Understanding Catalog Search

Users can use the Find Learning (LM_FIND_LEARNING) component to search the catalog for classes, courses, and programs that meet their selection criteria. By selecting a class or program, users can see a detailed description.

Enterprise Learning Management provides two options for searching the catalog:

Basic search, for searching by keywords.
Advanced search, for filtering classes and programs using multiple selection criteria.

For basic searches, users can search by keyword using the Search by Keyword field. For advanced searches, they can search on a number of different criteria. When a user performs an advanced search, the system looks for learning that meets all of the selection criteria.

Users can select one of the two search options as their default search option on the Learner Preferences Page.
