Cumulative Search

Each time entries are made to the Job Selections and the button located at the bottom left side of the window is pressed, the search criteria is added to the existing search and the search prompts are blanked out so new entries can be made.  This method enables you to perform searches such as different ranges of jobs, different ranges of jobs with different selection criteria, etc.

After Job Selections have been made and the user presses the button, the search is added to the current search and the cumulative search image appears on the tab to show you that you have added the search criteria to the existing search.  The example below shows that search criteria has been added to the existing search by the appearing on the Job Selections tab:

When you press OK, the search request is prepared and the Job Selections window closes.  If you enter back into Job Selections during the same session, the Job Selections window will show the last entered search criteria.  You can press the button to clear the last entered search and make new entries, or leave the criteria as is and add to the existing entries. 

If you press the OK button without the cumulative search icon displayed, the search criteria last entered is the only search that will be made.  Any previous cumulative searches are lost.
