When first looking at a PERC Registration, you'll notice that no Organization information is present on a PERC form (as previously stated in this guide). Again, PERC Organizations are shell records for the Principle Investigator (PI). First, you'll want to follow the text from this section of the guide to check whether or not an organization record already exists for this PERC Registration. If you've confirmed that a matching record does NOT already exist for this PI, then you begin the process of creating a PERC organization record.
To begin the process, click on the "Connect" button to the right of the "Organization" section in the registration. See also the screenshot below.
Clicking the "Connect" button will pull up a window similar to the one found in the screenshot below. Again, because the PERC Registrations does NOT include any section for Organization name, the "Organization Name" field will be blank. You may very well see one or several false positive "Matches" in the bottom section of this window; ignore these unless one of the matches has the same name as the PI who attempted to register. To begin creating the new organization record in earnest, click on the "Create New Record" button found in the middle of the window (see also the screenshot).
