Searching for staff records using detailed criteria

Rather than displaying all staff records available to you, you can find a more specific set by searching the system for records based on the information stored in a large range of staff record fields. For detailed criteria you can search on fields containing demographic information [>>] including home school, scheduling properties [>>], as well as any custom data fields unique to your system. For example, you want to identify all mathematics teachers with at least 5 years of experience in the district [Figure 110].

On the Staff Search page [>>], click the Detail tab.
