SEARCH TIPS

• Searches are all case insensitive.



• Names will be returned in alphabetical order.



• Last Name Search:


Enter employee's full or partial Last Name. The % (percent) sign may be used as a wildcard in partial name searches.

Examples,

Enter "Good" to search for all Last Names that begin with "Good," such as, and including, Gooding, Goodson, Goodwin, etc.





Use the % wildcard when searching for all Last Names ending in "son".
Enter "%son" to return Adamson, Johnson, Woodson, etc.

.



The % wildcard is also useful when you are searching for Last Names with spelling variations such as, "MacDonald" or "McDonald". Enter "M%donald" to return both.

• First Name Search:


Enter employee's full or partial First Name. The % (percent) sign may be used as a wildcard in partial name searches.
For examples, see above Last Name Search examples.


• Department Search:


Enter the department's full or partial name. The % (percent) sign may be used as a wildcard in partial name searches.


Note: The department name entered must match the name stored in the database (i.e., the "official" department name).

If you do not know the exact name of the Department, you can:



1) Search on the name of someone who is in that department, then view the resulting department name.
    (The actual department name may be different than what you believe it to be!)

2) Do a partial name search:

    Examples,

Enter "Human" to return all the departments whose official name starts with the word "Human" (eg, "Humanities & Amer Studies").





Use the % wild card to return department names you are unsure of.
Enter "%Human" to return all department names that include the word "Human" in it.



Note:    The official HR department name is "Office of Human Resources".
