Security measures in Fibi necessitate different searches to behave slightly differently. Special characters can be used in all fields, however using them in some searches may cause no results.
Basically, special characters CAN be used in any elastic search field (those with a magnifying glass). However, using special characters while performing an Advanced search will return no results.
The document below will show the fields in which special characters will work, and those that will not.
The Dashboard is customizable which means the user can add and remove widgets that appear. If too many widgets are turned on, this can slow down the loading. Go to the Configure Dashboard button and turn off unnecessary widgets.

If the lead unit does not automatically populate, the PD creator does not have access to the PI’s lead unit. Users can create PD records only for cost centers in which they have roles.
The lead unit can be entered manually and should reflect the lead unit/cost center required for the proposal. The lead unit is 8 digits and it must match the first 8 digits of the SAP Responsible CC (10 digits) entered on the Other tab. If not, the user will get an error and will not be able to submit the record for approval.
The Lead Unit can be changed manually. Simply type the correct unit number (the first 8 digits of the SAP RCC (Responsible Cost Center).
When an action does not require a full proposal development record, it is completed as a Service Request. See Proposal and Service Request Types for more information on how to complete Service Requests.

In elastic fields for names, the user should enter the information using the following format: last name, first name. The PI can also be searched by entering the JHEDID.
If the PI can still not be found, reach out to your HR contact and ask that a mini master be created for the individual in SAP. SAP feeds the information to Fibi, so if a PI is new to Hopkins, it may take time for this to be completed. This is true for all Key personnel.
