Search Help--Cost Object
You can access Atlas at https://atlas.mit.edu/
To search for a Cost Object Number, enter a partial Cost Object Number or a sequence of characters that appear in the Cost Object's Description. Use an asterisk ( * ) as the wildcard.
Search by Partial Cost Object Number: Enter the part of the number that you know following by an asterisk. For example, entering 11342* will retrieve all cost object numbers that begin with 11342 (1134201, 1134202, etc.)
Search for Characters in Cost Object Description: Enter a string of consecutive letters or numbers that appear in the cost object's description. For example, entering NUCLEAR* would retrieve cost object whose description began with NUCLEAR. Another example: entering BAMASI would retrieve all cost objects where the letters BAMASI appeared anywhere in the description.
