You may also view associated details for each inactive invitation; the details are the same as for active invitations, except that the profile completion information is available only for active invitations.

You can perform various actions on inactive invitations, such as

  • Changing expiration dates for expired invitations
  • Exporting invitations
  • Deleting invitations

Changing Expiration Date

After an invitation expires, you may extend the expiration date to allow the service provider more time to respond. Note that changing the expiration date does not alert the service provider; we recommend sending a custom message to the provider notifying that the expiration date has been extended.

Note: You cannot change expiration date for an Accepted invitation, since the service provider was accepted into your network.
