When setting up clients who will be ordering appraisals on your Appraiser
XSite, it's best to start by creating a company to which individual users will
belong. To create a company for your clients...
- Access the Clients view in Mercury Network.
- Click Add then choose New Company.
- In the Contact Details window that appears, you'll find
many options for creating the new company. Many of these are self-explanatory,
but there are a few options that require extra attention:
- By default, the company will be set as Shared so it
will be visible to other authorized Mercury Network users. Un-check this box
to restrict visibility of this company to the current Mercury Network user
only. Generally, you'll want the contact to be shared.
- A contact would only be marked as ad hoc if it is not
meant to be a permanent contact. Typically, you will not want to mark a
company as ad hoc.
- Mark the Type of Contact that best describes the
company. All individual contacts added to this company will inherit this
contact type.
- In the Contacts in Company section, you can add
contacts directly to the company, edit contacts already in the company, or
delete contacts from the company. These actions can only be performed
after the company has been saved.
- After making any changes, remember to click Save in the
upper left to keep your changes.
