Organize your item library

A tidy item library makes assessments faster to build and easier to audit. SkillCort organizes items with folders and folder-scoped tags, and a dedicated import modal brings them into your assessments.

Use folders as your top-level structure

Folders are how the library is divided. Group items the way your team searches for them — by role, by skill area, or by source. AI generation also requires a destination folder before it runs, so a clear folder structure keeps generated drafts separate from vetted items from day one.

Understand folder-scoped tags

Tags in SkillCort belong to a folder, not to the whole library. That means the same tag label in different folders is a different tag: "advanced" in your Support folder and "advanced" in your Sales folder are two separate tags, and filtering by one will not surface items tagged with the other.

Plan for this when you organize. If you want a label to behave consistently, apply it within one folder, or accept that cross-folder filtering by that label requires selecting the tag in each folder.

Import items into an assessment

You bring library items into an assessment through the import-from-library modal. It offers folder, tag, and item type filters plus search, so you can narrow a large library down to exactly the items you need before selecting anything.

Selection is built for volume: multi-select individual items, or use "Select all shown" to grab everything matching your current filters. Bulk add preserves the order of your selection and adds up to 100 items at once.

  • Filters: folder, tag, and item type, combined with search.
  • "Select all shown" selects everything matching the current filters.
  • Bulk add: maximum 100 items per add, selection order preserved.

Spot items you have already added

Inside the import modal, items that are already in the assessment show an "In assessment" badge. Use it to avoid duplicates when you return to the library for a second pass, or to confirm at a glance which items from a folder made it into the current assessment.

At a glance

  • Folders are the top-level structure of the item library.
  • Tags are folder-scoped: the same tag label in different folders is a different tag.
  • The import-from-library modal filters by folder, tag, and item type, with search.
  • Multi-select, "Select all shown", and bulk add move up to 100 items at once, order preserved.
  • Items already in the assessment show an "In assessment" badge.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't my tag filter show items I know are tagged?
Tags are folder-scoped. If the items live in a different folder, they carry a different tag even when the label matches. Switch the folder filter and select the tag there.
Can I add more than 100 items to an assessment?
Yes, just not in one action. Bulk add tops out at 100 items per add, so repeat the import for the next batch.
