## Question Index

When you click on the Questions tab you will land on the Question Index page. From this page you can search for questions by typing in a word, and you can apply multiple filters to refine your search.When viewing results, card view will show you the question text and responses along with an option to see more information at the bottom of each card.List view will let you see more questions in a smaller field and get a quick overview of their status, associated groups, assigned curriculum tags, application to exams, and more.

### Search and Filter <a href="#search-and-filter" id="search-and-filter"></a>

Search query can target any visible field. Therefore, if you are showing additional columns via the "Columns" button, search queries will include those additional columns allowing for more granular ability to see only what you want to see.Filter options greatly expanded and now include Label, Date, Type, Author, Exam Usage (allows you to pick a specific exam and see the questions used), Course, Group, Retired, Status, Curriculum Tags, Assessment Type. Filters allow for more than one selection at a time allowing more granular ability to scope the returned question items to be exactly what you need.Each time you pick a category from Filter By (e.g. Question Types) you'll then be able to select your specific filters (e.g. Multiple Choice). One exception to this is the Retired option (it will just show you retired questions or all questions).Currently applied filters are displayed as badges, and can be cleared by selecting the x beside the individual badge, or via the Clear All Filters button.​![](https://files.gitbook.com/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPqjYT9PvGYNZqulOdQ15%2Fuploads%2FPuoALeyraKcLiPBVv7Ag%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=461c6f97-76f4-458c-99e0-96b1905abd55)

When viewing a question its status will be represented with a <img src="https://1986140690-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FayN3HSBiNqeeT0QDZ9TB%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2471fcdc4eb6c0b88c26ae0300c3effee0b7e427%2FScreen%20Shot%202021-04-07%20at%209.47.27%20AM%20(1).png?alt=media" alt="" data-size="line"> blue airplane (published) or a <img src="https://1986140690-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FayN3HSBiNqeeT0QDZ9TB%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f15712d4b7a8b220f19e76d4daaa06ca00d22fb7%2FScreen%20Shot%202021-04-07%20at%209.48.05%20AM%20(1).png?alt=media" alt="" data-size="line"> grey page (draft).
