3.0 Filtering and Sorting

Click the Query Definition button located on the top right-hand corner of the screen:

Click the green plus to create a filter using the OR statement. For example, if you want to filter for records where the Last Name is either Smith OR Jones, first add a filter on Last Name for Smith. Then, click the green plus and add a filter for Jones:

Use the Sort tab to change how columns are sorted:


4.0 Column Selection

Click the Display Fields tab to access the column selection screen:

The Available list box on the left contains columns available for selection. The Selected list box on the right contains columns that will appear on screen after the query is applied. Use the select/de-select arrows to add columns to or remove columns from the Selected list box:

Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to specify the order of the columns in the query result:

Add a column

Add all columns

Remove a column

Remove all columns


5.0 Exporting Data

5.1. Renaming Columns in an Export File

Click on the Export Fields Captions tab, and adjust the captions for the selected columns:

NOTE: The new captions will not be reflected on-screen; they will appear in the exported file.

5.2. Export Your Data

Click the Export all Data button located on the top right-hand corner of the screen:

From the Target File Type drop-down list, select either Microsoft Excel or CSV file. Next, enter a Description for your export, and click the Export button:


You will be returned to 3E, and the system will be available for use while your export request is processed. You will receive a notification e-mail when your file is ready to be retrieved:

Once you receive the notification e-mail, navigate to My Exports under the My Profile menu:

Click on the desired export document, and you may choose to either open it or save it to your computer:

NOTE: As indicated in the above screenshot, exported documents are available for 14 days.


6.0 Saving, Loading, and Deleting Query Definitions

6.1. Saving

The query settings illustrated in the previous sections may be saved as a “query definition” and applied later. To save a query definition, click the Save or Delete button in the lower left-hand corner of the window:

Enter a Name and an optional Description, and click the Save and Apply button.


6.2. Loading

NOTE: Saved query definitions are associated with a specific menu item. For instance, if you save a query definition on the Employee Deductions menu and want to load it later, you must first open the Employee Deductions menu to access the saved query definition. If you open, for example, the Employee Taxes menu, you will not find the saved query definition from the Employee Deductions menu. To load a previously saved query definition, navigate to the menu from where you saved the original query. Click the Query Definition button, and click the Load button in the lower left-hand corner of the window.

Click the name of the previously saved query definition to apply it.


6.3. Deleting

To delete a previously saved query definition, load the query definition as indicated above. Click the Query Definition button, and click the Save or Delete button in the lower left-hand corner of the window:

Click the Delete button:


7.0 Summary View

On the Display Fields tab, the Summary option allows you to group datasets and calculate the SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, or MAX of columns containing numeric values (e.g. Hours, Amounts, Rates, etc.). To use Summary View:

1. Click the Summary radio button. 2. From the Type drop-down list, select the calculation that you want to use: SUM,

AVERAGE, MIN, or MAX. 3. Optionally, click the checkbox labeled Display record count for each group to display

the number of records that have been grouped together. 4. Select the columns that you want to group and total. Columns that are capable of being

totaled are displayed in blue text. 5. Click the Apply button.

FOR EXAMPLE From the Payroll Entry Deductions menu, if you want to display the total Deduction Amount for each employee per pay date, use the following settings:


If you apply the above settings, you will receive each employee’s total Deduction Amounts per day date:

If you remove the Pay Date column from the Display Fields tab, you will receive each employee’s total Deduction Amount across all pay dates:

Even if a column is not present on screen, you may still add a Filter for it. For example, the Pay Date column is not present in the above screenshot, but you may still filter for a specific Pay Date in the Filter tab:

Applying the above filter produces the following result:


8.0 Payroll Entry Details

The Payroll Entry Details view allows you to view earnings, deductions, and taxes for a single paycheck on one line.

Access the Payroll Entry Details menu, and click the Query Definition button. In the Display Fields tab, scroll down the Available columns list until you see the Payroll Entry Details section:

The Payroll Entry Details section lists all the deduction amounts, earning amounts, earning hours, and tax amounts that are associated with your company. Select the desired columns and click Apply.


FOR EXAMPLE If you want to display the amounts for deductions K, K1, L, and ST for each paycheck, use the following settings:
