Intro
Sometimes you want to search for a single person by name; at other times, you may want to see a group of people all at once. A common case is when you want to see the name of everyone who works in a particular store, company, shop or department. For this example, we’ll search for everyone who works at “Big Shop.” Here’s how:Search for people by workplace
Build a simple search to find all the workers at a certain workplace (whether it’s a store, company, shop or department).-
Start your search by clicking the search builder button in the search bar at the top of the page.
-
A Search builder panel will appear below the search box, already showing one starter rule set to Employer (in or below) — which is exactly the field we want.
-
If you ever need a different field, click the rule’s field button to open the field picker. You can browse the grouped list (Employer (in or below) lives under Department Structure), or bring the choice up even quicker by typing “employer” into the Search fields box at the top of the picker.
- Leave the middle drop-down box as it is, with “contains the word(s)” selected. (This drop-down box contains what’s called the “operator”. We’ll cover other operator choices in more depth in another article in the knowledge base.)
- Type “Big Shop” into the value box to the right of the operator.
- Click the Search button.
-
All the workers who have an employment at Big Shop will appear in the Search Results panel.
- Congratulations on building a custom search! You can learn about creating more complex searches, including searches that combine multiple rules, in the Build an advanced search section of the knowledge base.
