Navigating the Contractors' page
- Last updated on April 30, 2020 at 6:03 AM
As an Client Account Administrator, you can use the My Contractors' page to browse, manage, and verify your contractor accounts.
You can add contractors, search for a contractor by name, and find contractors based on their workflow status. You can also see the connection status for all your contractors and filter contractors by a connected or connection pending status. In addition, you can narrow your search by filtering your contractor by steps, work sites, and by the main category that the contractor belongs to.
