Work with the Information in the Grid (Table)

Jackrabbit grids, located throughout the system, are very powerful and allow you to group and sort your data to customize how your results are displayed. Each grid has core features, such as grouping data by dragging a column to the grouping bar. Row menus and column menus offer different options depending on the grid.

Learn more about working with grids.

Use Column Search to quickly find information in a column. For example, enter a family last name or part of a name, and all the matches will populate in the grid. Use the red x to clear the information in the search field.

Add a New Family

Use the Add New Family (icon)to open the Add Family window. We recommend you always select the Use Quick Registration Form button whenever possible. This allows you to add all the new family information, including students, and sign them up for classes at the same time. 

You also have the option to add a family account 'on the fly' with just their name, location, and registration date when you click on the Enter Family Name Only link.

To accommodate different workflows, the Quick Registration form can also be accessed directly from the Families (menu).

Take Action for an Individual Family

Use the rowmenu to edit that row and access options for working with an individual family. Click on the icon, and a new browser tab or pop-up window will open depending on the action you select. 

Click directly on the row menu for the family you want to work with; do not use the checkbox in the 1st column. When any checkboxes (for use with mass actions) are selected in the 1st column, the row menus are deactivated and won't display.
