  • (a) creating a computer readable database with a record for each possible assignment, each record including more than six data elements which data elements each specify a characteristic of the assignment;

    (b) receiving input from an employee at a computer terminal specifying a first set of criteria, searching the database for a first group of records whose data elements meet all the criteria, copying the first group of records to a memory;

    (c) displaying to the employee information showing the number of records in the first group;

    (d) receiving input from the employee at the computer terminal specifying a second set of criteria, searching the database for qualifying records whose data elements meet all the criteria, comparing the records to those already in the memory, and copying to the memory, as a second group of records, those qualifying records which are not already in the memory.
