Finding Existing Students

The Students Management tool allows users to find Student records or display their residence location on the map. It is essential to know how to find Students before their information can be used for any routing work.

Searching for Students in Compass involves the  selection of search filters. Once the Students management dialog is available, a set of search filters, including Attending Schools, Grades, Special Needs, Student ID, Last Name and First Name, and Card ID, become visible.

Another comprehensive set of filters remains hidden by default, but it can be disclosed by clicking the Expand button located next to the Find button, as shown below. Once used, these filters can be hidden again by clicking the Collapse button (this results from the expansion of the filter section).

To find existing Students:

  1. Click Students in the secondary toolbar (the one on the top of the screen). The Students dialog is displayed.
  2. Select the appropriate Attending School on the left of the dialog.
  3. Select the corresponding Grade if known.
  4. Select any Special Needs if applicable.
  5. Enter the Student ID, Last Name, First Name and Card ID if known.
  6. To narrow down your search, click the Expand icon on the left of the Find button to display the comprehensive set of search filters.
  7. Once available, select the appropriate options and/or select other preferred filters such as District Field, Transportation Status, Attachment Type or Track, in the corresponding drop-down menus. You can also enter Address and Zip Code in the provided text boxes.
  8. Click Find.

After clicking the Find button, a list of matching Students will be displayed below.

Depending on the search filters used and how specific these are, the resulting list may contain one or more students.

For example, if you input Student’s ID, only one student should be in the list. But it you select Attending School and Grade, the list should display many Students.

TIP: Reveal Students’ Location

Remember that you can disclose the Students’ location on the map by clicking the search icon (shown as a magnifier) next to the Student ID.
