SMART Support - (Site MapSearch and Find >  > Search for Individuals

 

The search form offers a user friendly way to locate individuals

 

 

The search box offers the users 4 options when searching for specific individuals.

 

1.By Name

2.By Employee ID

3.By Grade (drop-down box selector)

4.By Location (drop-down box selector)

 

 

SMART will then filter the record-set according to the criteria specified in the users search and return and records found.

 

When selecting search criteria by date SMART uses a standard date selector box.

 

 

 

This helps to ensure that there are no errors introduced by the date format set on users PC's i.e. mm/dd/yy (US) against dd/mm/yy (GB) would otherwise give different results if a user inputs dates such as 02/03/11, 03/08/11, 10/02/12 etc.
