Last updated July 15, 2021 · Administrator

To add a vendor to the system:

  1. Navigate to Settings → Vendors from the top menu bar.
  2. Click Add Vendor (in the page action bar). A new page opens.
  3. Select the vendor type from the Type drop-down field.
  4. Enter the name, address and other important details of the vendor (these are the details of the vendor firm).
  5. Select the jobs that need to be assigned to this vendor.
  6. On the right section of the form, add a Vendor User (the contact person from the vendor firm who will work on jobs assigned to this vendor). At least one vendor user is required to register a vendor.
  7. Click Create to add the vendor.

The entry will appear in the list of vendors. You can edit, deactivate or remove the vendor user using the icons in the Actions column.

Additional info

  1. A vendor can have multiple vendor users working on the shared positions.
  2. The first vendor user registered for a vendor is called the Vendor Admin and has all admin controls for that vendor portal. Other registered vendor users automatically report to the Vendor Admin and can work on positions shared with this vendor.
  3. Vendor users can be created in the portal by you (the portal admin) or by the Vendor Admin.
  4. Vendor users can be activated or deactivated in the portal by you (the portal admin) or by the Vendor Admin.
  5. Only authorized, active vendor admins and vendor users can access the organization's vendor portal.
  6. Vendor users and candidates of one vendor are not visible to other vendors.
