Adding a provider is easy to do. Start by clicking on the

· The Add Provider button

will become disabled.

· The Delete Provider button

will become disabled.

· The Edit button

will change to a Save button

· The Cancel button

will become enabled.

· All fields in the provider area will become editable.

· The Add Photo

button will appear on the bottom right corner of the Photo box.

The result of these changes is that new provider information can now be entered into the fields:

To enter a new provider's information:

Enter information in each of the fields. Note that the following fields are required:

· First Name

· Last Name

· Middle Name (minimum of middle initial)

· ID Number (can be employee # or other ID number)

· Department

When entering values with a pick list

, you may either enter a value that is not in the list or select a value by clicking the downward facing triangle on the right side of the pick list. As you enter new values they will automatically be added to the list.

ID Numbers must be unique. If you enter an ID number that has already been entered, Guardian will prompt you to use a different ID number. For this reason, ID numbers should be based on a unique value like Employee Number.
