How does the 'Check Existing' student work?
A student has finished Exploration 1 early so I want to put him straight into an Exploration 2 class I've created.
But it seems that I have to type all 3 fields (First name, family name, email address) before NetSpace will search for him and recognise him as an existing student? Seems that clicking the Check Existing link does nothing, and because the email address is mandatory the enrolment will not work. Being able to have NetSpace check on just a family name or student id would be would be very helpful.
thanks

No worries Aubrey, but I think we are getting closer. Try this: Click on "View or Add Enrollments," at the bottom of the page there is a button called search and add. You will have to enter something in the search field to get it started, but you could just enter the first letter of their last name and click search. That will bring up a list of students in the system that match your search. Chose the ones you would like to enroll and you should be all set.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks!

Thanks Dave, sorry I wasn't clear, the student in question had actually just finished an Exploration 1 course in NetSpace so was already in the Canvas LMS.
Is there a detailed explanation/description of the Netspace user search function somewhere?
Can I just click Search without entering anything in the Enrol Student fields? And if I do that will it return a list of all current NetSpace users from which I can select the one I want to enrol?
Or do I have to enter something in one field or all fields before clicking Search? It seemed pointless having to enter all the details of an existing NetSpace student (which I had to copy from somewhere else) then click Search to then have no response. Should there have been a response in this case?
As I say, I'm not sure of its purpose at the moment. Hopefully once there is a full directory of current and previously enrolled students it will all come together.
