Browsing content on seek

Seek contains several types of content which you can access by clicking on “Browse” from any page.

The list of results provides filtering options, which vary depending on the type of content. For example, events can be filtered by the country where they take place.

By default, the content is listed as cards, providing title and some basic information.

Alternatively, a condensed view and a table view is available, showing more results at once.

The columns to be shown by the table view can be customised, adding/removing columns as well as choosing their order.
