Navigating Through SIRAS

The following is a quick guide to the features and their dedicated icons located in SIRAS. More detail is available on additional help pages.
SIRAS is primarily a student database.  This means most areas of the program are focused on either working with:

• 1 selected student record at a time.  To select a student, open the Choose Student dialog, or use the Quick Search to find a record by name or ID.
• or, a found set or group of students records.  To modify the found set, use the Search function to apply different criteria.
