Before the upgrade, I was able to type a parent name into the People Finder and the children in the system would also list below the parent name. I could then click the child I wanted and continue on.
This feature has been removed with the new update. It is now several extra steps! I would definitely like to encourage your team to add this feature back into the people finder. Please!!
I've noticed that there are times that the student will display under the parent name that was entered into people finder, but if you then select the student's name, the parent's candidate record page is displayed anyway.
