The Quick Find pane appears when you first login to Accelerus, if you have a school level role and you are logging into the database and not an offline file. It is usually situated to the left of the Welcome Screen.
It is a means by which users may quickly and easily search the Accelerus database. It lists all of the records for most entity types in the database that apply to the currently selected academic cycles, and allows you to search all of these in the one search process. You simply enter a search string to find its occurrence anywhere in the database.
