Paradigm Student > Search menu

The Student > Search menu allows you to search for student records based on various criteria such as the student's name, ID, or the institution they belong to (if you have multiple institutions). You can also order the search results and copy/download them for further use.

Another useful feature of the Search function is that it unloads the current record and refreshes the screen, which prevents contamination of records and enables you to work on a different record.

You can search for students using the following criteria
