Managing Existing Suppliers

Written by Support

To manage a Supplier, please see the sections below:

Navigating the Suppliers List

1. Select the menu icon > Suppliers, located at the top left of the screen.

2. You can narrow down the supplier list using the Search or Filters options. Use Search, located at the top of the page, to find a specific Contractor. If you want to find a group of contractors, such as all non-compliant Contractors, use the Filters option instead.

The Search Bar allows you to find a Contractor by entering just a few letters or keywords, so you don't need to type the full name. If the contractor you are searching has special characters in their name (e.g &) you should try part of the company name rather than the full name as slight variations may impact the search results.

3. There are several Supplier filtering options available, including the Contractor Status and Contractor Categories. Choose the relevant options from the dropdown menus, then select Done to apply the filters.


​4. The filtered results will be shown with Filter Tags displayed below the Search Bar. You can remove them by selecting the cross or reset by selecting Clear all Filters.

5. If you need to generate a list of Suppliers for use externally, scroll to the bottom and select Download CSV.

Deactivate/Reactivate Supplier

  • The Account Status indicates whether the account is Active or Inactive. To deactivate a Supplier, select Edit Details below Contractor details. If the Supplier is already inactive, you can activate them in the same location

When a Supplier is deactivated, all dashboard alerts and email notifications will stop from your organisation. All workers in their account will also become inactive.

Compliance

The Suppliers details will display on the left hand menu. On the right is the compliance view. Adding or removing selections in this area will impact the Contractor compliance requirements.

Each selection has its own Status and Requirements. Once the requirements have been met for a specific selection, the status will update.
