You can
perform a search based on student information in any of these
eight categories: first name, last name, gender, student
ID, date of birth, grade level, password, or students who
have not yet been assigned to a class. |

The second
line in the Search screen allows the user to specify search
criteria based on the demographic information that was provided
in the Demographics screen. |

The third
line in the Search screen allows the user to specify search
criteria based on class information. The types of information
by which you can search are class name, instructor name,
class grade level, class section or period, or beginning
or ending date of the class. |

If you
want to specify only one line of criteria for the search,
you will need to create a search definition by selecting
a criterion from one of the three categories at the left.
Then select one item from the Compare field
and select or type a value in the Search Values field.
Click on the Add button located to the right
of that criterion, and your criterion will be added to the Search
Definition field. Then click on the Search button
to perform the search. |

The names
of all students who meet the search criteria given in the Search
Definition field will be placed in the screen from
which the Search feature was activated. Note that they will
replace the previous contents of the Students list on that
screen. |

If you
want to specify more than one search criterion, you must
add the word “AND” or “OR” to the
end of each criterion line by selecting it from the Logicals
pop-up menu that appears at the end of the line, and then
clicking the Add button. |
| |
|
|

You can
specify another search criterion based on either student,
demographic, or class information. After all of the desired
criteria have been entered into the Search Definition field,
click on the Search button to begin the
search. |
