Introduction

Brevity allows the organisation to maintain multiple service provider records against the client profile, for the purpose of being able to identify the external service organisations that have an interaction with the participant. It is important to appreciate that the service provider records that you list within this section of the client are collected for information purposes only. Service Provider records are specified through the Service Providers data-grid which is located under the Related Contacts tab of the client profile.
