Creating Related Record Joins

In a related record join, you can automatically join two records based on a relationship that has been predefined in the record designer. For example, if a field has a prompt table defined for it, PeopleSoft Query displays a join link to the right of the shared field.

This example shows the Query page. Use the Join <record name> link to join record. The QEDMO Employee record can join to the JobCode record by using the by QE_JOBCODE field, or the QEDMO Employee record can join the Data Department record by using the DEPTID field.

    The join is reflected on the Query page.
