Overview

The Title query allows the user to view detailed information on a specific title.  It can also compare information on two different titles side-by-side.  When this “title compare” feature is used, CAMPS will indicate whether movement between those two titles would be a promotion, demotion, etc.

TO ACCESS TITLE INFORMATION

1. From the Menu Bar, select Queries.  The SELECT QUERY screen will display.


2. From the “Select Query” drop-down menu, select 02-Title, and click SUBMIT.  The TITLE Lookup screen will display.

THE TITLE LOOKUP SCREEN

This screen actually performs two functions: 1) It can be used to display title information on a specific title, or 2) it can be used to compare two different titles.  These two functions can be performed independent of each other; however, in most cases, the Search function is used as a precursor to the Compare function.

  THE SEARCH FUNCTION

The user may search for a title by either Title Code or Title Name.

To Search by Title Code

Position the cursor on the Title Code field.  Type the title code of the requested title.  A partial search may be done by typing only a few digits of the title code.  The system will display those title codes that contain the characters entered in the Title Code field.

To Search by Title Name

Position the cursor on the Title Name field.  Type a full or partial title name, being sure to spell out each word completely.  The system will display both the full and abbreviated versions of all titles that match the search criteria entered.

For example, typing “administrative analyst” will display the following:

• ADMINV ANLT
• SENIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
• ADM ANALYST HOSP & MED LIBRN

After completing the appropriate information, click SEARCH.  The system will display the titles, and their associated title codes, that meet the search criteria entered.

To select a particular title, click on the SELECT column to the left of the title name.  A TITLE DETAIL pop-up window will display.

THE TITLE DETAIL WINDOW

The Title Detail Window will display the Title Code and Title Name of the requested title.  Below this section is additional information about the title, such as its Class Code, Education Code, Salary Range, Title Status, etc.

This window is meant for display purposes only; none of the fields are keyable.  To close the window, click on the CLOSE WINDOW button, or select the red “X” in the upper right-hand corner of the window.

 THE COMPARE FUNCTION

After closing the Title Detail Window, the title code for the selected title will display in the Title Code 1 field.  When doing a compare, this should be the employee’s current title.

To complete the Compare function, clear the left column of any remaining data, and follow the above procedures to search for a second title – the employee’s “going to” title.  After closing the detail window, the title code for the second title will display in the Title Code 2 field.

Be sure the Trans Eff Date field matches the date of the transaction for which you are comparing titles.

• It is NOT necessary to perform a search (i.e. using the left column to locate a title) prior to comparing titles.  You may simply enter a title code in both the Title Code 1 and Title Code 2 fields.

After the Title Code 1 and Title Code 2 fields have been populated, click COMPARE TITLES to display a Title Comparison window.  The system will also display the transaction type (promotion, demotion, etc.) that must be used to move from one title to the other.
