You will be unable to click on the ‘Add’ button until you have selected a library in which to store the document.
Once you have selected your library click on ‘Upload Document’; this will open a link to your PC from which you can choose an image to upload.

You may wish to add a link to the image; to do this start to type the name of the link that you wish to add into the ‘Search Records box, this will generate a drop down menu from which you can select the link. Once selected the links will appear below the search bar; to delete the link click on the red cross next to the link that you wish to remove.
When you are ready to upload the image click on ‘Add’, this will update your profile picture to the new image and store the image in the library that you selected. Clicking on ‘Cancel’ will return you to the organisation record without changing the profile image.
The Tags box shows you all of the tags associated with that contact; tags allow users to search for contacts using the tag. From here you can also add tags to the contact, for example you may wish to associate a contact with a particular organisation or project. To add a tag click on ‘Add Tag’ which will open the dynamic search field shown below.
To add a tag to a record that is already in the system, type the first 3 letters of the tag that you wish to add and a drop-down list will appear; selecting an option will add the tag. To add a tag that is not in the system; type in the name of the tag and click the tick to add the tag, or click the cross to close the box.

Once you have selected a category, the criteria for that category will populate at the bottom of the box; you will then need to select an Assignee and Reviewer for each criteria in the category. Questionnaires can only be assigned to internal contacts if they are a member of the organisation that you are prequalifying; if the person required to complete the questionnaire is not an internal contact then you can use an email address instead. Upon issuing the prequalification questionnaires, internal users will receive a notification that they have been assigned a questionnaire to complete and that they should go to Search Assignments to complete it; external users will receive a link to the questionnaire allowing them to complete the form without giving them access to the site. The list of reviewers is restricted by job role so you will only be able to select a reviewer with an appropriate job role for that criteria.

Following this you will need to add a due date; clicking on will open a calendar allowing you to choose a date. The due date time defaults to the first minute of the chosen day; if you wish to change the time that the prequalification is due, for example to be submitted by 5pm on the chosen date, you can click

Once you have filled in the required detail click 'Ok' to being the prequalification process, clicking Cancel at any point will return you to the prequalification tab of the organisation.
After scheduling the prequalification process you'll be able to track its progress from the prequalification tab; by expanding the category you can see the status of each questionnaire within the category as well as the status of the overall prequalification process. If you have access to a questionnaire, either as an assignee or as a reviewer, you will be able to click on the questionnaire name and complete the questionnaire from here.
Once all questionnaires have been completed (see Completing Questionnaires for more information), click on the category to highlight the row and then click Accept. At this point you will be asked to confirm your SSIP accreditation; click 'Confirm' to prequalify the organisation, or click 'Cancel' to return to the Prequalification tab. The Accept button will only be available to users who have the required job role to prequalify that organisation; in addition you will only be able to prequalify the organisation if all of the category's criteria has been accepted.
If however, the organisation is not to be prequalified, you will be able to use the 'Reject' button at any point during the prequalification process. If any questionnaires have been rejected and closed, you will only be able to reject the organisation.
