Catalog display

Catalog filters
Catalog filters help students find courses based on specific criteria. For example, using "difficulty" as a filter might allow students to narrow down the available courses based on their difficulty level, such as beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Another example might be "# of credit hours," which would allow students to find courses that meet their specific hourly continuing education requirements.
Follow the steps below to configure the platform's catalog filters:
- Click the Create Filter button.
- Double-click the field that says "New Filter" to rename it. This should be a broad category like the examples above.
- Double-click the field labeled "Criteria" to rename it. The renamed field should contain a specific characteristic, such as a difficulty level or number of credit hours.
- Click the + button to the right of the filter to add more criteria. Click the + button to the right of the criteria to add sub-criteria.
- Once the catalog filters have been configured for the platform, you can begin adding courses to each filter. To do this, navigate to a course and select Settings from the course navigation. Then, click the Catalog Listing tab. Select the filters from Catalog Filter Criteria that correspond to the course.
- When finished, click Save. Repeat this process for each course.
