Select: The Student tab

Add search attributes to capture the cohort required from the available fields.

In this example we wish to send a communication to all the Carers of students in the Year 7 Geography class about an upcoming excursion.

Initially the student search defaults to “Show Students.”

















By activating the “Show Carers” function shown here, rather than the students themselves Educonnex will return search results of those students' Carers who are the intended recipients of our communication.



Select Search to return the Carers as the intended recipients.

Add the Recipients to the communication.

Your selected Recipients are now displayed in a Table or Grid view.


Single or bulk Recipients can still be added or deleted as required.










At this point the remaining standard Communication steps are carried out to complete and send the communication.
