Searching for an Employee

Feature Overview

On larger staff rosters, finding a specific employee by scrolling through the full list can be time-consuming. The search bar on the Staff page lets you filter the roster in real time by typing any part of an employee's name — instantly narrowing the list to the records that match.

Prerequisites / Requirements

• Your account must have Staff edit permissions or Full GEM access.
• More than one employee should exist in the roster for the search to be useful.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. On the Staff page, locate the Search input field at the top of the staff list.
2. Click into the search field and begin typing the employee's first or last name.
3. The roster filters in real time as you type, showing only employees whose names match the characters you have entered.
4. Click on the matching employee in the filtered list to open their profile.
5. To clear the search and return to the full roster, delete the text in the search field.

Common Troubleshooting / FAQs

Q: I typed an employee's name but they are not appearing in the search results. Double-check the spelling of the name as entered in their Katalyst profile. If the employee's name was saved with a nickname or alternate spelling, search for that version instead. Also verify you are searching in the correct restaurant location if managing multiple locations.

Q: There is no search bar on the Staff page. The search bar may only appear when there are enough employees in the roster to warrant it, or it may not be visible on all account configurations. If you are managing a large team and the search bar is missing, contact Katalyst support to report the issue.
