Find hours adjustment	At the top of the Absence Hours Adjustments form, enter a partial or complete name or number in the Find hours adjustment lookup field to find and select the employee whose hours 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 use multiple companies, you can select records 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, and find and select multiple hub records. 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. For more information about Search Navigation Controls, see Search Quick Reference, Components of a Search, and Use Search Navigation Controls to Filter Records.
Saved Searches list	To filter the list, 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 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 this option to display a list of all employees and their hours adjustment records (both active and inactive). Active: Select this option to display a list of all active employees and their hours adjustment records. Mine: Select this option to display a list of employees on your team and their hours adjustment records. (You are on the same team if you are listed as a team member for the record on the Team tab.) My Searches : Select this option to display employees' hours adjustments based on your personal search. Click the icon to display the Edit Search dialog box. You can then update your personal search for future use. Shared Searches: Select this option to display employees' hours adjustments based on a search shared with other team members and roles. Click the icon to display the Edit Search dialog box. You can then update the shared search for future use. SQL Where Clause Searches: Select this option to display employees' hours adjustments 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 this advanced search functionality. Legacy searches, which are based on saved searches from previous versions of the application or legacy systems, display as SQL Where Clause searches.
