How Profile Form Questions Work as Filters in Self-Matching

Overview

This functionality allows users to filter mentor, mentee, or peer search results using profile form questions. It helps users find more relevant matches by narrowing results based on predefined profile attributes.

Admin Note (Profile Filters in Self Matching)

If you would like to enable profile filters in Self Matching, please contact your CSM team to request activation of this feature.

If enabled, users can filter search results by single choice and multiple choice profile form questions when searching for mentors, mentees, or peers.

How It Works (User Side):

1. Go to your user account
2. Click on the Mentoring tab at the top
   
3. Select Find Now (to search for mentors, mentees, or peers)
   
4. You will see:
   • A search bar (for keywords like name, skill, or title 

     Keyword to search for connections).

     
   • A Filters button next to it
5. Click on Filters Options
6. A list of profile form questions will appear
   
7. Select an answer to filter and refine your search results

Important Note:

• Only Single Choice and Multiple Choice profile form questions can be used as filters
• Other question types (e.g. short text) will not appear in the filter panel
• Available filters depend on how profile form questions are configured in the system
