You can utilise a filter in a database of resources to refine the type of resources you’re looking for. Filters allow you to find information relevant to a certain area of study, year of publication and more!
Using a filter is simple. Here’s how:
As can be seen below, the bar at the top specifically the blue items are existing activated filters. You can simply tap on these to adjust them. For instance, you could select these “Unit:” filter, unselect “Unit 4” and then you’ll only see “Unit 3” resources.
You can also create custom filters using the “+” option in the menu bar. Once you select the option, you’ll be able to select a property to filter by:
Once you’ve selected a property to filter by, you’ll need to configure the filter by selecting which options to include. For instance, you could select the “author” property to filter by, you can then select “Cambridge” and “Jacaranda” for instance to only see content from those publishers. Here’s what that looks like:
To finalise and activate the filter, simply select the “Done” option in the top left. You’ll then see the filtered out results. You can add as many filters as you like and use them simultaneously to refine the exact resource(s) you’re after.
If you’re done filtering, you can undo all the applied filters and reset the view. To do this, simply select the “Reset” option. See below:
