Sample Narrative:

Open Issues:


  • Should people who are already participants show up in the search results? Leaving them out could prove annoying in situations where the Administrator does not know that the party they're looking for is already a participant. Including existing participants, with some sort of flag indicating that they're already participants (and linking to the "View/Administer a single participant" page (PSRV-00052) may make more sense.
