Add a new donor to the accession record

Donor dialog

1. In the accession record edit page, open the Donor/Transferring body area and you click on the "Add new" hyperlink. A dialog will pop-up and you can enter the names and contact information for related donors using the donor dialog. The dialog allows you to include the donor name and give an alternative contact person.
2. Once you have completed entering the donor information click on the "Submit" button to save and return to the accession record edit template.
3. 

   Edit donor record using pencil icon or delete with x icon.
   You have the option to edit the donor information that you just entered by clicking on the Pencil Icon or delete the donor information you just entered by clicking on the X icon.
4. If you choose to add another donor to the accession record, simply click on the "Add new" hyperlink and another donor dialog will open for data entry.
5. You need to click on the "Create" button in the button block of the accession record to complete adding a new donor.

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.
