How to Add and Assign Company Types

This article was developed to describe how to add and assign the various company types established in the CRM.

Company types are used for labeling, with the exception of "external company" which shows the logo and company information that a client sees in their client portal. In addition, using company-type assignments grants enrollment visibility.

This article is broken down into the following sections:

• Enabling Company Addition and Assignment
• Standard Company Type Descriptions
• Adding Company Types
• Assigning Company Types

Enabling Company Addition and Assignment

To have access to manage the listing of company types, begin by going to the Admin tab, and clicking "Roles" from the Navigation Bar.

Select the role that you wish to have this access granted to from the dropdown menu located at the top left of the page (see below).
 

Next, scroll down to the Admin section, and ensure that the checkbox next to the entry titled, "Manage Company Types" is selected (see below).

Scroll back up to the top of the page, and click "Save" in the Navigation Bar.

NOTE: By changing the dropdown menu option, certain checkboxes may be already selected according to the category chosen.

This dialog box allows you to create additional company types for exclusive use within your account. To add a new type, click the "Add a Company Type" button on the lower left (see the image above). To delete a particular company type, click the white dash in a red circle next to the listing you wish to delete.

The company types that you create here will be available in the CRM when you create a new company as seen below:

All other Company Types are created by clients themselves and are for use within their account only.

Assigning Company Types
