What This Article Helps With

This article explains how to use the Interactive Filter Panel to narrow search results in both Global Search and Library Search in Pinnacle Series. It applies to users, Learning Managers, and Content Managers.

Using the Interactive Filter Panel in Global Search

  1. Enter a keyword or phrase in the Global Search bar in the top-right corner of the homepage. For an exact match, enclose the phrase in quotation marks, for example "Inventor visibility settings"; place a + directly before a word to emphasize it, or a - directly before a word to exclude it.
  2. Open the filter panel on the left side of the screen.
  3. Filter by Content Type, such as Video, Workflow, or Learning Path.
  4. Select a specific publisher or version, such as Inventor 2025, within the Topics/Sub-topics filter.
  5. Filter by Difficulty to match your skill level: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced.
  6. Filter by Duration to choose shorter or more detailed resources.
  7. Use the keyword search to narrow results further.
  8. Confirm results update automatically as you change filters, with the most relevant content listed first.

Using the Interactive Filter Panel in Library Search

  1. Go to the Library you want to search, for example the Autodesk Construction Cloud Library.
  2. Filter by topic or subtopic.
  3. Filter by content type, such as Workflow or Checklist.
  4. Combine filters, such as content type and difficulty, for more precise results.
  5. Confirm results update automatically as you modify filters.

Differences Between Global Search and Library Search Filtering

  • Global Search: Starts from the Global Search bar on the homepage and supports keyword operators (quotation marks, +, -). Confirmed filters include Content Type, Publisher or Version (within Topics/Sub-topics), Difficulty, Duration, and keyword search.
  • Library Search: Confirmed filters are Topic or Subtopic and Content Type, which can be combined (for example, Content Type and Difficulty together). Available documentation doesn't confirm whether Duration or Publisher/Version filters are available in Library Search specifically.

Helpful Tips

  • The Interactive Filter Panel works the same way in Global Search and Library Search, and results update in real time as you adjust filters.

Common Questions

Can I filter Library Search results by duration or publisher/version?

Available documentation doesn't confirm this. Confirmed Library Search filters are Topic/Subtopic and Content Type, which can be combined with Difficulty.
