Library page organization

The Library page is organized to help you easily find the content you need. Quick links show first taking you directly to a page showcasing all items of a particular type.

Next you may see is content your organization curated for you. Under that you see Skill Areas. Within each of these categories, you see topic areas. Drilling down into topic areas, you see subjects related to that topic. Going still deeper, within a subject, you see channels, which are very focused groups of content organized by content type.

  • Category: on the Percipio library page, you see the Skillsoft menu category: Skill Areas. Custom areas and subjects can exist here or in a custom category for your company. If a custom category gets created, it displays above Skill Areas.  
    • Custom category: If your admin creates a custom menu category, you see custom areas and subjects specific to your organization in this category.
    • Skill Areas: The main category that contains all Skillsoft areas and possibly some custom areas depending on how your admin has configured your library.
  • Areas: broad groupings of content that display under the standard or custom categories. Areas are arranged alphabetically in the library under their category.
  • Subject: topic-level grouping of content that display under an area. Select an area to see its subjects.
  • 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 cannot complete a channel.
  • Journey: Journeys are another of the core building blocks of the library. A journey offers a defined learning path of related content presented in an organized way. You can complete a journey.
  • Content: 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.

After the Skill Areas section, you see a section for Certifications available to you.
