Based on your business needs, you may want to add new service providers to your private network from time to time. The Search option in Compliance Manager lets you search for and view both the brief and detailed profiles of service providers. You may then invite desired service providers to be part of your private network.

 Detailed Profile of a Service Provider

Should the service provider meet your requirements, you may invite the provider to your private network from the detailed profile.

When you apply a filter, a yellow sidebar appears next to it so you have a quick view of how your list is filtered. You may remove your filters  once you are done with your search.
