In the Admin module, anyone granted the access right of System Administrator can add a sponsor or update a sponsor. The System Administrator role is given to the users that are part of the Insight Help Desk. In addition, System Administrators can grant access to this page to users.
On this page the user can search for any sponsor in the Insight database by Name or Short Name. To find a sponsor, enter search criteria and click the ‘Search’ button. The results are returned in the grid, which can be paged through if necessary.
If no results are found, an error message will display on the page:
No sponsors found matching the search criteria.
Click on the sponsor’s name in the grid to populate the textboxes below with the sponsor’s information. From there, the user can make a change to the sponsor and click on Submit.
To add a new Sponsor, the user adds the required fields (Name, Short Name and Sponsor Type) and clicks Submit.
The change or addition will be saved in the Insight database along with the InfoEd database. When an update or addition is made, an email alerts the Insight HelpDesk.
