Chapter 1 Participants : Creating a New Participant

Creating a New Participant
To create a new participant:
1.
Click BusinessConnect > Participants.
2.
Click New.
3.
Type the name in the Participant Name field.
4.
Select Host or Partner from the list.
Select Host if this participant is internal to your enterprise; select Partner if this participant is external to your enterprise.
Default Host:   The first host that you create automatically becomes the default host. If you have created multiple host participants, you can assign any one of them as the default host in System Settings > General. You cannot delete the default host; therefore, if you have only one host participant, you cannot delete it. To delete a default host, first assign a different host participant as the default host, creating a new host participant if necessary.
5.
Click OK.
A new dialog is displayed allowing you to provide detailed information about the participant.
6.
Select the Active check box if you want to activate this participant right away. Otherwise, you can activate this participant later.
