As a Site Administrator you can enable filters, so that they can be applied to the content on your site.
To enable a filter, follow these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Plugins > Filters > Manage filters .
- Choose On from the Active? dropdown menu for any filters you want to use.
By choosing On you will enable to filter to be applied across the site. You can instead choose Off, but available, meaning the filter is not available across the site, but can be enabled at the course or activity level (Totara Learn) by a Site Administrator or Editing Trainer.
