7. 

   Browse donor list
   You can also navigate to the Browse donor screen and see your new donor's name in the list.

Depending upon your workflow, you might want to add donors to ICA-AtoM during the accession process or you might want to add donors to ICA-AtoM as a separate process. The first approach is the easiest and most logical. The second approach requires you to create the donor and then add the donor to the accession record - this approach also requires that you have donors existing in the database, otherwise you cannot browse the list and "add a new" donor.
