Browse View Workflow

A browse view is an organization of content displayed to learners as a column in the Browse the Library menu in Skillport Learner. You can create a browse view to organize content specific to your organization.

To create a browse view

1. Create a custom view folder.
   1. In Skillport Administrator, click Content > Library on the top navigation bar.

      The Library page displays.

   2. In the Edit Contents pane, click New Folder.

      The New Root Folder dialog box displays.

   3. Complete the required folder fields.

      For more information about these fields, see Create a Root Folder. Note that the Name displays as the title of the browse view, and is visible to learners in Skillport Learner.

   4. Select the This is a Browse View check box.

      Note: Selecting this flags the custom view to display as an available Browse View on the Designate Browse View page in Skillport Administrator.

   5. Click Save.

      The New Root Folder dialog box closes, and the Library page refreshes, displaying the custom view (the new root folder) in the Browse Catalog pane.

2. Add content to the custom view folder.
   1. In the Browse Catalog pane, hover your mouse over the custom view folder.
   2. Click the Edit Contents link that displays.

      The custom view folder displays in the Edit Contents pane.

   3. In the Browse Catalog pane, locate the content folder(s) you wish to include in the custom view folder.
   4. Click the folder to highlight it.
   5. Click Copy.

      The content copies into the custom view folder and saves automatically.

3. Ensure the users you wish to access this custom view folder are entitled to the content.
   1. Click Users & Groups > User Management on the navigation bar.
   2. In the left panel, select the user or group to which you want to entitle content.
   3. In the right panel, click the Catalog Assignment tab.
   4. Locate the content you added to the custom view folder in the Catalog Assignment tab.

      Note: If the content displays in the Catalog Assignment tab, the content is entitled and your user(s) can view the content when the Browse View is enabled. If the content does not display, it is not yet entitled to the user or group.

   5. If necessary, entitle the content:
      1. Click Override Inherited Assignment (if a user) or Edit Group Assignments (if a group).

         The Catalog Assigner dialog box displays.

      2. In the Browse Catalog pane, click the custom view you created to highlight it.
      3. Click Add.

         Note: Ensure you add all the content to which you want the user entitled. Modifying a user's individual assignments removes the group entitlements, and only the content within the user's Catalog Assignment folder is available to him when he browses or searches the Library.

4. Designate the custom view as a Browse View.
   1. Click Content > Designate Browse View.
   2. Select which view you want the custom view to display:
      • Primary View: This is the default view displayed to learners, and it displays as the first column in the browse view.
      • Alternate View 1: The view displays as the second column in the browse view.
      • Alternate View 2: The view displays as the third column in the browse view.
   3. In the drop-down menu, select the custom view folder you wish to display as a browse view to learners.
   4. Click Save.

      The browse view displays the next time a learner signs into Skillport.
