Searching HR Transactions

The Search facility gives you the opportunity to list HR Transactions that you or others have created. Depending on the owners of the Transaction and your authorization level, Transactions listed can be updated, viewed, printed, or used as templates for a new Transaction. 

In most cases the basic Search screen will provide all you need to find the HR Transactions you want to see. Advanced Search provides a more elaborate means to select a group of Transactions.
