Adding New Affiliates

Within the "Affiliates" tab, you should be able to see two options for adding new affiliates into the system:

New Corporate Affiliate
New Individual Affiliate

New Corporate Affiliate:

Should the affiliate you wish to add to the system be an entire company, you should select the "New Corporate Affiliate" option.

Once selected, you will be presented with a window labeled "Choose Existing Company" (displayed below). Here, you can fill in the "Companies Search Criteria" form with information about the desired company.

Once you have completed the form to your liking, click "Search." A list of companies meeting the specified criteria will then appear at the bottom of the screen, from which you can select the sought after company, should it already be stored in the CRM (Contact Relationship Management) database.

If the company is not already stored in your CRM system, you will have to add the company before proceeding any further.

In order to do so, simply click on the green "Add" icon located in the upper right-hand corner of the lower table.

In the form that appears, simply fill out the provided fields with the company's information and click "Save".

Then, in order to go on and add the company as a corporate affiliate, you will have to search for the company using the initial "Companies Search Criteria" form, as previously described, and select its name from the list of results.
