Field Description
Find payment run At the top of the Employee Payments form, enter a partial or complete name or number in the Find payment run lookup field to find and select the payment run record that you want to view or edit.

Your current record selection will be preserved if you switch to another application and then return to this form.

If you have multiple companies in Vantagepoint, you can select employee payment runs only for the active company that you are working in. The name of the active company displays on the right side of the Vantagepoint main toolbar.

Search Navigation Controls

The Search Navigation Controls display to the right of the Find lookup field at the top of most Vantagepoint hub and application forms. Use these controls and their related components to quickly locate a saved search, create ad hoc or new searches, page through records, find and select multiple hub records, and view selected hub or application records in () Detail View.

On the Saved Search control (), click to display the Saved Searches (left) pane and Record Selection (right) pane. Most search types include standard, personal (My Searches), shared, and complex searches, as well as an ad hoc search Selection. Available search types vary, depending on the active hub or application form.

When you add new records in most hub and application forms, you can easily group and track them from the Search Navigation Control in Detail View. On the active form, click the +New <record> button, complete the required information for each new record, and then click Save. Vantagepoint displays both a saved confirmation message and the New Runs label () that appears in the Saved Search control. As you add new records, Vantagepoint orders the records sequentially. You can use the paging control to review and edit each new record on the active hub or application form.

When you access a different field or search on the hub or application form or navigate away from the form, you lose the ability to view and track the new records. The New Runs label then reverts to the Saved Search control ().

Saved Searches list

To filter the list of employee payment runs, select one of the following search types:

  • Quick Find: Use this field to locate a specific search or group of searches in a long list of searches. 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 an ad hoc search.

    For more information, see Select Hub Records for an Ad Hoc Search and Edit an Ad Hoc Search Selection.
