Find activities

See how to use the CMS menu and filtering options to find activities.

  • Type "/cms" after the platform URL and sign in to your platform.
  • Select 'Activity management' from the left-hand menu.
  • Select 'Overview'.
  • Select the type of activity you wish to edit (eg. offers).
  • Search for an activity using the button to 'filter activities' or by scrolling.
  • Within 'filter activities', use the drop down filters to search activities by the activity type, status and the filter types you set up when creating your platform.
  • You can search by keyword only within a list of activities with the same type. Use the main activity overview, choose a type of activity and then use the search bar to search by keyword.

How our search works:

Activities can be searched by a range of filters (which are set in the CMS), activity types, search terms and location (postcode).

Search results will default to only the most relevant results (matching all of the selected search criteria) but members will see an option to "view more results". This shows results matching any of the selected search criteria.

This table provides some examples:

Search type Initial results (most relevant) Expanded results (all results)
Multiple filters (e.g. 'Falmouth' + 'Dance') Only results tagged with both 'Falmouth' and 'Dance'. Results tagged with either 'Falmouth' or 'Dance'.
Search keyword matching a filter (e.g. "Dance"). Only results tagged with the filter 'Dance'. Results tagged with the filter 'Dance' or those results where the title, description or hidden keyword matches the word 'Dance'.
Search keyword and a filter (e.g. 'Teach' and 'Falmouth'). Only results are tagged with 'Falmouth' and have the keyword "Teach" in the title, description or hidden keyword. Results tagged with either 'Falmouth' or results where the Title, Description or Hidden keyword matches the word "Dance".
Filters and activity type (e.g. 'Volunteering opportunities' and 'Falmouth' and 'Dance'), Only results tagged with both 'Falmouth' and 'Dance' that are 'Volunteering opportunities'. Results tagged with both 'Falmouth' or 'Dance' that are 'Volunteering opportunities'.
Search keyword matching a filter and a postcode e.g. "dance" and "TR1 3AJ" Only results tagged with the filter 'Dance' within 5km of "TR1 3AJ". Results tagged with the filter 'Dance' or those results where the title, description or hidden keyword matches the word "Dance" within 5km of "TR1 3AJ".
