This chapter provides a brief overview of the repository management functions available to content managers in BELTS.
Searching the repository is a good way to find content to match your specific needs, without having to browse through pages of learning objects. This function provides you with a powerful search facility to find the learning objects you are interested in.
Procedure 5.1. Search Repository
Within the BELTS window, select Search Repository from the menu.
The Repository Search screen is displayed.
Enter a phrase in the Quicksearch field. This function searches for the phrase in the topic and description fields of the learning object.
Select a Learning Area if you wish to restrict your results to learning objects in a particular learning area (or multiple learning areas).
Select a Year Level if you wish to restrict your results to learning objects in a particular year level (or a range of year levels).
Type in all or part of a Curriculum Organiser Outcome Code to restrict your results to learning objects that match a particular outcome.
Select the number of Results per page to specify how many results you would like displayed on each page of output once the search is performed.
Press the Search button to actually perform the requested search.
The results of the search are displayed on the Repository Search Results screen.

You can select multiple learning areas and year levels by holding down the control key (or apple key) and clicking on the items. Clicking on the items in this way acts as a toggle. Clicking again on an item will deselect it. | |

Select the Browse Repository option to perform the Browse Repository function.
Select the Search Help option to get help on searching the repository (see Advanced Search Tips).
The Repository Search Results screen is displayed after the Search Repository function is performed. It contains a list of learning objects available in the Repository that match the search criteria. The learning objects are sorted in alphabetic order by title.
From this point, the following actions may be performed:
Select the Browse Repository option to perform the Browse Repository function.
Select the Search Help option to get help on searching the repository (see Advanced Search Tips).
Perform the Learning Object Download function for one or more learning objects.
