Within Online Catalogs, users who have template editing permission can also edit the external appearance of course and program names by using “Derived Fields”.
Edited course and program names will appear in the public catalog and can be comprised of fields associated with the course/program record, plain text, and spaces.
Custom derived course and program titles will appear in the course and program search and on the course/program detail page.
