Getting Started — Using Basic Data Analysis

You can narrow your search by entering multiple search criteria.  For example: If you type 4/11/2008 in the Request Date search field and click Find, you will receive a list of ALL cases in your district with a request date of 4/11/2008 or later. If you type 4/11/2008 in the Request Date search field AND select Case Type CSE and click Find, you will receive a list of only CSE cases with a request date of 4/11/2008 or later. This is a narrower search than the previous search example. If you leave all search fields blank and click Find, you will receive a list of all IHRS cases in your district. (In NYC, you will receive a list of all cases in all NYC school districts).

Request Date Range

You can search for cases that fall within a date range. For example:

• If you want to find a case that you know has a Request Date of 4/11/2008, type 04/11/2008 in the Request Date field and in the To date field and click Find.

• If you want a list of all cases with a Request Date of 4/11/2008 or after, type 04/11/2008 in the Request Date field and leave the To date field blank and click Find.

• If you want a list of all cases with a Request Date in April 2008, type 04/01/2008 in the Request Date field and 4/30/2008 in the To date field and click Find.

Navigating Search Results

• Click the ReQuery button to repeat the search.

• Click the Query button to return to the search criteria window to conduct another search. All previous search criteria are cleared from the fields. You can also click the Start New Search link at the top or bottom of the window to perform the same task.

• Click the New button to create a new case. Use this when the search tells you that you have not yet created the case you were looking for.

  If there are many cases in the search results list, the following buttons are available to help you navigate through the list.
