Award Module Overview

Content Introduction: 

This tutorial will give you an overview of the information available in the Award module.

 

The Award module is usually accessed by choosing Maintain > Awards from the menu bar or by clicking on the shortcut button:

After performing a search for an award, select the award you wish to display from the search results, then open it by double-clicking on it or clicking on the display button:

The Award’s information will appear in a new window. Note that the window's title bar tells you that you are displaying an award, the award's number, and its sequence number. You'll also notice that this window has several tabs across the top. Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to use the scroll arrows to see all of the tabs (or it may be possible to maximize the Coeus window).

The tabs help to logically group the information. A picture of the information available on each tab is below. Notes are provided for clarification.
