2.3.3 Finding an Existing Course

 
The find a specific course, or a set of similar courses, the “Filter by” feature can be very helpful. This is done at the top of the Course Window where it reads "Filter by:". This is shown at the top of Figure 2.3.3-1 below. To begin filtering the list of courses, first adjust the drop down menu to select what course information you want to filter. To filter through all the course information, select “All” on this drop down menu.

Now you are ready to begin typing text into the “Filter by” text box. This is a real time filtering feature so that after each letter that is typed, the list of courses will immediately adjust to filter only this given parameters. An example of this can be seen below in Figure 2.3.3-2 where the list of courses has been filtered to only show the courses containing the text "CPE 1". To change the filter, simply backspace and retype in the text field. To go back to the complete list of classes, just delete all the text in the “Filter by” text field.

 

Organizing or sorting the list of courses (either before or after filtering the list) can also be very helpful in finding a certain class, or type of class. The course list can be sorted by any of the sections at the top of the course list. To sort a list of courses by a certain section, simple click once on the section you would like to sort, and this course list will re-arrange and be organized under that header. For example, in Figure 2.3.3-2 there is a list of course that has been first filtered, and then sorted by the Description of the course.

The blue colored bar underneath the Description heading on the course list shows that the course is being organized by the Course Description. The default way to organize the course list is by the Title of the course. To return to this view, simply click where it says "Title" and the course list will once again re-arrange.
