How to add parties to entities
This article will outline adding people (or other entities) to Client profiles and assigning their roles to those entities. This creates a new contact profile, which will appear automatically in your contacts list. If the contact already exists as part of another entity you manage, you will be prompted to search for them first to prevent creating duplicate profiles.
