Lookup Fields

Create, edit, or delete entries from lookup fields, including Pay Points, Locations, Job Classifications, and Employment Types

Updated this week

There are several drop-down fields (e.g. Pay Point, Location, Job Classification, Employment Type) that have customised lists. Users can add new entries, edit existing one, or delete items from list.
​
These fields include:

  • Annualised Salary Import Source

  • Employment Type

  • Gender

  • IQ Type

  • Job Classification (maximum 50 characters)

  • Location

  • Marital Status

  • Pay Class Group

  • Pay Point

  • Payroll Tax Category

  • Public Holiday

  • Rate Increase Code

  • Title

New entries can be created or added in two ways:

  • Typing directly into the field

  • Lookup Tables

To edit or delete existing entries, you will need to use Lookup Tables.

To add a new entry from the Employee record:

  1. Go to Payroll, Maintenance, Employees, Employees.

  2. Select the details page, e.g. Pay Details.

  3. Click into the field and type the new entry.

  4. Press tab to move to the next field and save the new entry to the drop-down list.

To add, edit, or delete an entry from Lookup Tables:

Agents with administration access can access Lookup Tables. Not all fields have the delete option, e.g. Job Classification. As an alternative, you can edit the entry and re-use an old one instead of creating a new one or add a descriptive such as DNU (Do Not Use) to the start. To force entries to the bottom of the list, add ZZZ or similar to the start.

  1. Go to Access MicrOpay Evo Administration, System Configuration, Lookup Tables.

  2. Select the list to be updated from Name on the left side.

  3. To update:

    • Click Add for new entries.

    • Select the item, then click Edit or Delete to update or remove existing entries.

  4. Close the window. This will save the change.
