Using WebBoard UIS
XI. Searching for Users
You can also search for users (to view their profiles) using the Search Users window. You can search by first or last name, or by just a partial spelling of a user's name. Also, you can view a list of users by last name.
Each search produces a list of matches, showing the first and last name of the users that match the search criteria, as well as their city, state, and country information from their profile, and the time and date of their last WebBoard connection. The first and last names of each user are hyperlinked to their WebBoard profile.
Note: The search will only return the names of users on your virtual board. The Search Users window looks like this:
Searching on a User's First Name
- Click on the Search button, then on the Search Users link, to open the Search Users window.
- Type the some portion of the user's first name in the text box.
- Click on the First Name radio button.
- Click on the Search button in the window.
Searching on a User's Last Name
- Click on the Search button, then on the Search Users link, to open the Search Users window.
- Type the some portion of the user's last name in the text box.
- Click on the Last Name radio button.
- Click on the Search button in the window.
Searching on the First Letter of a User's Last Name
- Click on the Search button, then on the Search Users link, to open the Search Users window.
- In the alphabet presented, click on the first letter of the user's last name to view a list of all users whose last name begins with that letter.
