This example demonstrates how to use a standard search field on a labor category lookup page. Although your company may not use labor categories, the procedures described here are generally the same for all lookup pages.

1. On the Employee Services Home tab, click the Transfer button. (If no Transfer button appears on your Home tab, click the Time Sheet button.)

2. Click the that appears next to one of the labor category fields (for example, Department or Job). The lookup window for the category opens, listing all of the items in that category. The value shown in the Column drop-down menu serves as a filter on the data being displayed. Generally, the broadest filter is used by default when a lookup window is first opened.

   Note: Depending on your company's configuration, this lookup window may have one or more check boxes (such as Active and Effective) that can be used to narrow (when selected) or broaden (when not selected) the range of the results.

3. To change to a different filter, click and select a different category.

4. In the Search field, enter the search pattern to be matched.

   Tip: Only the category you specified in the Column drop-down menu is searched, and only items that begin with the pattern you specified in the text box are listed in the results.

5. Click the button. The lookup window displays all results matching your criteria.

   Tip: If you leave the Search field blank and then click the button, all results within the filter category are displayed.

This example demonstrates the use of a filter without a search term.

1. On the Employee Services Home tab, click View Attendance Notifications.

   Note that the initial display of attendance notification data is already filtered to a specific date range (upper left), but not to a specific type of attendance notification (the drop-down in the upper right is set to "All").

2. To view a subset of the attendance notification information by type, select either Late Arrival or Absence from the drop-down menu. The display will refresh immediately.

3. To view information for a different range of dates, enter a new start and end date, or use the calendar lookups to select dates (see Specifying Dates).

4. Click Find to run the search with the newly specified date range.
