Add Findings

Adding a new finding to a group is almost identical to editing a finding. The only difference is that you must first select the institution and group to which you want to add the findings; when editing a group, you've already made those two selections.

1.  Click Groups > Add Findings. The Add Findings window opens.

2.  Select the Institution.

3.  Select the Group.

NOTE: Field names followed by an asterisk (*) are required.
