Search Training

Users can enter words relating to the following training attributes into the search box to receive relevant training results that are sorted by relevance:

  • Title
  • Keywords
  • Description

To search for training in the Cornerstone Learn app:

  1. Enter a search term or phrase into the search box and press the Enter key on your phone keyboard. You will be redirected to the Learning Search page. You can also press the Enter key without entering search terms, which navigates you to the Learning Search page with all available results displayed. A maximum of 50 search results can be returned.
  2. Peruse the results which display on the Learning Search page and use the available filters to receive more specific training results, if necessary. Search results are sorted by relevance, and text queries are matched with content title, descriptions, and keywords.

Each training result displays with a thumbnail image, the training type, the title of the training, and the duration, if applicable. If the training is on the user's transcript, the status of the training item displays under the training title. Tap a training result to access the Training Details page for the training.

If the training is already on the user's transcript, and the training is an online course, material, or video, a play icon displays over the training's thumbnail image, and tapping the training thumbnail image launches the training. Training that is on the user's transcript can also be launched by tapping the Play icon over the training's thumbnail image or by navigating to the Training Details page for the item. The Training Details page displays information about the training, such as its title, duration, price, a Show Description link, and more.
