# Search for a Person

Search across all locations for a person. This is a good way to find someone if you need to make a change to their *Person Information* screen, such as changing their address, phone, photo, etc. The *Person Search* may be especially useful if you have multiple locations and want direct access to the person’s information regardless of the location.

## Getting There

From the *Procare Home* screen go to *Utilities > Search All Locations > Person Search*.

## Search for a Person

1. Choose how to search such as a *First Name* that *Contains* whatever you type, or only an item that *Starts With* or *Ends With* your entry.

**Example**: Searching for a first name that *Starts With* “t” might return Tom, Tina and Trevor, while searching for anything that *Contains* “t” might return those as well as Brett, Martin and Elizabeth.

1. Type in the thing for which you are searching (for example the person’s name, or just a few letters of their name) and click *Find*.
2. People that match your criteria will be displayed showing the *School Name* (location) where they may be found.
3. To view or change the information for that person dbl-click their name to open the [Person Information](/procare-desktop/docs/person-information) screen.
