Sage HRMS 2012 Search Function

Did you know that Sage HRMS is enhanced with a super new search function? You may have already found this exciting and handy feature, as this enhancement was included in a service release from early 2011. But for those of you who have yet to discover the super search function, below are a few tips.

Within any window or view in Sage HRMS and Sage HRMS Payroll, if you see the magnifying glass Finder icon, click the icon to begin your search.

After clicking the Finder icon a new window appears with some options. Use the dropdown menu next to Find By to see your enhanced search options.

Depending on the location or window in which you are searching, you may have several Find By options available from the drop down menu. We recommend you experiment with all of your search options; however, Description is one of the most useful features that we explore further in this article.

When you select Description, a second dropdown menu appears. Select Contains from the second dropdown menu for the optimal searching venture.

Leave the Auto Search checkbox selected for live updating which uses the search criteria you type in the Filter field. If you deselect this checkbox your list will no longer update as you type, and you must close the Finder window before the Auto Search function will activate again.

This enhanced functionality in Sage HRMS is especially useful when you're searching for an item among a sea of details. Just start typing in the Filter field:

Notice how the more you type, the greater your search narrows:

Now, in just seconds you have the tools available to find a needle in a haystack!
