In MLS, you can search for specific learning tasks – whether you need something quickly or want to set up your own filters. Find out how to do this here! 👇

⚡ Quick filter – for turbo access

Whether you are searching for a learning task in the task pool, assigned tasks or drafts, the quick filter will help you immediately.

You can filter directly by:

  • 🆔 Task ID

  • 📦 Task package

  • 📝 Task name

  • 👤 Creator

Simply type in your search terms and you're ready to go!

🔎 Additional filter options Task pool & drafts

If you want to search more specifically, there are other filters available in addition to the quick filter:

🏷️ Task title

👨‍💻 Task creator

📁 Task package (only available in the task pool!)

🧠 Tags (keywords) – e.g. ‘turning’, ‘CNC milling’, etc.

You can combine these filters as you wish to find exactly what you need. For tags, you can also choose whether they are linked by ‘and’ or ‘or’.

You can also choose how the learning tasks should be sorted:

You can also view the learning tasks in list view, depending on which you prefer.

Important: If you have selected a task package as a filter in the task pool, the filter will remain in place even if you select ‘assigned tasks’ or “drafts”. However, the ‘task package’ filter is not available on these tabs. So if you cannot find tasks in drafts, check whether you have filtered by a task package.

🔎 Additional filter options ‘assigned tasks’

All tasks that you or your colleagues have assigned to your learners can be found via this tab.

The following filters are available:

🧑‍💻 Individual/group work

📌 Phases

👤 User/group (e.g. only active users, all users or my groups)

🧑‍🎓 Users

👥 Groups (e.g. Mechatronics Engineers 2025)

📚 Learning tasks

🗓️ Time period (from - to)

🧑‍💼 Referrer

You can sort this view by:

You can also choose from the following options for displaying the overview:

  • as tiles

  • as a list

  • as a table

🛠️ Create your own filters – completely customisable

All learning tasks assigned to you and your colleagues will always be displayed if you do not select a filter.

We therefore recommend that you create your own filters, essentially as your favourites. 🌟 This can be done easily with just a few clicks.

1️⃣ Select the learning tasks tab

First, choose whether you want to create a filter for

  • task pool / drafts or

  • assigned tasks.

Since different filter criteria are offered in each case, you also have different options when creating your own filters.

As a learning guide, you will mainly be working with assigned tasks. Therefore, you should definitely create your own filter for this purpose.

2️⃣ Create your filter

After selecting ‘Assigned tasks’ or learning tasks under Task Management, click on ‘My filters’.

Select ‘Add filter’ there:

Give your filter a name. The ‘no default filter’ setting determines whether the filter is always automatically active or not. If you want the filter to always be active, select the appropriate option.

3️⃣ Selecting filter criteria

Specify which filter criteria your filter should include. Are there specific tasks? Is it a specific group of learners? Enter these and click Save.

In this example, you will always see all assigned tasks that contain ‘Test’ and if your trainees are in the group ‘Mechatronics Engineers 2025 Group 1’.

Important: If you want to remove filters, you must delete them directly in the filter fields.

Do not (!) press the x symbol next to Saved Filters – this will delete the filter you have created.


Tip: You can create a second filter – e.g. ‘All filters empty’. As the name suggests, this is not actually a filter, as you do not specify any criteria in this case. This allows you to reset all filter fields to zero, so to speak. 💡


🔧 Customise or delete your own filters

You can, of course, delete or adjust ‘My filters’ again.


🗑️ Delete your own filters

If you want to delete your own filters, simply click on the ‘x’ under ‘Saved filters’.

✂️ Customise your own filters

You can customise your created filters via ‘Edit filters’.

✅ Conclusion

With the filter functions in MLS, you can find the right learning tasks in a flash – whether you're looking for something spontaneously or working regularly with fixed criteria. Try it out and make your life easier! 🚀
