Add a Custom Trade

Objective

To add trade names from the Company level Admin tool.

Background

Adding trade names to your company allows you to associate companies in the company or project Directory with specific trades. Once you do this, you can filter your company record when creating and managing a tender in the project's Tendering tool. A company record can have as many trade associations as needed.
