Enter one or more characters in this field and then pause to allow time for the results set to refresh. The records returned for the search are listed in the Records Selection pane. Selection: If available, this ad hoc search appears in the Saved Search control and also in the Saved Searches list. This type of search is based on an existing search in the Saved Searches list and, typically, comprises a portion of all the available hub or application records that were included in the saved search. Use this type of search to quickly view a specific subset of records for a standard search. Only one ad hoc Selection is available at any given time and will remain unchanged until you either update it or create a new ad hoc search. For more information, see Select Hub Records for an Ad Hoc Search and Edit an Ad Hoc Search Selection. All: Select from a list of all cost/pay labor code tables to which you have access.

Click the icon to display the Edit Search dialog box. You can then update the shared search for future use. SQL Where Clause Search: Select a search from this folder to display a list of cost/pay labor code tables based on SQL Where Clause query statements and advanced search settings. These complex searches locate records across multiple hubs, applications, or databases. You must have the appropriate security role access to use this advanced search functionality. If you share a SQL Where Search with a user who does not have the required security role access to SQL Where Clause searches, then the user can view and run the SQL Where Clause search, but they cannot edit it. Legacy searches, which are based on saved searches from previous versions of the application or legacy systems, display as SQL Where Clause searches. + New Search: Select this link to create a new search for cost/pay labor code tables. Use both basic and advanced search features on the New Search dialog box to refine search criteria.

The Add a Field drop-down includes all standard and user-defined grid fields associated with the hub or application. You can type part of the field name to find it or use the drop-down to locate the desired field. Fields in grids are organized under the grid name in bold. For example, when you select Projects, a list of all grid fields associated with Projects hub is displayed.

	On the Search Navigation Controls at the top of the form, click the Switch to List View icon to switch to the list view of the form. In this view, fields are displayed in columns in one grid on the form. Records are displayed in each row in the grid.

You can add, remove, or change the order of the columns in the grid by clicking to the right of the grid. This opens the Select Columns dialog box. For information about selecting columns, see Select Columns for a Grid. For more information about working in list view, see Use List View.
	After you switch to list view, you can click the Switch to Detail View icon to switch back to the detailed view of the form. In detail view, all selected fields are displayed on the form. This is the default view when you first open the application. Subsequently, the view that was active when you closed the application is the one that displays when you open it again. Detail view is the view that is described in the Help.

Currency	If you use multiple currencies, select the currency to use for all employees in the table. The default is the functional currency of the active company. You can change the selection in this field unless the rate table is currently selected for a project in Billing Terms. If you try to change the currency for a table that is in use, Vantagepoint displays a prompt to indicate that you cannot change the currency.

Labor Code Grid

Field	Description
Edit	Click this button to open all fields in the form for editing.
Labor Code Mask	Enter a labor code, or combination of valid labor code characters and wildcard characters. The wildcard is an underscore (_). For example, if your company uses four-digit labor codes, and you want to charge a specific code to all labor codes with a 2 as the second level, enter _2__. When you edit the labor override table or add a labor code rate, click to search for a labor code mask in the Labor Code Lookup dialog box. All of a table's rows must use the same approach, either a labor code or a labor code mask. If you use labor code masks, all of the masks in a table must use a wildcard for the same labor code levels.
