Basic Employee Searching
Hover over the Employee Section in the Navigation Tree (lower left corner) & click the magnifying glass to open the employee search:
The basic search options will appear at the top:
Basic search options are best to use when you are looking for a specific employee or group of employees based on the following options:
- First & Last Name: Search for all or just part of the name in these fields. Use the % (wild card) before typing to have it search for any name that contains those letters (ex. %ith in the last name will have results for Smith, Griffith, Keith, and more)
- SSN & ID: If you have all or part of the SSN or ID you can type what you have in here and it will automatically search for employees who have those numbers in the SSN or the ID field respectively.
- All Records: Toggle option that allows you to choose whether you want to see All Records, Only Unassigned, or Only Assigned. Remember that assigned means they have an assignment that has already started and has not ended yet.
- Active: Toggle option that allows you to choose whether you want to see Active, Inactive, or All Employees when searching. Usually you want to focus on Active employees but if you are looking to add a note or reactivate an old employee's record or can't find someone try changing this toggle.
- RepName: This is the name of the service representative who is set as the Staffing Specialist on an employee's record. Select from the drop down or start typing to find the correct rep
- Branch: If you are at a hierarchy level where you can see multiple branches you can narrow your results down to employee records associated with a specific branch.
- Document Text: Allows you to search for key words in any electronic text document that is saved on the employee's file.
- Clear Criteria: Your system will save the last criteria you used until you either log out or hit this clear criteria button. If you are running a new search, please remember to clear criteria first!

Searching by Messages Logged
This is a great search option to use if your team is using messages to track different kinds of interactions. For example, who has been late, filed a complaint, made an unemployment claim, etc. You can create your own message action codes to fit your business needs. See Tips for Message Logging.
- Navigate to Enhanced Search
- Select Profile

- Choose the Message Date: What date or date range are you looking for (this case we are looking at a date range of the month of December)

Using Universal Search
The universal search allows you to enter a key word to find anywhere on an employee record. For example, you are looking for someone that has some sort of forklift interest/experience, etc. or you just can't find the field you are looking to search for you can use the universal search text.
This can be helpful if you aren't sure what you are looking for but keep in mind this is all encompassing so searching for 'Forklift' could include results of employees who have written on their record ' no forklift experience'
