Purpose: for finding one or more students within a second or two so you can view their student record card, call them, SMS them, email them, add a tag or a note, etc.

Multiple results from a search are often useful for 'micro-projects' like "calling all students with the tag [ready for a call]".

Type the keyboard shortcut "F" to search for one or many students:

(Note that your most recent 50 searches are always visible unless you clear them.)

Search for one or many students:

1. Format your search with the field, an equals sign and your search term. You can separate multiple search terms with a comma. All searches use the operator "OR" so "fullname=Marty McFly,Doc Brown" will find Marty and the Doc at the same time.

Hint: the search type is a 'contains' so if you type "First=Mar" you will find Marty, Martin, Martha etc. Also if you type "email=.ac.uk" you will find all students using their university email.

2. Fields you can search in:

email
first
last
fullname
crmid
dob
ucasid
misid
mob
tel
postcode
level
persona
stage
tag
team
user
uuid (short and long)

3. Your results appear in the Student Database app:

4. Click either view icon and you can now move between each record:

Summary: Type the keyboard shortcut "F" to start, and have fun!
