You can use the filters to display the objects by category.

  • My Assets: Assets are (specially created) individual content objects for trainings.
  • Standard Assets: standard assets are supplied objects for functions that are often needed in the creation of training.
  • Modules: Modules are supplied objects that can be used to extend Trainings with various functionalities (e.g. context-sensitive display of information, storytelling, logical switches, etc.).
You can use the search bar to further filter the list: Only those objects are displayed that contain the entered character string in the title or description.
