How Do I Change the Filters?

Changing filters is meant to be easy. The first thing to note is if you are on a shared server or not. On a shared server each building will be able to set their own settings since each building is treated as it’s own “district”. If you are not on a shared server then all settings are set by the district.

1. Change to District Office (PSU if you are in North Carolina) within PowerSchool
2. Go to System Management > Data > BrightArrow Settings

3. Click on Filters in the district line
   1. If you are on a shared server you can do this on your school line or even from your own school without going to district office
   
4. The Filters window will slide in. Make your changes to the primary district contacts filters as needed. 
   1. Options for "Who to Contact" and "How to Contact" for families can be made in the Primary Contacts and Alt Contacts tabs. 
   
   2. In the "Student" tab you can set the "How to Contact" filters as well as specifying some other filter options. 
   
   3. Under the "Staff" tab you can set the "How to Contact" filters along with some additional filters for list generation and user creation. 
   
5. When all your changes are done click Submit at the bottom of the Filters window to save.
