Search and filter in lists

The same search bar appears in most lists in Omniscol (classrooms, teachers, classes, subjects, resources, students…): it combines a text search and, wherever a numeric value exists, a numeric condition. On classrooms, this condition applies to the capacity — the most complete use, and the one detailed here. You will find this bar in the Classrooms tab of the Dashboard as well as in the classroom selector of a lesson, when you assign or change a classroom in the timetable (Assign a classroom).

Text search

Text search works on all these lists. On classrooms, it covers the classroom name, the site, the building, the specialisation or the tags entered in Omniscol; on other lists, the displayed fields (name, code, etc.).

Examples:

• nord displays the classrooms whose information contains nord.
• laboratoire chimie displays the classrooms that match both terms.
• amphi, gymnase displays the classrooms matching amphi or gymnase.

Capacity filter (classrooms)

On classroom lists, the numeric comparators filter on the classroom capacity:

• >50: capacity strictly greater than 50;
• >=50: capacity of at least 50;
• <25: capacity strictly less than 25;
• <=100: capacity of at most 100;
• =30: capacity exactly equal to 30;
• 50-100: capacity between 50 and 100;
• 50-: capacity equal to or greater than 50;
• -25: capacity equal to or less than 25.

Useful combinations

Spaces add criteria that must all be met. Commas separate alternatives.

• >50 site nord: classrooms with more than 50 seats linked to the north site.
• <=30 laboratoire: small laboratory-type classrooms.
• amphi, >100: classrooms containing amphi or classrooms with more than 100 seats.
• bâtiment A informatique: classrooms linked to building A and to computing.

Why keep classroom data complete

Filters become more precise when sites, buildings, specialisations and tags are kept up to date. This information improves searches in the timetable, classroom statistics and building occupancy analyses.
