Managing Private Notes, Rating, and Vendor ID

Compliance Manager provides you with Private Notes and Rating features that help all users in your company gain better performance insight of individual service providers. You may also add private notes for invitations.

Private Notes and Rating details are visible only to the users in your company, and not to service providers.

You may also assign a unique Vendor ID to each service provider, as often times Vendor ID is required for invoicing and accounting purposes.

Private Notes

You may add or remove notes for service providers/invitations from the provider/invitation listing in the corresponding sections of Compliance Manager.
