Locating Personnel Records

When you open an additional information page, the system displays the dialog box for you to select the person. If you don't know the person's employee ID, there are alternate ways to locate the person's record:

  • Use the search dialog box to search for the correct record by name or partial last name or middle name.

    Advanced search options may also be available.

  • Use the Search for People page to search for a person ID by name, address, city, date of birth, gender, or national ID.

  • Use the Search by National ID page to find a person's person ID by using a national ID.

    After you have the person's employee ID, enter it in the dialog box for the page you are accessing.

These topics discuss locating personnel records.

Empl Record

If the person has more than one organization instance or job record, enter the record that you want to access.

If you do not know which record you want to access, do not enter a value in this field. The system lists all the job records in the search results, enabling you to select the appropriate one.

Name, Last Name, and Middle Name

If you're not sure of the entire employee ID or name, make a partial entry in one of these fields and click Search to search for the correct name and ID.

You cannot use this field to search for last names using special characters, such as double-byte Japanese characters.

Alternate Character Name

If you selected the Alternate Character option for your user ID on the Primary Permission List Preferences table, you can also search for employee names by using the Alternate Character search feature in PeopleSoft Human Resources.

Organizational Relationship

Select the organizational relationship to narrow your search to Employees, Contingent Workers, or Person of Interest.

Military Service, Rank, and Worn Rank

Enter the military information to search for people associated with a military service or rank. The military fields must be activated after installation or upgrade if you choose to have these fields appear as an alternate search key or list box attribute.

Use the Search/Match page (HCR_SM_SEARCH) to search for and select a person.

Additional features include optional drill-down to additional non-sensitive data.
