Subject - Add/Edit

Subjects can be added or edited on the Subject Management page. Subjects can only be deleted if they are not yet associated to a learning object (LO).

Note: For portals with multiple languages, all subjects that are not translated into a user's display language are visible to the user in the subject's default language. It is a recommended best practice to create each subject in one default language, and then translate the subject into the other available languages in your portal. This ensures that a subject available in a user's display language appears for the user in their language.

To access the Subject Management page, go to Admin > Tools > Learning > Catalog Management > Subjects.
