Filters can be fixed and applied with default values
Page Overview
[Hide]This FR builds on the vision laid out in Category for Huge Amount of Data.
This project depends on / requires that the following list of PR and FR is accepted and implemented
- Pull Request UI Filters (Implementation)
- Pull Request UI Filters
- Filter-Configuration in Categories
- Issue: Support Filters in Manage-Tab of Categories
1 Initial Problem
Some Organisations want to offer a subset of their courses to users. They want to use pre-set filters to ensure no further user interaction is required.
2 Conceptual Summary
As a repository alternative to Course Catalogue it is suggested to be able to offer categories that offer a specific selection of objects (possibly to specific roles) by pre-set filters.
- Filters in category are activated. Filters are set to be fixed and hidden.
- Filter fields are selected and saved.
- Filter values are entered or selected.
- Categories shows only objects complying with the pre-set filter values.

7 Discussion
Killing, Alexander [alex], 16 May 2019: I support the idea in general. The screen workflow is a little bit unclear to me.
Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], 16 MAY 2019 : How do one get on screenshot 1 and 3 ? Screenshot 2 can be combined with request Mass Category filtering lists objects from sub-tree. But how we combine 1 and 3 with other filter requests?
Klees, Richard [rklees], 20 MAY 2019: How will this look to the user? Will she be aware, that the content of the category is filtered?
Tödt, Alexandra [atoedt] The organisation requesting this feature does not want to inform users.
JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 20 MAY 2019: We highly appreciate this feature request and accept it for 6.0 with the following changes:
- We refuse the current suggestion of hiding the filter and prefer to only grey-out it. This would make it more clear what is presented to users on the screen (and probably reduce user support).
- Instead of one setting "Fix filter values and hide filter" we would like to have one setting for applying default filter values and one for greying-out the filter to prevent changes to filter.
8 Implementation
{The maintainer has to give a description of the final implementation and add screenshots if possible.}
