The Download Asset Metadata page available from the Download menu option, allows you to immediately generate and download content metadata for any content to which you are entitled. You can use the Download Asset Metadata page to:
Download the metadata for all assets to which you are entitled.
Download the metadata for all assets that have been added or changed since the last download.
Download the metadata for specific assets and course topics, including books and videos, by entering the asset IDs.
Download the metadata for multiple assets by uploading a CSV file.
Download the metadata that allows you to direct learners into a specific folder in the Skillport Catalog.
Determine the format options such as AICC or SCORM for metadata downloads.
Retrieve the generated zip files that include the metadata.
To download asset metadata
In the OLSA Admin UI, click Download Asset Metadata, then click Download in the expanded menu.
Select the assets for which you want to download metadata:
All Metadata: Downloads metadata for all courses that are entitled to the company. This option is typically used for a first-time install, or to refresh all of your content.
Do Not Reset 'Last Download' Status: When this option is unchecked, the date and time of the download is recorded for each asset. In the future, when you download updated metadata, only assets that have changed since this date will download. You can check the option if you need to use the All Metadata option to re-download content and you do not want to overwrite the date and time of the previous download.
Updated Metadata: Downloads metadata for assets that have been updated or added to your site since the last download.
Single / Multiple Asset Metadata: Downloads the metadata for one or more assets that you specify by asset ID. Separate multiple IDs either by commas or by blank spaces (not both). You can also download the metadata for one or more topics within an asset by entering the topic IDs.
Multiple Asset Metadata: Downloads the metadata for multiple, entitled assets specified in a CSV file. Specify the assets by asset ID in the first column in the CSV file.
If your organization has enabled the ability to download folder metadata, you can use the following options:
Catalog Folder Metadata: Adds single or multiple folders to the download, and creates an RO for each folder for either Books Limited or Full Skillport mode.
Select...: After selecting either Books Limited or Full Skillport with the Catalog Folder Metadata option, click Select to open the Select Catalog Folders dialog and choose the desired folders. When you click Select in the dialog, all selected folders will appear in the list next to the button.
Select the format of the downloaded metadata:
AICC: This generates AICC metadata for the selected assets.
Mastery Score: The generated AICC files contain the Mastery Score value. A user’s score must meet or exceed the specified value in order for the course to be marked complete. The Mastery Score value can range from 0-100 or a blank value.
AICC Version: The generated AICC files contain the version value. Select a version of 2.2 or 3.5.
Note: The AICC version also determines the version to use for OLSA HACP (HTTP AICC Communication Protocol) communication.
SCORM: This generates SCORM metadata for the selected assets.
Mastery Score: The generated SCORM files contain the Mastery Score value. A user’s score must meet or exceed the specified value in order for the course to be marked complete. This value can range from 0-100 or a blank value.

CSVx: This generates the file in CSV Extended format.
CSV (UTF-16): This generates the files in CSV double-byte format.

Note: The format selection occurs on a company level and does not change with each user.
Click Submit, and then click OK to confirm the download.
An entry for the download is created in the table in the Generated Files section. You can click Refresh to refresh the page in order to monitor the download's progress. The Scope column indicates the scope of the download as follows:
