Searching for staff records using basic criteria

Rather than displaying all staff records available to you, you can search for a limited set of records based on the information stored in up to three staff record fields [Figure 268]. For basic criteria you can search on fields containing largely demographic information [>>] including home school. For example, you want to locate a female teacher you met at a staff meeting named Eliza or Liz [Figure 268].

To conduct a search for staff records using basic criteria:

1

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

2

Under Search by, for the first criterion [Figure 268]:

a

Select the field on which to search.

b

Select an operator.

c

Enter the value to find.

3

Configure up to two more criteria.

4

Click Search. PowerSchool SMS displays matching staff records (if any) under Staff Search Results.

=

PowerSchool SMS saves the search criteria. Should you want to conduct this same search again, select it from List.

=

In a search for staff at a specific school, the results include staff who have a school record at the searcher's school or the specified school. Staff members who have been assigned the specified school as a Home School, but who do not have a school record at the school [>>], do not appear.

=

You can changed the sorting of these results [>>] or adjust the columns displayed [>>].

=

If search matches only one staff member, PowerSchool SMS displays that staff member's record.

=

If duplicate records exist, an (X) displays by their name in the duplicate records [Figure 269].
