Hi, we’ve found that the filters trigger that opens up the filters panel is not very apparent to many of our users.
I’m looking for a CSS implementation that makes the filters panel always open. Can this be done?

I’ve tried but never been able to expand the filter option by default with CSS. I’d love to see if anyone has done it successfully.
Instead what I’ve seen people do is leverage the fact that a unique url is generated when a filter is applied. That means that you can curate some filters yourself and include them as links in an HTML widget:
When one of those links is clicked, it will reload the page with the filter(s) already applied.
Hope this helps!
One idea is to draw attention to the Filters button by applying a background color to it.
We use an HTML widget, and then simple square boxes with the category names.
Luckily, when you select a category, it changes the URL in the address bar.
We then take these URL’s and create a row of buttons using the HTML widget.

This is a nice idea that I can explore!

div.ui-data-browser-controls-bar-start {
display: none !important;

If you are new to CSS, I recommend download the Chrome browser extension Stylebot. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylebot/oiaejidbmkiecgbjeifoejpgmdaleoha?hl=en-US
But a question for you and other folks that have been playing the game longer - has the platform changed its delivery of urls under your feet before? Is there anyway to avoid that corner? I have been burned by other LMSs upping their technology and functions being taken away from me with a new js library being deployed as well as new styles...I could only imagine that urls would be that much more of a volatile thing that could change.
For example - channels behavior is due to deploy how content is available with them..they will allow for open courses to be served up by them (not only subscribed anymore)...and because I really like they way that Channels are served up? That will force me to touch many pages...but I would imagine “unsupported” url formats that are discovered by inspecting elements can change under your feet and you are only going to know the hard way about it.
I’ve been a Docebo customer for 4 years. I’ve never had them change URL deliveries (even to its detriment). And I know there are other customers who utilize the same behavior. So I’d hope we’d know before they did something that would have that sort of impact.

Dustin - question for you about this set up. Are you saying that you are using the link from each catalog to link to the different boxes for your categories and then setting up an html widget for the look you have here with the boxes across the screen?
We are wanting to do something like what is found in the content library to filter. Anyone have ideas on a way to do this in the platform? The current filter options make no sense to our users who are looking for content topics rather than the type of content (e-learning, etc.).
Bringing this back up - has any one been able to have the filters display by default?
Also - using CSS can we had the “Categories” option but keep the Filter option visible?
