I need to create an Employee Group that has a number of criteria. One of the requirements is that an employee can be a member of the group if they DON'T have a specific UserField value.

For Example, something like:

Union=N
UserField "Vesting" = from 1 to 9
OR
Union=N
UserField "Vesting" {does not exist}

Is there a way to do this? Can I use *BLANK as the value or something?

Thanks!

Would this work?

Include: Union=N
Include: UserField "Vesting" = from 1 to 9

OR

Include: Union=N
Exclude: UserField "Vesting" = from 1 to 9

Hi Karen,

Ahhh...that makes sense. The issue is that there may be other valid "Vesting" values above 9 - like 10, 27, 44, etc. - that aren't between 1 and 9 and that I would not want it to include. I suppose if I 'exclude' all the possible valid values for "Vesting", then that would be perfect! Something like this:

Include: Union=N
Include: UserField "Vesting" = from 1 to 9

OR

Include: Union=N
Exclude: UserField "Vesting" = from 0 to 999

I think that will work. I'll have to test to be sure. Thanks!

I would actually build one group that has criteria to include everyone with the values you want excluded from the group. Then use that group as criteria in your final group to exclude them. Because you may want to include anyone with no value in the user field, this may be your best method.

Thanks Dave. That's another good option. I'll explore this as well.

Thanks! Kelly
