Multiname/Email/Phone Search functionality of the header bar search function will be included in an upcoming release |
The search box at the top of the screen allows you to search globally for all people, whether applicants, students, alumni, faculty or staff. The search box will search the entire system, regardless of any permissions that
may limit the user to a specific module of the system. Users must be in the faculty/staff module and belong to a permission group with permission #1242 to see the search box.
The search box can be configured to search for name and/or ID or just ID. For institutions with many person records, Campus Cafe recommends setting the box to only search ID to improve system performance. The way the search box behaves is set through the Custom Control SEARCHBOX Sequence 1, Parameter 1. Setting the value to Y will search by Name and/or ID. Setting to N will search by ID.
Institutions can also suppress student photos in the results to increase search speed responsiveness by setting Custom Control SEARCHBOX Sequence 1, Parameter 2 to Y.
If the box is set to search for name and/or ID, the search box searches one data field at a time and shows a maximum of 10 search results. In practice, this means you should search on one data point at a time. For example, the search will not understand “James Bond” because the search phrase contains two data elements: first and last name. However, typing in just “James” will show the first 10 individuals with James alphabetically by last name. If there are more than 10 individuals in the system with the first name James and last names that start with A, James Bond will not appear. Instead, try searching “Bond” or using his ID number (e.g. 007).Searches may be conducted with the following parameters, so long as Custom Control SEARCHBOX 1,1 is set to Y:
FIRSTNAME or LASTNAME
FIRSTNAME LASTNAME (include a space between the two)
LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME (include a comma and space between the two)
Mobile Phone Number (digits only, no non-numeric characters, international format supported)
Home Phone Number (digits only, no non-numeric characters, international format supported)
Email Address
When Custom Control CRSRSTNICK 1,1 = Y, the following formats are possible):
NICKNAME LASTNAME (include a space between the two)
LASTNAME, NICKNAME (include a comma and space between the two)
Once the desired individual appears, click the individual to open the individual’s profile.
