The Student field autosuggest feature, which is available on most pages where you retrieve a student record, allows you to search for a specific student by typing some or all characters in the student’s name or student ID. As you begin typing in the field, a drop-down list of students is displayed according to the characters you have typed. The more characters you type, the shorter the list.

Begin typing the student ID (with leading zeros) or last name. As you begin typing, a drop-down list displays students whose ID or last name begins with the numbers or characters you have typed. The drop-down list displays the students' full name, grade level, and and WD if the student is withdrawn or a No Show. From the drop-down list you can select the student.
