Administration of the Local Repository

Use

The local repository is the folder structure on your local hard drive or on a server where all locally created objects ( learning nets , learning objects and instructional elements ) are stored.

The local repository is subdivided into the following folder types:

  • Object folder

    The object folder is automatically generated for each reusable object created in the local repository (learning net, learning object, and media object as reusable object). An object folder is created for each object.

  • Storage folder

    The storage folder offers you the option of storing objects you have created according to specific criteria defined by you.

    Caution Caution

    You cannot change the storage folder once it has been created, so you should create it with great care. It is also used for the objects checked in to the master repository.
