To find a person:
- Enter either the person's first or last name or full name in the appropriate fields. Use either upper or lower case; this search is not case sensitive.
Wild cards: If you are not sure of the spelling of a name, you may use an asterisk (*). For example, if you are looking for a PI named Smith, but you are not really sure whether it is Smith or Smythe, in the Last Name field, type sm*. This should result in a list of all last names beginning with "sm" from which you can then pick the correct person.
- Click Search.
Result: A list of all the people fitting your search query appears, below the search fields. - From the list, click on the person you want to choose.
Result: You return to the screen you were on and the name you selected will appear in the appropriate field.
