TracCloud: Students Listing

Student data is one of the most important parts of your Trac System, on top of being the record that all their visits, appointments, documents, and more are assigned to, you also have the student's information directly. You can run reports on visits grouped by student majors, or send emails to students of a certain class, cohort, or any other field you have available. This article goes over some of the ways you can search for these records.

The Students Listing itself (found by clicking 'Students' in the Navigation Bar) contains all student records uploaded to your Trac System. From this page, we're able to manage student data in bulk, creating lists, sending emails, or submitting SAGE referrals, or we can open a specific student record and manage just one student profile at a time.

Each column of information displayed has a clickable header that will sort the listing accordingly. Clicking once sorts ascending, a second click will sort descending.

Using the Search Bar on this screen, we can easily perform quick searches to find specific students. Right clicking in the search bar (shown below) will provide a list of available student fields to search, click any of these to auto-fill the search bar.

Example Searches:

Find a student by a single value, such as ID. Specifying 'Students.ID=' actually isn't required for ID or Name searches, but it works well as an example.

Students.ID=1931

...or name. Names should be formatted as 'Last, First' or 'First M Last'. 'First Last' will also work if middle names are not being imported.

Day, Rob

Search multiple fields at once, separate your searches by a space.

Students.Major=Mathematics Students.Class=Sophomore

When performing multiple searches where at least one field contains a space, make sure to surround the contents you're searching for with quotation marks.

Students.Major="Chemical Engineering" Students.Status=Active

Search in Custom Fields. It's recommended to use the right-click menu to select these, as it will always auto-fill the correct field name.

#sql:InState#=Yes

Date searches such as this are required to be formatted as YYYY-MM-DD

Students.BirthDate=1993-07-16

We also offer a special search to find students where today is their birthday.

Hamburger Menu

Every listing page in the Trac System features a hamburger menu with utilities to search for or interact with your list of records. Some of these options are specific to a certain listing/record-type, others are shared. The following list includes definitions for the hamburger menu options available on this listing, and how they can be utilized.

List All

This option will show all records on the current listing. Some listings have an additional toggle for only showing "Active" records, such as Students and Registrations, which will still override a "List All" search if checked.

Search

This utility will open a pop-up window unique to each Listing it's present on, allowing you to search your records by a number of different fields. In the case of the Student Listing, you could use this to search related records, such as 'Students who have at least 2 Visits in the Learning Center' or 'Students with a recent Document upload in their timeline.'

Power Search

This option provides a simple but powerful search utility to find the records you need. String together multiple searches, adding or removing results for each. Use Search Symbols to include ranges of data, and Save Searches for later use if needed. The search term 'blankornull' can be used to find all records with a value of nothing ("") or null ().

Search by Term Enrollment

Allows you to search based on the students' enrollment in a specific term or multiple terms. The example search below would show students who are enrolled in a 2023SP registration AND are not enrolled in a 2023FA registration.
