Users use Talent Search by selecting one or several criteria, some of which may have a picklist or require specific inputs. To prepopulate certain fields, a tag (prepopulate="true") can be added to the Data Model (see code below).
1234
<standard-element id="jobCode" max-length="128" required="true" matrix-filter="false" pre-populate="true">
<label>Job Code</label>
</standard-element>
Once you’ve entered the criteria for the search, choose Search and you are taken to the Search Results screen. From the results screen, you can add more criteria or use the faceted filters to further refine your results. You can also choose Modify Search to return to the main Talent Search criteria screen and change your criteria. Other options available from the Search Results Screen are described further in the Utilizing the Talent Search Results and Toolbar lesson.
To include inactive users in your search, the administrator must complete these two steps:
- To grant access to the inactive field, enable it within the talent field permission section of role-based permissions.
- Choose Settings and select the checkbox to include inactive users.
The inactive users option can be useful. For example, if you want to search for terminated contract employees who you may want to bring back for another project.
When the basic information standard element fields are used in the criteria, an OR search is performed. Employees that match any of the criteria you’ve entered will be selected. If you want to find employees that meet all of the different search criteria you entered, from the Search Results screen enable the "Exact Match" option.
