PEOPLESOFT QUERY VIEWER Query is a tool that enables users to extract information from the PeopleSoft database based on criteria defined by the user.  Query Viewer allows users to review and/or print queries.   Writing queries requires training and experience.  If queries are inefficiently written, they could slow down the entire system.  Initially, the ability to create queries will reside with specific users in Financial Services.  If end users need certain information that they are not getting from current reports, it may be possible that a specialized query could help.  Please notify Tony Pasquariello in Financial Services (x36028) for University queries and Rhonda Livingston in SUF Accounting (x36392) for Foundation queries.  Query writing may be rolled out to some end users.  Until that occurs, end users will have access to Query Viewer.  Navigation: Reporting Tools à Query à Query Viewer Enter search criteria (e.g., SU), select  and a list of all queries meeting that search criteria appears. Select a particular query and a preview of the current results appears.     The Query can be rerun or downloaded to Excel using the above links.  Because some queries may take a long time to run (which could affect system performance), these queries may have to be scheduled to run off-hours.
