Search+for+students+in+a+close+course

You can search for students using the fields on the Quick Search tab or using the **Advanced Search** tab to search on a specific field. When you search, students who match your search are selected. The system compares your search criteria against the corresponding fields in the records being searched and selects only those records containing data that matches. On the Advanced Search tab, you can save a favorite search that you want to use again and you can select a custom list of fields in which you want to display results. For example, you may save a search called My Students that returns the students for whom you are the guidance counselor and you may choose to have the search results include student name, ID, primary homeroom, house/team, and classification. Then, on the Student List page, you can select the My Students favorite from the Search Favorites field to display the results matching your saved search and display fields. The Advanced Search tab includes a section to select and define search favorite names, a section of search criteria fields, and a section to define the list of fields to display in the search results. To select a favorite that you want to edit or delete, select the appropriate favorite. --Custom Search-- indicates that the current search has not been saved as a favorite. After you select a favorite, the criteria list will display the saved filter and the List Field Display Selection will display custom display fields if a custom display was defined for the favorite. You can edit this information and then re-enter your search name so your changes are saved for the favorite when you click **Search**. You can delete the favorite by clicking Name to identify the search you are saving. [Character/50] If you selected a favorite and you made changes that you want to save for the favorite, enter the name of the favorite in the Custom Search Name field. When you click **Search**, the favorite will be saved and your current search will overwrite your previously saved search. Filters allow you to select the records to include in a report or in a process. The system compares your criteria against the corresponding fields in the records being searched and selects only those records containing data that matches.
