Employee Search

Managers require the ability to find specific employees and then navigate to their person record, timecard or schedule to review or edit information. Employee Search is a global search feature that lets a manager quickly find specific employee records by entering their name or ID.

Note: The Function Access Profile for Employee Search must be set for this feature to be available. See the Access Profiles help for more information.

To use Employee Search:

  1. In the toolbar at the top of any page, click tap Employee Search to open the Employee Search panel.
  2. Enter the name or ID of the employee you want to find in the Search by Employee Name or ID field. You can use the following wildcard characters in your search:
  3. * – use for a multiple character substitution, such as J* for all names that begin with J.
  4. ? – Use for a single character substitution, such as J??n to search for names that begin with J, contain two unknown letters, and end with n.
  5. Note:

    The system displays employee names by Last Name, First Name. Middle names or middle initials display after the first name.

    Although the Employee Search functionality searches for the employee's full name, it starts with the last name, which means if the employee's name is Justin C Bonham, you could enter any of the following:

    • Bonham – The search returns all employees with the last name of Bonham.
    • Bon* – The search returns all employees whose last name starts with Bon.
    • Bonham, J* – The search returns all employees whose last name is Bonham and first name starts with J.
    • Bonham, Justin* – The search returns all employees named Justin Bonham.
    • Bonham, Justin C – The search returns the one employee named Justin C Bonham.

    Do not start the search with the employee's first name or enter any of the following variations

    • Justin Bonham
    • Justin C Bonham
    • Justin*
  6. (Optional) From Advanced Settings, select the time period that you want to use.
