Add a Language View to a Custom Channel

A language view displays the content within a specific language of a channel. You can add a language view to both custom single-view and custom multi-view custom channels that are in a Draft, Unpublished Changes, or Published status in Percipio.

To add a language view

  1. From the left navigation bar, select Content > Channels. The Custom Channels page displays.
  2. Locate the custom channel to which you want to add a language view.
  3. Select the channel name, or actions menu icon, gray elipse > the Edit button, a pencil Edit. The channel page displays.

    4. Channel page

  4. If your custom channel is a multi-view channel, set the channel view by selecting the specific technology, version, and/or expertise level from the drop-downs in the header.
    5. Note: Content added to this channel view only displays when the selections here match the learner's selections.
    For example, you create a copy of the Outlook channel and select the following options:

    Language: English
    Technology: Outlook
    Version: 2016 (Mac)
    Expertise level: Beginner

    Setting these options opens the English: Outlook 2016 (Mac) for Beginners view. Content within this view is only visible to learners if they select the same options. So if you add a Setting Up course to the English: Outlook 2016 (Mac) for Beginners view, learners who select a different language, technology, version, or expertise level do not see that specific course; you must add it to each view.
  5. On the header, select the Language drop-down.

    6. A channel header with the language drop-down circled in red

  6. Select Add Language. The language box displays:
