Searching for Students in AdminVue

Searching using Last Name/Primary Field

• The fields display in yellow to indicate that the screen is in Find mode.

  Open

  

• Once you select a student record, that student’s records display on all of the student related screens. 

  • For example, if you look at a student’s record on the Student screen, then select the Student CTE screen, that student’s record also displays on the Student CTE screen without having to search for them

• Enter all or part of the Last Name.

• Click Find or press Enter.

• If no Last Name contains the letters entered, the next record closest to the searched name displays.

• If the letters entered for the Last Name match all or part of a student’s last name, the first student with the last name matching the entered information displays. 

  • For example, if you entered the Last Name “Doe” and more than one student with the last name “Doe” is available, the screen shows Jane Doe's information, because “Jane Doe” is alphabetically listed before “Janet Doe”.

  • If the letters entered match part of the name you entered, like “Doe” but no students have the last name Doe, a student named Doerner would display instead.

  •  If the letters entered do not match the first part of a last name but they are contained in another last name, that name would display, like if you enter Der and no last names begin with Der, Moldero displays.

• Scroll using the arrows to find the other students that match .

Using a Search Wildcard (*)

• Use an asterisk (*) on any field as a wildcard.

  • For example, if you want to find all the students whose first name starts with A, enter A in the First Name field followed by an asterisk (*).

• The placement of the asterisk (*) in the field controls how the existing information entered in the field matches the records.

  • If you place the asterisk (*) before the text, the text must match exactly in the field.

  • If you place the asterisk (*) after the text, it matches any records that start with that text in the field.

  • If you place the asterisk (*) in the middle of the text, the field must start with the text before the asterisk (*) and end with the text following the asterisk (*).

  • If you enter text in the primary field and enter only asterisks in any other field, the Find Result screen does not open. You must use at least one asterisk in a field with text to open the Find Result screen. You can also place asterisks in other fields to include them in the Find Result screen.

• Click Find or press Enter to view the results. The Find Result screen opens listing all students who match the entered criteria. In this case all students with First Name starting with “A”.
