An employee either types data into fields or selects data from lists. A search feature lets an employee type letters in the query form and use a percent sign as a wildcard to represent the missing letters.

The system displays only the options that contain the letters entered, as shown in the following figure.

The system returns a line of data about each invoice or situation that fits the parameters entered. Each line usually includes a link to the relevant document image or to a details window that summarizes key data from the Oracle record.

Query results often reference specific periods of elapsed time, which is expressed as days:hours:minute:seconds.
