Searching for Personnel

Tool Search: Personnel Master

Before you can work with personnel in the Personnel Master, you must search for a person using the Search Person tool on the Personnel Master or the Search tab in Campus.


Using the Search Person Tool

To search for personnel, enter one of the following criteria in the Search Person field:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Nickname
  • Local Staff Number (Personnel Number)
  • State Staff ID
  • Social Security Number

    This option is only available if you have been given SSN Tool Rights and your administrator has enabled the option on the District Master tab.

Tips for Searching

  • If you do not know the full spelling of the first or last name, you can enter just the first few letters. The Search Person tool displays names that match the letters you enter.

    When retrieving search results, the Search Person tool also reviews former names of personnel. If someone's former name matches the criteria on which you are searching, that person will display in the search results.
