A vCard is a virtual business card. The vCard has become a standard format for storing information about individuals or corporations and can contain a person’s name, organization, and miscellaneous identifying information. Some fields in some views accept vCard data.

Note Importing vCard data into a field clears any existing data in the field.

Importing metadata from a file

You can import metadata from an XML file, including a file created by exporting metadata from another resource.

Note Importing metadata clears all existing metadata, including metadata not visible in the current view.

The easiest way to add metadata to a resource is to enter it manually into Learning Environment.

Note If you want to use a template, import metadata, or copy metadata from another resource, do so before manually entering data. Any data you enter manually is erased when you apply existing metadata from another source.

You can create a content topic using a file directly from Manage Files. In Manage Files, a link icon displays beside files in use as content topics.

Manage Files enables you to select and upload files from your computer to Learning Environment. You can upload most file types, but ensure that users have the appropriate software to view these files.

Though you can upload most file types to a content directory in Manage Files, only files with specific extensions can be used as content topics. For a list of unsupported file types and extensions, see Restricted file extensions.
