If a user does not know a field value or only part of it, there are
different ways to look up information as needed.
|
Within the Payroll Table Translation Screen |
|
The wildcard character in the Oracle system is identified by the “%”
symbol. There are ways to look up wanted information in the
application using “%”.
- Place the “%” after entering some data on the Payroll
Translation Table Screen. This will bring up the subsequent screen
with all data related to the digits entered plus any others to find
because the wildcard was entered. For example, if the user places “12%”
in the Appropriation field, the subsequent screen will return all
records related to Appropriations beginning with “12.”
- The user can enter full information on any field to arrive at the
subsequent screen, which will bring up a list of records pertaining
to what was entered. At the top is the “Find” line. A user
can enter information in the order given for the table (Unit,
Appropriation, Activity, DDS, User Code, and Description) to look up
information. If the user knows the Unit and Appropriation and would
like a list of records related to those two items, the user would
enter, for example, “C128%”. This will bring records
related to Unit = C and Appropriation = 128.

Within the UDDS Lookup Screen |
|
A user can also do a lookup on information if they know the UDDS.
The user will enter information in the UDDS field and click on “Enter.”
A list will come up showing all records currently related to the
particular UDDS entered. If there are many records, the user can click
on the scroll bar on the right side to view more. The UDDS Lookup
Screen looks like this: |
