Use Filters to Search for Specific Families

Select the Filter icon to open the Filter Drawer. The Filter Drawer houses various criteria to help you drill down to specific families, for example, to list all inactive families or find families with more than two students.

Each filter you select will narrow the results down further.

Once filters are selected and applied, they will appear in the breadcrumbs. Use the red x next to a filter in the breadcrumbs to clear it and refresh the displayed families.
Filters are grouped and organized into sections for ease of use and pull information from the various tabs in the Family record.
Use the arrow (>) to expand a section to see the filters within, or use the Expand All/Collapse All option at the top of the Filter Drawer.
Search for a filter by entering a keyword in the search box at the top of the Filter Drawer. For example, enter "ePay" to quickly locate and navigate to the ePayment Method filter in the Financial Details section.
Select date fields by clicking on the calendar icon or manually enter dates.

Save your Favorite Filtered Grid Views

Save time and effort each time you open a grid page to view your data! After you have applied filters or clicked on a data visual, set the grid column widths, and you can save the filtered data as a Favorite.

Saved favorites can be set as a default view and shared with other Jackrabbit Users in your organization. There is no limit to the number of filtered grid views you can save.

Save a Favorite

Once filters are selected, it's simple to save your favorite views:

Filter the grid for the information you are looking for.
- Use the filter (icon) or click on a data visual.
- Adjust column widths as needed.
Click the Save as favorite (icon).
- Enter a favorite name.
- Select if you want to set the favorite as the default view. This view will automatically load when you return to the page.
- Select if you want to share with your team.
Click Save. Your filtered data, column width, and column-locked positions are all saved.

Click the Favorites (icon).

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.

View/Edit - opens the Family record
