The Save Search feature helps you work smarter in LACES by turning complicated or frequently used search combinations into reusable tools. Whether youāre filtering students by enrollment status, combining attendance data, or applying multiple criteria, saved searches make it easy to return to your exact setup anytime.
How It Helps:
Save and reuse complex searches: Combine multiple Search Tiles, such as filters, criteria builder conditions, and subsets, and save them for future use by clicking Save Search.
Share with your agency: Check āShare this search with your agencyā to make useful searches available to colleagues under Searches > Shared Searches.
Stay organized and efficient: Manage saved searches under Searches > My Searches, with quick options to Add, Replace, or Delete.
Ensure consistency: Shared searches help your team apply the same data criteria and reduce repetitive setup across the agency, streamlining workflows and ensuring everyone accesses the same accurate dataset.
With Save Search, programs can save time, minimize rework, and ensure everyone is working from the same accurate and consistent data. Learn more about this feature here.
