Each form in [{$applicationname}] provides records to users based on certain criteria. The purpose of this paper is to outline methods of refining the records available from the Find Block/List and to provide instruction on the methods of using the query tool from the form toolbar.

Each form in ePersonality has the ability to perform queries based on the “Find” associated to the form. The find can be found as a header on each function in ePersonality. The find determines the criteria when filtering records on the form.\\
Many forms throughout ePersonality utilize the same find block. Looking at all the employee screens you can see that they utilize a common find.\\ \\
[FindingRecords_06.jpg]\\ \\
The find on each form can be customized at the form level (Individual screen) or at system level (all screens that use a common find block) to meet search criteria requirements.\\ \\
[FindingRecords_07.jpg]\\ \\
This find is called “FIND_EEM”. In most cases the find being used by a form can be found by looking up function definition on IMFN. If the form is using a Find Block it will be listed in the “FIND LOV” field.\\ \\
Once the name of the “Find LOV” has been identified it can be maintained on the IMLOVL form.\\ \\

In some cases there may be forms that do not utilize a find block. These forms have pre-loaded finds loaded directly on the form itself and typically are not employee related. Forms that have the find located directly on the form can be changed using object security (To remove fields not required) and IMFD to add additional fields.\\ \\

#Determine the name of the find that is to be edited on the desired functions (IMFN). In the example we will use the FIND_EEM and will be adding the government code as part of the search criteria
#Open the IMLOVL once the name of the find has been determined.
c) Deep copy the original find.
 Rename the find in a manner suitable to your needs. (In this case we will rename the find FIND_EEM_EXT)
 Change the LOV Usage from “Pre-Loaded to “User Defined”
 Populate the Replacing LOV field with the name of the original find (in this case FIND_EEM)
 Add the search criteria field. The sequence is important as it determines where the new search criteria will be displayed. (In this case it is the EID_ID.GOVERNMENT_CODE field)

In some cases there may be a requirement to change the Find Block/List for an individual form only. In this situation both the Find Block/List and the form must be duplicated and marked as “User Created” (otherwise they will be over written on a future release).
Using the same example as above the government code field will be added as a search criteria on the IEAS only.
