View and Update Team Members for an Opportunity

Use the Team tab in the Opportunities area to view and update lists of the companies (clients, vendors, subconsultants, and government agencies) and team members (your employees and contacts for other companies) that are involved in an opportunity.

The grids on this tab display the companies, external contacts, and employees who are currently associated with the opportunity. You can edit the role information, and you can add companies, external contacts, and employees as new team members.

If custom fields are defined for this tab on the Fields & Tabs tab in the Customization area of the Configuration workspace, those fields display below the Team Members grid. As with standard fields, you must make entries in any required custom fields.
