Using Filters and the Search Bar to Find Items, Tests, and Standards

Each content tab includes a filter panel and search bar that helps you find the items, tests, or standards you want to work with. You may be required to apply filters first in order to display the items or tests in the table of the content tab. The available filter options are different for each content type, but they are similar to use.

• To filter the table content, select options from the filter panel on the left and click Apply. The table updates to display results that match the filter criteria you selected.
  • If the filter panel is collapsed, click to expand it.
  • To remove filters, click Clear Filters in this panel.
• You can use the following filter options on every content tab:
  • Favorites: You can click next to any item, test, or standard on the content tabs to save it as a favorite. Then you can mark the Favorites checkbox filter to show only the content that you have favorited.
  • Labels: You can create custom labels to organize your items, tests, and standards. Then you can expand the Labels menu and mark the available checkboxes to view only the content associated with a particular label.
• You can use the following filter options on the Items and Tests tabs only:
  • Date Range: You can expand the Date Range menu and mark a checkbox to view only the items or tests that were created, edited, or added to a shared library in the selected time period. You can also mark the Custom checkbox and then enter dates in the From and To fields to use a custom time period.
    • If you click the View Items I Created, View Items Shared with Me, or View Tests I Created quick link on the Dashboard, this filter will automatically be set to the Last 30 Days option.
  • Libraries: You can expand the Libraries menu and mark the available checkboxes to view only the content in a shared library (such as ClearSight Interim), content you created or content other users shared with you. Shared libraries include premade items or tests that anyone in your district can use for their students.
    • If you click the View Items I Created quick link on the Dashboard, this filter will automatically be set to the Items I Created option.
    • If you click the View Items Shared With Me quick link on the Dashboard, this filter will automatically be set to the Items Shared With Me option.
    • If you click the View Shared Libraries quick link on the Dashboard, this filter will be expanded but no options will be automatically selected.
    • If you click the View Tests I Created quick link on the Dashboard, this filter will automatically be set to the Tests I Created option.
  • Grades: You can expand the Grades menu and mark the available checkboxes to view only the content associated with a particular grade level.
  • Subjects: You can expand the Subjects menu and mark the available checkboxes to view only the content associated with a particular subject. Items and standards may be associated with subjects directly, while a test’s subject is determined by the items on that test.
  • Standard: To show only content aligned to particular standard, you can enter the ID or label for a standard in the Standard field. Items are aligned to standards directly, while a test’s standards are determined by the items on that test.
    • When you click the Find Items by Standard link on the Dashboard, the Items tab opens with the focus set to this field, so you can easily find items by their aligned standards.
    • When you click the Find Tests by Standard link on the Dashboard, the Tests tab opens with the focus set to this field, so you can easily find tests by their aligned standards.
  • Status: You can expand the Status menu and mark the available checkboxes to view only the content with a particular status. All new items and tests have a Draft status by default. Publishing a test changes its status to Published, along with the status of each item on that test. Archiving an item or test changes its status to Archived.
• You can use the following filter options on the Items tab only:
  • Item Type: You can expand the Item Type menu and mark the available checkboxes to view only the items that have a particular item type.
  • Items to Review: You can mark the Items to Review checkbox to show only the items that have been submitted to a shared items library and still need to be approved.
    • When you click the Review Items link on the Dashboard, the Items tab opens with this filter automatically applied, so you can quickly see which items still need to be reviewed.
  • Items with Comments: You can mark the Items with Comments checkbox to show only the items that have one or more comments.
  • Stimulus Associations: You can expand the Stimulus Associations menu and mark the available checkboxes to view only items that are linked to a stimulus or only items that are not linked to any stimulus.

The search bar in the corner of each content tab allows you to search for content in that tab only. In other words, the search bar on the Items tab searches only for items and the search bar on the Tests tab searches only for tests.

• To search for content, enter a term in the search field in the top-right corner of a content tab and click .
  • When you apply filters before searching for content, the search bar will search within the filtered results only. If Authoring cannot locate the item or test you are looking for, you may need to adjust the filters and try again.
  • This search bar is most appropriate when searching for words that appear in the name, text, or keyword of an item or test, such as Shakespeare. If you need to search for content aligned to a particular standard, you should use the Standard search field that appears in the filter panel.
