Customizing Offerings Catalog searches The Learning Management System allows you to create a pool of custom fields that can be
applied to course offerings to add more details.
Adding custom fields to the Offerings Catalog
The custom field editor appears when you click Edit at the bottom of a Course Details page.
Although you add a field in the context of a single Course Offering, custom fields are available to
anyone who creates a Course Offering. If you designate a custom field as searchable, it appears in
the Advanced Search page, which is launched from the Offerings Search page. The picture below
shows the Offerings search page with a searchable custom field named "Dress Code."
Removing fields from Offerings Search pages
If you don't want to show all the fields provided on the Offerings Search page, edit
searchCourseCatalogAdvanced.jsp to remove the code for the text and text box that you want
to remove. To remove custom fields from the system, delete them by editing the custom field list
from any Course Details page.
Customizing course management and resource searches Searches in the Course Management and Resources module show fields that are defined in the
Learning Management System database. These fields allow users to perform searches based on
relevant criteria.
