Configuration Options

Now let's take a look at some of the configurations that you can set up in the employee search. There are two things that you can do to make changes in the configuration. Go to the top right corner of the screen and click on the ellipsis (...), select Configure and the two things that you will be able to do are Configure Grid Layout and Edit Filters.

The Configure Grid Layout which is what you see in the below screenshot. To configure the grid layout, click Configure Grid Layout.

And then Define Grid Columns.

Here you will find a list of the columns in their sequence.

If you would like to change the sequence, for example, move Job Description to the top, Select the Job Desc row and select Move Up from the toolbar. To remove a row, select the row and click Remove from the toolbar. Click Save and Close and when we refresh the page by clicking on Search you will see that the Job Description column is now the first column after the Action column.

To make changes again, select the ellipsis (...), Configure and Configure Grid Layout. Click Define Grid Columns and let's move the Job Description back down. You can also insert a column by clicking on Insert Columns, Insert From Job Description Form Fields, selecting the tab page that you would like to import from and then selecting the field that you would like to view. Save and Close to refresh the field.

You can also edit the Search filters. To do this, go to the ellipsis (…), Configure and Edit Filters

and click on Define Search Filters. Here you can select which filter you would like to have or what you would not like to have. If you would like to remove one, select you would like to remove and uncheck the Show in Quick Filter List checkbox. Click on Save and Close and refresh the page.

There is also the ability to perform advanced searches in Employee Search. To edit the Advance Search options, click on Advanced Search.

In this example, you will see one option: Employees with Acknowledgement.

To add additional advanced searches, they must be configured here. Return to Employee Search and the ellipsis on the upper right-hand corner and select Configure, Edit Filters, and Define Search Filters. As an exercise/example, let’s select Department and select the Show in Advanced Filter List checkbox. Select Salary Grade and again select the Show in Advanced Filter List checkbox. Select Location and select the Show in Advanced Filter List checkbox. Click Save and Close.

When you return to Advanced Search, click on for the Salary Grade, is, and select the salary grade. You can also add to this by selecting the Department that you wish to view. For this example, let’s just look at Salary Grade and click Apply.

The results will return of the employees who have a Salary Grade of A10.

You can remove any of the advanced options by again going to Configure, Edit Filters, Define Search Filters and click on the Adv. Filter? Just remove those you no longer need and hit Save and Close, Save and Close. You can double check this by going to Advanced and making sure you only have what you need.
