   Note –

   The system administrator can choose whether to display the EUID field or the local ID and system fields on this page. Any values entered into these optional fields take precedence over information entered into other search fields. For example, if an invalid EUID is entered but valid first and last names are entered, no results are returned due to the invalid EUID. The EUID field takes precedence over the local ID and system fields.
