Use an Existing Filter or Group

Filters and groups are ways to modify the display of your advisees list.

  • Filters dynamically select advisees based on criteria.  The advisees meeting that criteria are displayed when a filter is run.
  • Groups are static lists of advisees, only advisees added as members of the group are displayed.

Advisors can use a Filter or Group to focus on a smaller group of advisees that meet specific advising needs.

Notes

  • Filters and Groups work on the list of advisees displayed in your My Advisees grid.  
    • This consists of advisees assigned to you, you have added, or that are delegated to you.  
    • When an advisee no longer meets the Filter criteria they do not appear in the Filter or Group results.
  • It is possible to select criteria that no advisee matches.  
    • This results in an empty My Advisees list.  
    • Select another filter or group to redisplay advisees.  
    • The ALL filter displays all your advisees.
  • Systems filters are predefined and are:
    • *-ADDED - all advisees that have been manually added to your advisee list.
    • *-ALL - all advisees in your advisee list.
    • *-ASSIGNED - all advisees formally assigned to you.
    • *-SELECTED - all advisees currently selected in the advisee list.
