Searching for Tasks

Tasks can be grouped or queried based on various information within the task. These powerful tools should be used to organize tasks by date, task type, worker, manager, and various other options. Review the setting options within the EBMS Configuration and Setup section to organize the MyTime home page or task lists.

MyTime includes the ability to conduct a general search for tasks by clicking on the search button within the MyTime navigator bar.

The search tool is a powerful tool to search for a task using a variety of search criteria:

• Enter a task number to open a task or tasks based on the task number.
• Enter the worker ID code or name to open all tasks for a specific worker. Note that the worker name is not included in the stored task record so the worker's name will not be useful in the search criteria.
• Enter the attached serial number to view all tasks that are associated with a specific serial or VIN number. This allows the user to quickly review any open tasks for a piece of equipment, vehicle, or other serialized item.
• Enter the service technician's worker ID to list tasks for a technician.
• Enter a keyword that is located on the description line.
• Use a combination of information such as a worker ID and worker ID. Example: DOEJOH JEFMIK
• Use a combination such as the worker ID and a keyword to find a specific task.

The search will list the 20 most recent tasks based on the search requirement. Refine the search criteria if the desired tasks do not show on the search results list.

Look for the search button throughout the system and use it to enter key words, ID codes, or other information to search for the desired record.
