# How to search for users?

## How do I search for users in the Vawsum app?

Users are found through the **Search User** bar at the top of the Vawsum app. Apply the filters in the top-left corner to narrow by user type — teacher, student, parent or other users — and by class, then pick a name from the list or type it directly. Tap the name to view that user's details.

### Steps to search for a user

1. Login to the Vawsum application on your smartphone.
2. Click on the **Search User** bar at the top of your screen.
3. You can now apply **Filters**, at the topmost left-hand corner, based on two categories: **User Type** and **Class**.
4. Select the **User Type** filter category and choose a user type from the menu that appears: **Teacher**, **Student**, **Parent** or **Other users**.
5. A list of the selected user type will appear. Choose from the list, or simply type the name of the user you want in the search user box.
6. Click on the name of the user to view their details.
