NOTE: A gear icon 
next to a field or option in this list indicates that it is either optional (and therefore not automatically available in all AWARDS databases), or that some aspect of it (for example drop-down selection lists) is configurable.

To request some or all of the configuration options detailed there, complete the form and submit it to [email protected].

The selected worker's name is then displayed as a read-only value.
