Simply Answers HR software will completely ignore the employees who are not able to see the information and will show a ‘0’ value instead for the salary.
Simply Answers HR system checks the existing job record to figure out which department and the location the employee is in. If there is not a current job record found then Simply Personnel will of course ignore the record of the employee.

A Simple Query
There are three sections to Simply Answers HR software. The first is a tree of fields that can be queried. The second is a result grid and the third is the display to be used for the query that contains Structured Query Language. In order to start your query you need to click on the ‘+’ sign and it will open the tree and you can double click on the Surname field. The Surname field will be added into the section defined ‘SQL to be used for this query.’ Now click on the ‘Run Query’ button located on the toolbar. When you do you should see the query results and you could still choose to add on more fields just by double clicking on a different field. In this case you would double click on the Firstname field then run the query once again. To begin with a fresh query just click on the ‘New Query’ button. This clears the query results and SQL sections are ready for you to select the new fields. At this point in the process you could also choose to print the query results or export them into Excel.

Grouping and Sorting
You can sort and group queries right within Simply Answers HR software.
Look at an example:
You will see the results change to grouping employees by gender. A helpful and resourceful count of both male and female employees is given to you. You can un-group them by dragging the Gender button off of the ‘group by section’ and then you are back to your normal query view. To sort a column just click on the header of that column and it will change the sort order. You also have the ability to sort multiple columns by holding down the shift key while you select individual columns.

Totals and Counts
Any column that is provided in Simply Answers HR software can have a basic total applied to it.
Let’s view an example:
You will be able to view the results now. At this point you might also see values for pay shown more than one time for same employees but this is only because the query is giving you both current and historic salary values. Click the Formula symbol, looks like an ‘E’, on the pay column and then select the option to see the Minimum, Maximum, Average and Sum. Once you press OK you will probably have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the query page, then enlarge the Pay column size so you can see the returned values. You can view the same values shown with the Gender Group by dragging the Gender column, while in the results section, over to the group by section called ‘Drag a column header here to group by that column.’ If you want to un-group just simply drag the Gender button back off of the group and you will be returned to your normal query view.

Filtering
You can quickly and easily filter the results by choosing the filter option on any of the columns.
Let’s view an example:
You will notice the results that are returned. Now you might see values of the same employee shown multiple times but this is only because the query is returning both current and historic pay values. Click on the Formula symbol, which looks similar to an E, and select to see the Average, Maximum, Minimum or Sum. Once you’ve pressed OK you may have to scroll down the end of the query, enlarge the pay column so you can see the actual values that were returned. In the section of the results drag the gender column over to the group labeled ‘drag a column header here to group by that column.’ Now you can see the same values shown in the Gender Group. If you would like to un-group you just drag the gender button off the group and you will be returned to your normal view of the query.
