Catalog administrators can use course catalogs to organize courses, grouping related content into catalogs and sub-catalogs. Learners can browse catalogs or search them to find courses. There are two types of catalog: those native to the LMS, and Web Catalogs for integration with third-party suppliers such as Skillsoft.
Like folders in a computer's file system, you can create a hierarchical structure of catalogs and sub-catalogs. For example, you could have a catalog for accountancy training with sub-catalogs to group courses for each level of diploma. Alternatively, you could set up a catalog structure to suit the type of enrollment allowed by courses, such as self-enrollable, those that require approval, and those that only allow supervisors to enroll other users.
To specify which users can see each catalog, you configure permissions for them. You can set permissions for each catalog individually, if required, or inherit permissions from their parent catalog. You can combine those two sets of permissions to determine who can see a specific sub-catalog. You can also allow users to access catalogs without logging in.
Learners can search for courses in catalogs or browse for courses using the Catalog Browser. You can configure how the Catalog Browser displays courses in each catalog independently.
To configure course catalogs, your user role must have unrestricted access to the Catalog Manager Features in System Roles (Manage Features > Catalog Manager Features).
To configure course catalogs, go to Manage Center > Learning > Catalog List Maintenance.
