• Description (mandatory field): A short sentence describing the playlist.

• Cost: The total cost of the playlist.

• Currency: The currency in which the cost of the path is denominated.

• Media type: Drop-down list in which the administrator can define the type of media contained in the playlist. This will later function as a visual indicator for the learner.

• Topic: Selection of a subject from a predefined list.

• Trainer: Selection of a trainer user from the playlist.
