2. Enter the user's name, user's ID, or EIN in the User text box.

The search bar is not case sensitive, and full or partial entries can be in either a first last or last, first format. The comma is necessary in the last, first format. A full user name or ID number can also be entered into the search bar. Searching for "ro" will pull every user whose first or last name begins with "ro" into the search results.

3. Click More Search Options to search for groups of users with similar information in any number of user fields and/or user data.

To clear search parameters and start over, click the Reset button.
