The List/Modify Courses page contains a search function at the top of the page. Administrators can search using different variables selected from the search tabs. The following search tabs are available on the page:
· Search: The search parameters on this tab can be used separately or in tandem to further narrow the list generated. To use this tab: Click the Course ID, Instructor, or Title/Description option. Enter a value in the field. Then click the All Courses, Month, or Day option to define the list based on when the courses where created. The search function will create a list of courses with that value created in the time selected.
· A-Z, 0-9: Click the letter or number that represents the first character of a Course ID. A list of all courses with an ID that begins with that character will appear.
· List All: Click List All to view all the courses on the system.

Note: Changes to the course settings for courses available to users should be done with care. Disabling or changing a setting can significantly alter a course—in some cases, resulting in the loss of some content.
