      Description

      2. Create a database activity within that course and remember the name of it.
      3. Enable global search and index all site contents.
      4. Search for the name of your database activity using the global search in the top right.
      5. On the results page, under your result, notice the View this result in context - in course Teach & a m p ; learn.
