Browse Views vs. Entitlement Views

There are two distinct types of views of content that you can create when organizing your library: browse views and entitlement views. Browse views allow learners to browse for content, while entitlement views facilitate assigning and entitling content to learners.

A browse view is a type of library view that:

• Is specified as a browse view in the root folder properties.
• Is eligible to be exposed to learners (up to a maximum of three browse views) when they select Browse the Library from the top of the Skillport home page.
• May be created solely for the purpose of organizing and facilitating catalog and learning plan assignments.
• Is visually indicated in the Library Manager by the icon.

Although you can create unlimited browse views, you can only designate up to three browse views at a time to be exposed in the Browse the Library area in Skillport.

Note: Learners will only see content to which they are entitled in browse views.

A learner's entitlement is content entitled to them via the catalog assigner or the learning plan assigner.

An entitlement view is a type of library view that:

• Groups content together for entitlement or assignment purposes.
• Will not appear in Browse the Library in the Skillport learner user interface (UI).

Assets can be catalog-assigned and entitled to a learner but not contained within any of the three exposed browse views. If this is the case, then:

• A learner will not find the asset by browsing the library.
• A learner can find the asset via Search.
• A learner may see the asset in their learning plan (if assigned) and/or learning transcript (if previously launched).
