Run to HTML

  1. Click the HTML link. This option executes the query and displays the results at the bottom of the page. 

  2. Some queries may prompt the user for Run Control parameters.  This helps define the information you wish to retrieve.  The screen print below shows a prompt page for the UW_AM_ABS_NOT_APPRVD_FAASLI query.  For this particular query, the Run Control parameters required are the Department ID as well as Begin and End Dates.  The magnifying glass will provide a list if you need to look up the specific value to enter.
