Sec. 7h, Find an Application 
 

This application is a tool to help you find a specific household application. You may search by using a complete or partial student ID number, the Application number, the applicant, or student last or first names - or any combination. The search may be limited to include or exclude applications designated as Active, Archived or Incomplete.

7h.1.1 Enter Search Parameters
The Focus is positioned as per the Search Focus Value in Application Preferences. In this example (Fig. 2) the focus defaults to the Student ID. Click on or Tab to the desired criteria text box. Notice that Student (Alt-u), Applicant (Alt-p) and Application (Alt-A) category headings have been assigned short-cut keys. These may also be used to move the focus to the ID field for each category. Enter search information and click on the Find button or press the Enter key. Alt-F from the keyboard may also be used.

% = All
The % sign may be entered as a search parameter if you wish to locate all applications per that category (Fig. 3). For example, a % sign placed in the ID text box with Incomplete checked (Active and Archive unchecked) will locate all Incomplete applications by ID number.

Application Status may be Active, Archived, or Incomplete. Active and Incomplete check boxes default to Checked. Archived defaults to Unchecked.
