Searching for Students and Using Student Filters

Overview

Student Success & Engagement dynamic search capabilities allow users to filter by selected fields in order to find and group students together that are either from inside/outside of their caseload.

  • When a staff/faculty user can view multiple Person Types (Applicant/Faculty/Prospect/Staff/Student) within an individual Department App (Advise/Instruct/Recriit), each person type will have it's own caseload.
  • The filter scope (My Caseload/Specific Caseloads/Everyone) determines if the filter results will include everyone found by the filter criteria or just the on-caseload/specific caseload records found by the filter conditions. For more information about building a filter, click here.
      • A caseload is defined as students who are registered for courses in a current term to whom you are assigned to as their academic advisor or success coach, and are included in the statuses selected on your User Settings "Caseload" settings.

Role Administration - Profile View Configuration 

Profile View Configuration determines if logged-in users can view students that are not included in their caseload.

The options are:

      • Allows staff/faculty to view a full profile of all students,including students that are outside of their caseload.
      • Full Profile View permisssions determine which Profile Tabs and Profile Details are visible with a Full Profile View.
      • Users can create and view the activity feed for filters using other people's caseloads/everyone/and only their own caseload.
      • If this permission is removed from a staff/faculty role after it was assigned/used, the sstem will hide all filters that were created in the past with a scope of "Other Caseloads/ Everyone".
      • Allows staff/faculty to view a full profile view of students that are on their caseload, and a limited profile for students that are not on their caseload.
      • Full Profile View permisssions determine which Profile Tabs and Profile Details are visible with a Full Profile View.
      • Limited Profile View permissions will determine which Profile Tabs and Profile Details are visible with a Limited Profile View.
      • This permission only allows users to view the activity feed for filters scoped to their own Caseload.

Student Search

  • Students can be searched on by their full/partial name or person ID.

Searching within a Caseload

Usually, after logging in to SS&E, the Students page will only display students that are in the logged-in users' caseload. This is based on the student's Primary Advisor/Primary Coach assignments and the User Settings defined by each individual user.

  • By default, searching within a caseload will only return Current Students.
  • Depending on User Settings, results may also include Continuing Students and Instructed Students.

Searching Outside of Caseload

  • This depends on the logged-in user's Profile View Configuration settings and User Settings.
  • If permitted, search results will include students that are "off-caseload".
  • Depending on User Settings, results will include Current Students and Continuing Students, Instructed Students.

Using Student Filters

  • Using a filter allows users to target a group of students based on the selected criteria.
  • When selecting filter conditions, the selected criteria will populate and display in the filter field.
  • The available Search Filters are determined by Person Type Settings configured from People & Roles Administration.
    • When a search filter is set to Yes, the filter criteria is displayed in the search filter.
    • When a search filter is disabled, it will be removed and hidden from the list of available filter criteria.
