Student Stored Selections
On this page:
Store a selection of students or staff to retrieve a group that you work with frequently. Whereas a stored search holds criteria that can result in a varying list of students or staff every time you utilize the stored search, stored selections hold the actual list of students or staff at the time you create the stored selection.
You can create compounded stored selections; that is, use stored selections either to add to other stored selections or create new ones. Since stored selections are user-specific, you manage your own set of stored selections. However, you can publish a stored selection to others in your school.
Stored selections are snapshots of a particular time and do not change when student- or staff-related information changes; therefore, it is suggested that you periodically delete and recreate their stored selections to refresh the data.
