Java-Free and Java-Dependent Content

If your site supports Java-free content, SkillPort Administrator uses icons to differentiate Java-dependent content from Java-free content (for example, and ). Admins can use this functionality to make decisions about whether or not to assign Java-dependent content to learners. This configuration can be applied at the Site or Advanced Group level.

Content Icons

Java-dependent content icons are visible on the following Skillport Administrator pages:

• Users & Groups
  • User Management (Catalog Assignment, Learning Plan Assignment, Enrollments and Waivers)
  • Enrollment & Waivers
• Content
  • Library
  • Learning Programs
  • Credentials
  • Keywords > Link Keyword
• Reports
• License Manager
• Configuration > Completion Criteria

Availability to Learners

Depending on Java-free configuration settings, Java-dependent content is available to learners as follows:

• All Java-dependent content is hidden when learners browse the library and search for content. Exception: Java-dependent content has already been assigned to the learner.

  Note: To allow learners to complete previously-assigned or accessed content, pre-existing assignments, assets with learner transcript entries, learning program assignments, and bookmarks are not affected by the Java-Free configuration settings.

• Job Aids and SkillBriefs associated with Java-dependent content are still available in the Library and via Search, even when the content itself is not available.
• Java-dependent content is visible to Admins, and may still be assigned and included in a Learning Program.
• If Java content is hidden, learners can still view previously-accessed Java-dependent content in their learning plan and learner transcript.
• If Java-dependent content is republished and Skillport determines that the content is no longer Java-dependent, the content automatically displays to learners.
