Create a Run Control ID

The first time you run a report you must create a Run Control ID.  Run Control IDs are used whenever a process is run in PeopleSoft. They allow you to create, save and reuse a list of reports. Only you will see the Run Controls you create. If you already have a Run Control ID, enter it here.

Add A New Value Tab

After you have created Run Control IDs for this process, you will select the Find an Existing Value tab to look up the Run Control IDs. When you select a Run Control ID, it will take you directly to the page to run the process associated with it. If you only have one Run Control ID, the system will take you immediately to the Run Control page for that process when you select the Find an Existing Value tab.
