Where do I get Asset IDs from?

It is possible to add most Skillsoft asset types including:

• Courses, example ids: COMM0606, en_US_41527_ng
  
• Books24x7 Assets including LDC videos, example ids: 18279
  
• Skillsoft Knowledge Center, example id: kc_vb_a02_kc_enus
  
• Skillsoft Learning Programme, example id: lp_mh0001
  
• SkillBrief/JobAid, example id: COMM0606_jco0606a

Help on retrieving these asset ids is below:

• Courses
• Books
• KnowledgeCenters
• Learning Programmes

There are also special ids that can be used:

• _addon_books_001 - This id if Books24x7 is available will log the user into the Books24x7 home page. This can be used as well as the direct links to individual Books

• _addon_snl_001 - This id will log the user into a "captive" interface on the Skillport platform from where they can use the Skillport Search & Learn interface to find and launch assets. NOTE: This should only be used when using Track to OLSA mode

• sso - This id will log the user into the Skillport platform from where they can use all Skillport functions. NOTE: This is only supported when using Track to OLSA mode
