Browse/search for training

Browsing

STEPP provides several ways of locating training descriptions and events. You can access the items in the catalog by clicking the Learn menu and choosing Catalog. The categories in the catalog may contain documents, courses, and other activities.

Searching

You can enter your search criteria in the Search box available on different pages of the application or select multiple options using Advanced search to refine your search.

The following table shows some examples of search criteria and sample results.

Search using...	Example of search text	Search results
A single word	Register	Returns all records that contain the word register in the activity title, activity description or activity code. Does not return records that contain variations of this word, such as registering.
Multiple words	Class List	Returns all records that contain both "class" and "list" in any order or position in the activity title, activity description or activity code. Example: "The resource list for the Finance Fundamentals class". Does not return records that contain only one of these words or variations of the words.
A phrase in quotes	"Class Registration"	Returns all records that contain this exact phrase in the activity title, activity description or activity code. Example: "The Accounting II class registration will be held on January 5".
Single search word with an asterisk wildcard character	class*	Returns all records that contain terms that begin with "class" in the activity title, activity description or activity code such as classroom or classes.
Multiple search words with wildcard characters	class* acc*	Returns all records that contain both the terms that begin with "class" and " acc" in the activity title, activity description or activity code. Example: "Accident Reporting Classes" and "The available classrooms for Accounting".
