Hello
As i watched the videos, the adviser search for a sample student (let's consider "John Doe"), and then provides him some advises.
But I think there should be a way to "get a list of all students", and then the adviser can go throw every one of them, and provides some comments for them.
Does this functionality exist in your system?
Can adviser find a list of students to advised?
Hello,
At the moment, the built in functionality is that (1) the advisor can search for a student, (2) the advisor can see a list of all students assigned to their same major code, and (3) the advisor can see a list of all students assigned to them as their advisees.
There isn't a way to easily see all students at the university at once (for most schools, that would be thousands of records), but you can also do an "advanced search" by typing in "major=COSC" to search for all students with that major, for example.

Thank you,
How can i get list of (2) and list of (3)?
For #3, the advisor and their students should be matched up in the database table "advisor_student". You can also do this in the UI by going to Admin Console-> Users -> (find the advisor user), then click the Edit Advisees button at the top.
Also on that edit page, you can set the faculty user's major code.
You can go to Users -> Students, to find students and similarly edit their major code.
That is how you can set up the connections for options 2 and 3.
After that, the advisor can see them after logging in, and going to the "Advisees" tab at the top of the page. They will see options like My Majors and My Advisees at the top, as buttons.
