Navigate360: Using Advanced Search

How to use the advanced search tool in Navigate360.

The Advanced Search function within Navigate360 allows you to create unique cohorts or groups of students by searching based on various attributes or parameters, the results of which can be used to create Student Lists, build appointment campaigns, or track student progress. Queries will pull lists of current students that fit the parameters of the search.

The Advanced Search uses different logic statements to build queries. Most search filters create AND statements. As you build a search by laying on various filters within or across drawers, the query will identify students that satisfy all the listed requirements.

There are some filters that create OR statements, where you can make multiple selections within a given field to increase the scope of your search. These search fields are indicated by the presence of an 'In any of these' identifier in the title.

You can also create logic statements within a given field. These filters are identified via  plus sign icon, which expands the field when selected. While 'ANY' statements allow for the creation of more inclusive searches, selections made in "In All of these' or in 'In None of these' fields serve to limit the scope of a search.
