Facets

The left panel of the page enables you to quickly filter your search results by learning type, class location, category, upcoming classes and rating. When you click a facet link, the system displays only the learning associated with the link that you select.

Some facet links are hierarchical, meaning that once you select one, additional links become available that enable you to filter the search results further. For example, if you select the United States Class Location facet link, you can then select Class Location facet links for individual states. Other facet links are not hierarchical and do not make additional, more specific facet links available when you click them.
