Before you start, [set up Advanced Search](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.ec_set_up_advanced_search.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Help students find course sections that meet their specific criteria by configuring Advanced Search.

    3. Click **Object Settings**, select **Course Offering Schedules**, and then click **Edit**.
    4. For Field Permissions, select **Read Access** for Is Monday, Is Tuesday, Is Wednesday, Is Thursday, Is Friday, Is Saturday, and Is Sunday.
