Screen Fields
Use these fields to select the search criteria for the drill-down results and report.
Parameter ID and Description Fields
Use these first two fields to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Parameter ID |
Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen. When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query. You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults. |
Description | Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters. |
Selection Criteria
Date Range Fields
Select the following date range options for employee activity.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Date Range | Select from the following date range options:
|
Start Date |
Click to the right of the field to select the start date for the employee activity. The default date that displays is the first day of the month of the current system date. If you selected "From Beginning" as the Date Range option, this field is disabled. Note: This is not a required field. Because the amount of information displayed in the Employee Activity screen is considerable, we strongly recommend that you select a date range to narrow the scope. If you do not make a selection in the
Start Date field, the system attempts to retrieve all selected employee information from the beginning of the employee history.
|
End Date |
Click select the end date for the employee activity. If you selected "To End" as the Date Range option, this field is disabled. |
Show Self Only |
Select this check box of you want to display only those employees assigned to you. If you do not select Show Self Only, you must then select functions in the Employee Selection table. The default is based on the number of functions listed. If you are assigned more than one function that has view rights (as defined in the Functional Roles screen), the default value will be "Select." If you are assigned only one function, that function will be the default value. If you are assigned more than one function in the system, an additional selection, "ALL," will be available along with the function of "Self." |
Show Details | Select this check box to include charge details. |
Drill-Down Options

If you change the Level 1 value to "None" after having selected Level 1 and Level 2 values, the Level 2 field will be changed to "None" and disabled.
