Use Filters on the Learning Search Screen

Use the search filter on the left pane to search for courses and learning paths based on your search criteria.

Contents

The filters are multi-select check boxes. When you select a main category filter, it will expand to display the sub filters for that category. So make sure to review and select the relevant sub filters to achieve optimal search results.

Use the two floating buttons, Update Results and Clear, to quickly clear out search selections or refresh the search results table.

Field	Description
Search	In the Search field at the top of the Filter pane, enter keywords to describe the courses and learning paths you are looking for (for example, Excel if you are looking for a course on Microsoft Excel, or Internet Security if you are looking for a course or learning path on that subject). The search looks at the name and description of courses and learning paths to find the keywords. If you use multiple keywords in the search filter, the search functionality considers each word as a separate filter requirement. As a result, it displays only learning paths and courses where all the keywords are present (either in the item title or description, or both).
Type	Use this filter to select courses or learning paths. Courses: Use this filter to expand the choices to display Instructor-led, E-Learning, and Read and Sign. Learning Paths: Use this filter to display the relevant learning paths and their associated courses. If this check box is not selected, the search results will display only learning paths containing the courses matching your criteria. Learning Paths with names or descriptions that match your filter are excluded.
Class Start Date	Use this filter to select or highlight dates and view what courses have classes on those dates. Date From: Select the first date that you would be available to begin the course. Date To: Select the final date that you would be available to begin the course.
Location	Select the location where you want to attend the course. This criterion is only applied when searching for Learning Paths and Instructor-Led courses.
Company	If your organization is divided into companies, you can search for a course based on the company with which it is associated. If your organization is divided into companies, you can search for a course based on the Company with which it is associated. When you select a primary category Company filter, choose one or more sub-filters for that Company to narrow down the results further. Otherwise, the search action will include that primary category Company and all its child sub-filters. You have the option to select only child sub-filters and exclude the parent filter. However, opting for that granular level will limit the scope of your search results. If you want to broaden the scope, make sure that if you select a child sub filter, you must also select the parent filter.
Job Family	Select from the multi-select list to display courses associated with a specific job family or families (for example, Administrative or Sales).
Job Role	Select from the multi-select list to display courses associated with a specific job role or roles (for example, Manager or Vice President).

Instructors	Select the instructor that you want to lead the course.
Skills Gained	When you select a Skill Category, a set of specific child skills are also automatically selected. For example, if you select Communication, this will also select the child skills, Coordinating Meetings and Planning Company Events. Select or unselect a child skill to narrow down your filter.
Competencies Gained	When you select a Competency Type, a set of child competencies are also selected. For example, if you select Job Competencies, this will also select Adaptability/Flexibility and Follow-Up. Select or unselect a competency from this list to narrow down your filter.
