Match days exactly
This option forces the "Days" filter to search ONLY for the days checked, instead of ANY of the days checked.
For example, if you checked 'M' and 'W' and did not check 'Match days exactly', you would get all classes that have an 'M' or a 'W' in their meeting days.
This would include entries like 'MTWThF', 'MW', 'M', and 'W'.
However, if you DID check the 'Match days exactly' box, you would get classes that ONLY meet on Monday and Wednesday.
This would be the entry 'MW' only.

Definitions of Class Type

| ITV |
Interactive Television: Classrooms at two or three different campuses are linked by video cameras and microphones. Instructor teaches from one location. |

Advanced Filtering Options
Advanced filtering has changed significantly since the previous version of the planner.
It now uses the LINQ
where clause syntax provided in ASP.NET 3.5+. Using this via URL parameter, you can specify exactly which classes you want to show.
The easiest way to do this is by using the custom filter builder provided
here, although any valid where clause will suffice. If you don't use the filter builder and are specifying a custom filter manually, you will have to
URL Encode the filter.
Here are some examples:
Classes that have the letter 'B' in the Branch location and the ClassID starts with the number 1 and is a 5 credit class-
http://apps.olympic.edu/classschedule/default.aspx/Default.aspx?
customfilter=Branch.Contains(%22B%22)%26%26ClassID.StartsWith(%221%22)%26%26Credits%3d%3d%225%22
Classes with B014 as the YRQ (Spring 2011) and don't have "Wait" in the Seats Left (this would essentially exclude classes with a wait list)-
...
customfilter=YRQ%3d%3d%22B014%22%26%26!SeatsLeft.Contains(%22Wait%22)
Classes with a course ID containing "ACCT" but not containing "&" (this is essentially all Accounting classes that don't follow the States
CCN model) -
...customfilter=CourseID.Contains(%22ACCT%22)%26%26!CourseID.Contains(%22%26%22)
As a final note, it is also possible to view non-published classes if desired using a URL parameter "ShowNonPublished=1" as exampled:
http://apps.olympic.edu/classschedule/Default.aspx?ShowNonPublished=1
You can also specify a custom page size using the URL parameter "PageSize" as exampled:
http://apps.olympic.edu/classschedule/Default.aspx?PageSize=77
