1. Catalog branding

From the app configuration, you can customize the catalog title, logo and announcement.

2. Filtering courses

The catalog offers two types of filtering. The first type filters courses according to the activity of the logged-in user:

  • All courses: displays all the courses, which the user has the right to attend
  • Following: list of all the courses that the attendee has started
  • Assigned: list of assigned courses
  • Favorites: displays the courses bookmarked by the user
  • Edit courses: list of courses where the user is a creator or a contributor

You can access the space catalog from the space sidebar menu under Courses. When a course catalog is viewed within a space context, only courses created within that space will be displayed. 

Under Edit courses, you can enable the draft toggle to display only courses' drafts.

The second type of filtering is through the below list:

  • Difficulty levels: All levels is the default value of this filter
  • Categories
  • Labels
  • Contributors
  • Search input
  • Space name
  • Language: Available when multi-language is enabled

You can choose which filters to show or hide on the course catalog. Hidden filters are by default not applied to the course list except for the sort type.

The sorting criteria are:

  • Order: ascending or descending 
  • Name: sort the courses in alphabetical order by their titles
  • Popularity: popularity depends on the number of attendees
  • Publication date: date of publication of the course. If a course is unpublished and then republished, the last publication date is taken into account
  • Modification date: date of the last modification of the course
  • Rating: displays the courses according to their ratings

The course number indication on the left side changes depending on the filters used.

The course list can be reloaded using the Refresh button.

The reset button returns the catalog filters to their default values.

You can combine filters using the following rules:

  • Combine multiple variables of the same filter: Every course containing at least one of these variables will be displayed in the course list
  • Combine multiple filters: Only courses containing all chosen filters will be displayed in the course list
