The phone rings… The call display reads “Legal Department”… You gasp… Your shaky hand picks up the phone…  The dreaded words, “we need some help… ” Fade to black…

Over the years we have worked with many clients who come to us in a panic saying, “We have a litigation coming up for a former employee; we need all hiring records for them!”

Have you ever been faced a challenge where you need to use TCC to export a list that pulls data from two separate groups? Standard drag and drop filtering in a TCC export file specifies a logical AND, meaning that all filters must be true for a result to be retrieved.  In the example below, both Filter 1 and Filter 2 would need to evaluate to true:

For those of you Taleoites who may have missed this year’s OHUG conference in Orlando, FL, there were a few things of note.
