Create a Series

You can create a series, which is a folder of content that you explicitly order to suggest a specific order of completion. You can assign a custom image to the series that will display when learners view the folder when they browse the library.

Watch: Create a Custom Series

To create a series

1. Click Content > Library on the navigation bar.

   The Library page displays.

2. In the Browse Catalog pane, browse to or search for the folder where you want to create the series folder.
3. Move your mouse over the folder title, and click the Edit Contents link.

   Note: The Edit Contents link only appears beside folders whose contents can be modified.

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

   The New folder dialog box displays.

5. Fill in the desired fields:
   • Default Language: The default language of the folder.
   • Name: (Required) The name of the folder in the selected default language. You can enter a maximum of 255 characters. All printable characters, including double-byte characters, are accepted.

     If a learner is entitled to content in the folder, the learner sees the folder represented as a category in the Library. If the learner's content language (specified in his profile) does not match any of the folder's alternate languages, this name is shown.

   • Alternate Languages: If your site is configured to support it, you can specify localized folder names.
   1. In the Alternate Languages section, click Add.

      The Add Languages dialog box displays.

   2. In Language, select the desired language.
   3. In Name, enter the text (in the selected language) that you want to display in the user interface.
   4. Click OK and Add Another to specify another label, or click OK to save the label.
6. Select the Series radio button.
7. Select one of the following:
   • Use standard image: Uses a standard image provided by Skillsoft.
   • Use custom image: Click Add, click Browse to locate a custom image to display to your learners when viewing the custom series folder, and then click Upload.

     Note: Image file size is limited to 5 MB and must be .gif, .png., or .jpg formats.

8. Click Save. The series folder is created and is marked with the folder icon. You can now populate it with stock and/or custom assets as needed. For more information, see Copy Assets into Other Folders.
9. Click Exit.
