Select Search Category

Students may be assigned specific sub-categories for grouping and tracking purposes. At times, it is convenient to know at a glance which students are assigned to a given sub-category. You may assign a color that will display in the student search window beside those specific students so they may be easily identified. You may assign colors to up to three sub-categories.

To display the colored categories in the Student Search window, click the Show Categories box.
