The Sponsor Lookup screen provides a way for you to search for Sponsor maintenance document table records in the KC database. They exist to provide identifying and contact information for research project sponsors that can be viewed and/or selected from other areas of KC, including within e-docs.
•
Create New: From the lookup screen, you are also able to
create a new Sponsor maintenance document by clicking the create new button at the top, right of
the screen (when you have appropriate permissions).
• Criteria Area: The search criteria area displays entry and selection fields that allow you to refine your search and more narrowly limit the resulting records that are found and displayed.
• Results Table: From the retrieved results, you are then able to view pertinent (but not all) information in table format with sortable columns that appears below the search criteria area.
• Drill-Down Result Links: In addition to viewing the results, information displayed in some columns are underlined, which indicates that you can also click on them to “drill down” to display additional details.
The link to the Sponsor Lookup screen is called Sponsor in the Miscellaneous group on the Maintenance menu.
