Additional Information

For additional information on the creation of service providers please refer to the topic Service Provider.


Communicating with the Service Provider

Once a service provider has been assigned to the client profile, we can use the email function on the participant profile to communicate with the service provider. However it is important to remember that the service provider record will need to have an email address reflected with the record profile.

As shown in the image below our service providers assigned to the participant profile are listed within the communication party drop list categorised under Service Providers. Using the participant profile for our messaging we can avoid a disparate approach simply by consolidating all email communications, through a single record.
