Add/Edit Company Form

Use the Add Company form to add a new company record for a client, subconsultant, government agency, or competitor. Use the Edit Company form to make changes or additions to information for existing companies. The two forms contain the same sets of fields.

When you add a new company using the Add Company form, you are automatically added as a team member on the Team tab for that company. However, you will need to go to the Team tab to describe your relationship to the company. (If you run an import process that adds new companies, you are not automatically added as a team member for those companies.)
