  1. In Save Filter As enter a filter name.

  2. Click Submit.

  3. Next time the filter is run, the date with the variable will automatically fill in with the correct date.

Save criteria 

You can save criteria may so you can run a search in the future using the same criteria. A saved filter doesn’t save the resulting population itself, it saves only the criteria. The results will be dynamicEach time you run the finder, it returns the results that match the criteria as of that moment. For example, in January you set up criteria to show all enrolled students from Connecticut or Rhode Island and you save the criteria. In February a student from Connecticut withdraws. When you run the finder in March, your result count decreases by one with the withdrawn student removed from the results.

...

if you configure the finder to return all students from Alabama on Monday you may return 10 students. On Friday, you run the finder with the same criteria and return only 9 students. This is because during the week one individual’s address was changed and they now don’t live in Alabama.

If you often search for the students meeting a particular criteria, you can save your criteria. This way you don’t need to set the criteria every time you need to identify a certain population of students. For example, you may need to run a weekly report of students from Alabama for an outside reporting requirement. Once you set the criteria, which may be just state or state and additional criteria, you can save it.

Use a saved filter

Once you’ve saved a filter, you can use it later, even if you’ve logged out of Campus Cafe and returned the next day. If someone else has saved a filter and allowed others to use it, you can use their filter, too. This can help ensure that different people across your organization use the same criteria when answering a common question like how many students do we have from Alabama?

  1. Go to the Filters.

  2. At the top select a filter either from All Users or My Filters.

  3. Once a filter is selected, the finder shows the resulting students who match the criteria. You can adjust the criteria by clicking Filters.
