Finding Records Using Phonetic Searching

PeopleSoft Human Resources provides several options for finding a person and updating or adding information to the people's records in the system. Even if you enter a person's name using ideograms such as Chinese characters and Japanese Kanji, you can specify the name phonetically as a search criterion.

For example, to look up Japanese employee Noriko Kawamoto's personal data record, place the cursor in the Alternate Character Name field, enter the Japanese phonetic characters for Kawa, and click OK. The list box on the search record page displays all the names (sorted phonetically) that begin with Kawa such as Kawasaki, Kawashima or Kawamoto in both Kanji and Kana.

Note:

The phonetic value is the same as the base name value.ain
