Changes to applicant quick search function via main menu

The applicant quick search function is accessed via the main menu:

• Click Applicant

• Use the search bar shown to the right to carry out a quick applicant search

  Open

  

• Only live applicants will be returned

• Archived applicants will not be included

Example

When searching for an archived applicant via applicant quick search:

• If the search does not return any matches, the option to click advanced search is offered

  Open

  

• OR, if the search does get live applicant matches, click Advanced Search at the bottom of the menu bar

  Open

  

• The Advanced Search screen is displayed pulling through the previous search term

  • Tick Archive
    Any archived applicants matching the search term are displayed on the right

Open

• Only one wildcard search is used in a search

• The wildcard is only applied to the end of the search term, rather than to every space within the search term/phrase, as done previously

Example

• Searching for ‘sam johns' will return results that match exactly and also those that start with the full search term (the wildcard is applied after 'johns’)

• Prior to this release, a wildcard would also be applied after the first name

  • For example, searching for ‘sam johns' would have returned the applicant in the example below, along with samuel johns, samantha johns, sami johns etc.

  • Searching will now only return applicants that contain 'sam johns' at the start of the search term

    Open

    

More intelligent logic is applied to the search term entered - matching the search type to the search text, where possible

• If the search includes a number, or a street suffix like Road, Avenue etc. - an address search is applied

• If the search includes a title (e.g. Mr), a name search is applied
