Sorting and Finding

The Worklist Manager has a sort function to enable you to sort your worklist in a way that makes it convenient for you to work. The default sort order is by origination date with the oldest transactions at the top of the list. Still, if you wanted to take care of all Applicant Hires first before moving on to new Job Requisitions, you could sort by Process.

Origination Date This is the default sort order. Use the Origination Date selection in the Sort By pull down to return to this sort order after sorting with different criteria
Originator

Lists the items in alphabetical order by last name of the originator. Great for finding all the pending transactions from a particular originator.

ID Number Sorts by identificaton number. The type of ID number varies by the transaction type. Great for scanning quickly for a particular ID number.
Process Sorting by Process lists the transactions grouped by the type of transaction (create a position, create a job requisition, etc.) in alphabetical order. Great for taking care of all of one kind of transaction before moving on to the next kind of transaction.

Searching

The Worklist Manager does not currently have a built-in Search function. Instead, we recommend using your browser's Find function.

In Internet Explorer, access this function by going to Edit>Find (on this page) or pressing Ctrl+F. Type your search criteria and click "Find Next".

The browser find function can be used to find any text on the page, so it's especially useful for finding transaction ID numbers, names, effective dates, or a key word from the Remarks.

Can't find an item you're supposed to approve?

There are a couple of possible reasons for this:

  • The originator may have recalled or deleted the transaction.
  • Another approver with your role may have already taken action.

In either case, you no longer need to take action on that work item.
