Common issues in using Faculty Repository
Issue with video search in Faculty Repository
Search in a category of videos does not show the content assigned to its sub-categories. The user has to select the appropriate level to find the video. For example, if the category shows as follows:
- Arts
- English
- Journalism
And if the user who published the video to the Faculty Repository selected ‘English’, then when searching for the video, the user will not find it if they select ‘Arts’. They will only find it if they select ‘English’. This is a known issue with the Category Search. As a work-around, users are encouraged to select all of the required levels when searching for videos in the Faculty Repository. For example, select both Arts and English in the above example.
