When using enhanced filters, keep in mind the following about using multiple of each type of filter:
- Assignment Group – Additive filters. You will see EVERY assignment that is in ANY of the selected assignment groups.
- Module – Additive filters. You will see EVERY assignment that is in ANY of the selected modules.
- Section – Only the first filter of this type will show results. Adding a second section filter will not further filter or broaden results.
- Student Group – Only the first filter of this type will show results. Adding a second student group filter will not further filter or broaden results.
- Submissions – Additive filters. You can choose to see results with submissions and/or results with ungraded submissions (which all show with submissions anyways).
- Assignment Group & Module – Restrictive filters. You will ONLY see assignments that are in BOTH a selected module and a selected assignment group.
