If you leave the fields blank, the search will return all reports.

When you click the "Search" button, the results will appear below the search form. To open a report, click on the Invention Report number.

To open the Utilization Report, click on "Manage" under the Action column.

You may also add a new Utilization Report from this page by clicking the "Add Utilization Report" button at the top of the window.

## 3. Modify any fields needing to be changed
