Adjusting the student search results display
When a search of student records generates a list of results, PowerSchool SMS displays the results on one or more pages. There is no limit to the number of results PowerSchool SMS can display; however you can only select [Figure 38] up to 1000 at a time.
By default, PowerSchool SMS displays several columns of information, starting with Student Name [Figure 38]. PowerSchool SMS sorts the list of student records by Student Name, a sorting you can change [>>]. You can change the columns displayed and how they are sorted by choosing a pre-configured grid view [>>]. If you are signed in with a school role, you can filter the results according to a student's status: active, incoming, or withdrawn [Figure 39].
