There are some cases where it is required to filter by more than one session at a time.
Context
During busy weeks (i.e. the week assignments are due), tutors are required to filter by the current session, to prioritise students enrolled in said session. When public holidays fall on a scheduled session, students from this session are generally advised they can attend one or more other sessions as compensation.
However, if both events occur simultaneously, then tutors are required to filter by the current session and the session on which the public holiday landed. This is currently not possible, as only a single session can be applied to the filter.
The current solution involves alternatively filtering by the two sessions, which runs the risk of missing some students who were meant to be prioritised.
Proposed solution
This problem would be resolved by the ability to filter by multiple sessions, rather than being limited to a single session. This could be achieved by accepting & parsing comma separated values of sessions in the filter.
