Learning Search - Filter Configuration (Early Adopter)

Prior to this enhancement, the administrators did not have the option to disable various filters in the Learning Search page. As a result, the users were able to view filters which were rarely used in their portals.

With this enhancement, administrators can enable the filters which are used in their portals or divisions and disable those filters which are rarely used.

To access Learning Search, go to LEARNING > LEARNER HOME.

The administrators can now configure the Learning Search filters by visiting Learning Search Preferences. To access Learning Search Preferences, go to ADMIN > TOOLS > LEARNING > LEARNING PREFERENCES > LEARNING SEARCH PREFERENCES.

How Does this Enhancement Benefit My Organization?

The ability to enable or disable filters gives the administrators greater customization capabilities in Learning Search page.

Considerations

  • All filters, except Skills (Capabilities), continue to be enabled by default. If the portal has already disabled Modality, the system will continue to respect that configuration.
  • Customers cannot disable all filters at the same time. At least one filter must be enabled.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Before this release, only the Modality filter had the ability to be enabled or disabled based on the administrators wishes. After this release, the following filters can be enabled or disabled: Duration, Types, Subjects, Rating, Provider, Language, Mobile Enabled, and Skills (Capabilities).

When a filter is disabled, any link to the search page with that filter already applied will no longer display the filter and the filter will not be applied.

Implementation

This enhancement is automatically enabled for all organizations.
