Adding a Contact to an Establishment

In order to send notifications or inspection reports there must be a contact listed for an establishment.

To add a new contact that is not already on the system, find the establishment's profile, navigate to the 'Contacts' section on the left, and select Manage contacts. Complete the form and click Save. 'Mail subscription' refers to if the contact should receive system notifications. Standard practice is to leave this as ‘Subscribed’ unless specifically requested.

If the contact is already in the system, for example if they own several businesses, they can be associated with more than one establishment. At the bottom of the new contact form, click the blue text ‘Or associate with existing contact’, search for the contact you would like to add, select, and click Save.
