This will lead you to a Find a Teacher user search module where you can begin setting criteria for a search. The Search Screen module includes a search bar, the More Search Options feature, and options to Search All Schools, Include Parents, Include Inactive Users, and Only Show Most Recent Enrollment.

Click the User List tab for a complete list of users without conducting a search. You can also simply click Search and leave the User text box empty to pull all active users.

2. Enter the user's name, user's ID, or EIN in the User text box.

3. Click Search.

The search bar is not case sensitive, and full or partial entries can be in either a first last or last, first format. The comma is necessary in the last, first format. A full user name or ID number can also be entered into the search bar. Searching for "ro" will pull every user whose first or last name begins with "ro" into the search results.

4. All resulting users display in the User List. When you find the correct user, click on the user's name to open the user's Take Attendance screen. As shown in the image, the users are defined by Gender: Female, and the only Profile displayed is the Teacher Profile.
