Sponsor Search
Note: If you are associated with only one Sponsor, you will be unable to access the Sponsor Search screen. The system will always default to the Sponsor’s data.
For most CACFP functions, you must search for and select a Sponsor using the Sponsor Search function before beginning any task. When the Sponsor Search screen displays, you can search for the Sponsor using all or part of the Sponsor’s ID, Name, or any other combination of parameters provided on this screen.
To search for a Sponsor
1. On the menu bar, select Search. Then select Sponsor Search. [If the Sponsor Search screen is already displayed, begin at Step 2.] The Sponsor Search screen displays.
2. Enter search parameters (see table for additional information on using the search parameters).
3. Select Search.
4. Select the Sponsor you wish to access.

TIP: The Sponsors List displays based upon the search criteria entered. If no selections were made, the list displays all available Sponsors with the designated status (default is “Active”). To display all Sponsors, leave all search parameters blank and select Search. |
Note: Users will only see Sponsors associated with their user account.
The search parameters follow a specific set of rules. These are described in the following table.
If the type of search is identified as “includes”, the system will search for any Sponsor that includes the parameter in any portion of the selected field. For example, if the user entered “386” in the Sponsor ID parameter, the system will retrieve Sponsors with Sponsor IDs of “00386” and “01386”.
If the type of search is “exact match”, the system will search only for any Sponsor that exactly matches the parameter. For example, if the user selected “Collin” in the County parameter, the system will retrieve all Sponsors associated with the county of Collin.
