How do I filter posts in Conversations?

Go to the Conversations tool.

Select the Conversations tool from the Tool Menu of your site. 

Filtering with the Tag menu

Once you've tagged a topic, you can use a filter to quickly locate it.

Select the Tag menu.

Choose a tag from the drop down menu.

The topics with the selected tag will display.

Note: The Tag menu displays tags assigned to topics by their authors. Course instructors must configure tags before site participants can add them to topics. If a tag has been added to the course, but it is not currently being used by any topics, it will not appear in the list.

Filtering with the Filter menu

Open the Filter menu.

Select a filter.

Select a filter from the list.

  • Filter: questions: filter for topics that use the question type.
  • Filter: answered questions: filter for topics that use the question type and that have an accepted answer.
  • Filter: discussions: filter for topics that use the discussion type.
  • Filter: discussions with posts: filter for topics that use the discussion type and that have responses.
  • Filter: bookmarked: filter for topics that you have bookmarked.
  • Filter: moderated: filter for topics that are moderated.
  • Filter: unviewed: filter for topics that you have not yet viewed.

Note: The list of filters will only list items if there are posts which meet that criteria. For example, if there are no bookmarked items, you will not see "bookmarked" in the filter list.

The topics with the selected filter will display.
