We hop all around Colleague, looking at different forms for the same person, typing in the name over and over. It's so annoying and time-consuming.
There is a shortcut! After the initial lookup, simply type an @ sign at the next lookup and it will bring up the same person.
Exampl
e: You look up a student in student records. You enter Smith, Mary and a list of 17 records comes up. You scroll through, and select number 6. Then you go to admissions to look at her original application. Type @ at the lookup prompt, and the record pops right up. Or you need to look at a program evaluation. Use @ to bring the same record up quickly.
This works with almost any kind of record: employees, vendors, applicants, students.
