 Concatenated Field

Definition

A field consisting of two or more fields that can be used as a selection field for reports in Human Resources . Concatenated fields can consist of key fields and/or data fields.

Use

Just like ordinary fields, concatenated fields can be used as selection criteria for executing reports. You can enter the values you require in full, using a generic search (that is, using *), or using a masked search (that is, using +).

If you want to use a concatenated field as a selection field, choose Further selections and insert it in the selection screen.

Example

You use the personnel area/personnel subarea/cost center concatenated field as a selection field on the report selection screen.

  • Complete entry

If you enter 100022221234567890 , the report runs for all of the persons who belong to personnel area 1000, personnel subarea 2222, and cost center 1234567890.

  • Generic entry

If you enter 1000* , the report runs for all of the employees in personnel area 1000.

  • Masked entry

If you enter 1000++++1234567890 , the report runs for all of the employees who belong to personnel area 1000 and – irrespective of the personnel subarea – cost center 1234567890.
