Use the global search

Jump to any page and find records fast with the global search.

The global search is the fastest way to move around the platform. It opens from anywhere and does two things at once: it navigates you to pages, and it finds records such as students, teachers, and classes.

Who this is for

Everyone — global search works for every role.

  • Press Ctrl K (⌘ K on Mac) from anywhere, or
  • Click the search bar in the top navigation.
The global search opens over the current page.

What you can find

The results are split into two kinds:

Result typeWhat it doesWho sees it
PagesJumps straight to a screen in the app — e.g. Students, Timetable, Fees.Everyone
ResourcesFinds actual records by name — students, teachers, classes, and more — grouped by type.Administrators

Resource results show an icon or photo, the record's name, and a short subtitle so you can tell similar records apart. When a type has more matches than shown, the group notes how many more there are.

Type what you are looking for

Start typing — at least two characters for resource results. Matching pages appear immediately; resources appear a moment later as they are looked up.

Move through the results

Use the and arrow keys to move between results.

Open a result

Press Enter (or click) to go to the selected page or record. Press Esc to close the search without leaving the page.

Tip

Resource results follow the selected academic year. If you cannot find a record, check that the right year is selected in the year switcher.
