Creating a Select Group

Enter a user-defined name for an employee group. The group name should describe the employees who make up the group. For example, a group name might be Business Unit 9.

Enter the name of an existing employee group to exclude the employees in that group from processing.

Identifies and defines a unit of information. The identifier is a 32-character, alphabetic field that does not allow blanks or special characters such as%, &, +, and so on.

You cannot change the data item. It forms the C-code data name (for example Address Number) that the system uses in business functions, data structures, and event rules.

The table that you select determines which fields are available when you create the selection criteria. You can select the F060116, F06116, or F0618 table.

After you create a select group, you cannot change the selection table. If you need to change the selection table, you must create a new select group.

Identifies a data item by the alias or alpha description.

If the field alias column is not available in the detail area, select Show Alias from the Form menu. If you enter a field alias, the system automatically completes the field name with the information that you provide. To use Field Name (and hide Field Alias), select Hide Alias from the Form menu.

Enter a code that identifies the operand in Boolean logic. Values are:

EQ: Equal to.

LT: Less than

LE: Less than or equal to.

GT: Greater than.

GE: Greater than or equal to.

NE: Not equal to.

NL: Not less than.

NG: Not greater than.

You use simple logic to create selection criteria statements for select groups. After you have specified the field on which you want to base selection criteria, you use the Op and Value fields to define the statement and identify whether the field value should be equal to, greater than or equal to, greater than, less than or equal to, less than, not equal to, not greater than, or not less than the value in the Value field. For example, to include all employees in business unit 9, enter HMCU in the Field Alias field, EQ in the Op field, and 9 in the Value field.

Enter a code to designate whether the test parameters or criteria are based on an AND condition or an OR condition.

Use this field to add complexity to a logic statement. For example, to further define the previous statement to narrow the group to include only hourly employees in business unit 9, enter an AND statement and enter FLSA in the Field Alias field, EQ in the Op field, and N in the Value field.
