that display under the standard or custom categories. Areas are listed alphabetically in the library under their category. You can create your own custom areas to present content in the best way for your learners.
• Subject: topic-level grouping of content that display under an area. Within custom areas, you can create your own custom subjects to help learners find content.

Within subjects, you see a further topic and skill-level breakdown. You see channels and Aspire journeys. Each channel or journey must be contained within at least one subject, but can exist in multiple subjects. When learners view channels and journeys, they see the individual content items that exist on the site. Each content item must be added to at least one channel or journey, but can exist in multiple channels and journeys.

• Channels: Channels are the core building blocks of the library. A channel further refines the subject into sub-topics of related content presented in an organized way. You can create your own custom channels to present content in an organized way for your learners.
• Aspire journeys: Journeys are structured learning paths which provide content to achieve the skills for a specific job role or function. You can create your own custom journeys to guide learners on a particular path.
• Content items: Content items are what learners launch to learn a new skill. Content includes courses, videos, books, book summaries, audiobooks, audio summaries, live courses, Skill Benchmarks, Practice Labs, TestPreps, dynamic content, and any custom content your admin adds. You can add your own custom content to the library so learners get targeted training about your company.
