Class Resource Attributes

Class Resource Attributes capture the general properties applicable to general class resources.  For example, projectors may have different input options, such as VGA, DVI-D and HDMI. The input types available on each projector can be specified with a class resource attribute.

To manage class resource attributes, your user role must have unrestricted access to the Class Resource Manager feature.

Create a Class Resource Attribute

  1. Go to Manage Center > Learning > Class Resource Manager > Class Resource Attributes.
  2. Click + Create Class Resource Attribute.
  3. In the Attribute Code field, enter a unique code for the attribute.
  4. In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the attribute.  For multi-language systems you can enter the label key that will be used to look up the localized name in the user's preferred language.
  5. In the Type field, select the type of data represented by the attribute.  Attributes can be any of the following data types, which determine what type of values can be assigned to them:
  • Free text (a single line of text up to 255 characters)
  • Text area (multiple lines of text)
  • Drop-down (select the value from a list).  Note: You will need to save the attribute before you can add values to the drop-down list. Please see Configure the Attribute Drop-Down Values below for additional information.
  • Numeric (In PeopleFluent Learning versions up to and including 21.04, fractional numbers less than 1 must start with a zero; for example, 0.75, not .75). Select the Sum total when printing or reporting checkbox (located below the Type field) if you want to show the sum of values.
  • Check box
  • Date (a calendar tool to select a date)
  1. Configure the display areas settings.  Select one or more check boxes to specify where the attribute is shown in the LMS.
  • Class Resource Filter - enables you to filter the list of class resources by the attribute in the Class Resources page.
  • Class Resource Column - adds a column to the Class Resource page so that you can see at-a-glance the attribute's value for each resource.
  • Summary Overlays - accessed in the Resource Planner, Catalog Editor and Class Resource selector.
  • Catalog Editor -  recommended class resources.
  1. Click Save. 

Attributes can be edited, but there are restrictions on changing an attribute's type. For additional information, please see Allowed Transitions Between Dynamic Attribute Types.

Configure Attribute Drop-Down Values

If you selected Drop-down in step 5 above, configure drop-down values.

  1. Scroll down the page and locate the Class Resource Attribute Values section.
  2. Click Add New Option.
  3. Configure the value.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 to include additional values.
  5. Click Save.

Delete a Class Resource Attribute

  • To delete a single attribute, locate the appropriate attribute on the Class Resource Attributes page. Click the action menu and select Delete.
  • To delete multiple attributes, click the checkboxes for the appropriate attributes on the Class Resource Attributes page. In the Bulk Action field, select Delete.

Class resource attributes that are being used in a course can't be deleted.
