Staff Stored Searches

Use stored searches to repeatedly search for groups of staff members. Set up and save the search or use a search that someone else has set up.

Create a Stored Staff Search

Create a new group of staff members for whom you and other users can search. To create a stored search that is similar to another stored search, copy a command string from another search and paste it into a new search group. You must then make the necessary changes or additions to the command string for the new group.

1. Click View Field List. 
2. To narrow the list of fields, enter one or more search terms in the Filter field.
3. Click the field you want to add.
4. Enter a field operator and value after the field in the Search Staff field.
5. Click Stored Searches. 
6. Click New. 

7. Enter a name for the stored search.

8. Enter the field and field values determined in Step 2. You should enter one command on each line. Field names must be entered exactly as they appear in the Staff Field List.

9. Click Submit.

Edit Stored Staff Search Criteria

If you find that a search is not finding the correct staff members, there could be a problem with the search commands. On the other hand, perhaps the criteria for a specific group have changed. In either case, you must edit the search criteria.
