To select one or more users to include in the selection
- Click the browse icon next to the Users field. The User Selector page opens on top of the page you called it from. Any users already selected in the Users field are included in the Selected box in the User Selector.
- Enter or select criteria to filter the search for users (you can use advanced search syntax in the User ID / Name / E-mail field).
