Search by initials and beginning of names

On list pages, such as the Student List, you can search for students by initials and beginning of names.

To search for values by initials or beginnings of values, press CTRL+I. A prompt appears. For example, to search for a student, you might do the following:

1. Type the student’s first initial, or the first few letters of the student's first name.

Note: Be sure to add a space between each initial.

2. Type the student’s middle initial, if you know it. If you do not know the student’s middle initial, type the student’s last initial, or the first few letters of the student's last name.

Note: If you type only one letter, the system displays all students whose last name begins with that letter.

3. Press ENTER, or click OK. The system displays a list of students who match the initials search you created.
