A library is a collection of one or more courses. A library is the unit to which users/companies purchase access to courses. The title and description assigned here are seen by the end-user (if not overriden by the company). The SKU is used for RETAIL companies and is the identifier for handling the basket/checkout process. These must be unique. The 'Product Code' is used for reporting purposes and is a way to group together like libraries.
Library is a vehicle for creating special bundles of different courses.
The 'Exp. Days' is the amount of days that the user has to complete the course when they first start it. This can be overriden when the course is purchased by the company. The 'Unit Price' is the recommended price for this library, and is used if the company does not override it. The 'Discount' is the lookup table that is used to calculate the recommended bulk quantity price in the 'Sales Order'.
The 'NSC Licensed' is a flag to determine if this library is eligible for a revenue split with NSC. If enabled, then there a number of options available depending on who originates the sale. The royalty can be determined on a fixed amount per unit, or a sliding percentage dependent on the quantity. This is for Retail and 'Sales Order' sales as a recommended royalty amount. This value can be overriden at the time of sale, but it is stored independent of the sales value, for easy analysis in reporting.
Courses are selected to be part of this library, by simply selecting them. A single purchase or token registration, unlocks all the courses for this user to see. They do not see libraries in their student console, but a list of courses. If there are multiple courses associated with this library, you can determine if the order of execution has to be in the order to which they appear in the library. This is particularly useful if the courses are actually modules and have to be passed before the student/user can start the next one.
If a user has purchased a library and then started it, they are now fixed to that set of courses, even if an administrator changes the courses in the library. The title of the courses will still persist though.
