Searching for Children
Searching for Children
Each section of Footsteps has a search tool to help you quickly
find the children you are looking for.
To search for a child simply click/tap on the 
button in the top right-hand corner of the
Children page. A search box will appear
for you to type the child’s name. Press enter to search.
If no children are found based on your search, you will be
informed that no results have been found.
If you navigate to another section of the system without
closing the search field your search will be retained, meaning only those
children whose forename and/or surname matches or contains the characters
entered into the search field will be displayed.
To clear your search simply click/tap on the ‘X’ button at
the end of the field.
For more information, please refer to the Children help video:
