How to Customize Record Lookup Fields in Standard

In school districts, quite often, one database will cover all of the students of multiple schools. As such it is recommended to select the best search fields to quickly look up and print a record as needed.

How to Customize Record Lookup Fields

In AlphaCard School ID Standard, the database fields used to search the database for a specific record are completely user defined.

1. To edit which fields appear in the record lookup field, first go to the configuration tab.
   
2. Once there, click on Database Setup.
   
3. Go to the page that says Select look-up fields for records pane. Simply Check the box next to each database field that you want to search by.
   
4. Once you are done, click next until you can click finish. The new database fields should be in the Record Search Pane.
   
5. AlphaCard School ID will always search by the left most column in this pane. To change which field is being searched, simply drag and drop the field that you want all the way to the left.
   
   

The Database is now being searched by that field.
