Get Started

Anthology Student also contains enhancements to make you more efficient. For example: 

• You can use the Students list from the Students tile to add and work with students. The Students list is used across all areas of your institution and contains an alphabetical list of all the students at your campuses. It also has multiple search methods that you can use to locate the Student Profile for students, prospective students, and alumni.

• If you work with student documents in more than one module, you can manage all of the student documents from one location rather than accessing Document Tracking from each module.

The Views feature is also unique to Anthology Student. Using the Views feature, you can organize the data that you have in Anthology Student in a way that helps you work more efficiently. You can create views using any combination of data that helps you perform your work better. For example, you can create views that enable you to:

• Quickly access the data that you refer to frequently

• Track and complete your work faster

• Compile and analyze data more efficiently

So that you have examples to review and views that you can use immediately, there are predefined views installed with Anthology Student.
