Search Parameters (Slots)
 
This section of the help file will discuss how to open and use the different Search Parameters to change what requests you can view on the Slot-Based Homepage.
 
The Search Parameters window is exceptionally useful for locating slots belonging to a single hospital so that you can schedule a rotation, but is also useful for locating slots you wish to release, locating rotations that are scheduled but not finalized, and many other slot situations that require attention.
 
To open the Search Parameters window, begin by clicking on the Sandwich Icon in the upper-left part of the page.
 
The Search Parameters will open on the left-side of the page.  Each of these Parameters has been defined to the right of the table.

Once you've set your search parameters, click on the yellow "Search" button to refresh the home page with the new criteria.
Note: The site will save your search parameters for the duration of your login. To pull up the default parameters, you will need to reset the search menu, or will have to log out and back in.
