NAME SEARCH

    

The name search screens assists the operator in locating a record in the
system when the Student Identification Number (SID) is not known. The name
search process can be invoked by typing all or part of the last name in the
action line field labeled SID:__________ on any screen in SIS.

If the search matches one student the system will display the screen 
information and place the student name in the context area.  However, if
multiple matches occur a list will be displayed.  Simply enter the line
number associated with the appropriate student. This will cause the system
to select the student and process the request as a direct match.
 


TIPS: Always space out any remaining numbers in the SID field.

      If you are sure of the correct name, enter the last name
      and as much of the first name as possible in the SID field.
      Leave a space between the last name and first name.

      A comma after the last name tells the system to forget all
      data to the right of the comma.
