How to Display Search Results

The two most commonly used methods for viewing the results from a student search are to display the list by selecting List Students and to save the list by doing a Quick Export. Both of these options are considered Group Functions within PowerSchool.

How to List Students:

• Perform the desired Student Search

• Select a function for this group of students by clicking on List Students in the drop-down menu
• The Student List Report parameters screen is displayed.

• Click Fields to choose from the available options.
• Click Submit to display the list of students with the specified field values.

How to Save this List: Selecting the values of the List Students, then copying/pasting as a text document is a possible method of saving the values; however, the most direct approach is to save the list from a Quick Export.
