Companies Page

The Companies Page in the People Module can be accessed from the Main Menu. It is comprised of two tabs: the Companies Tab and the Create Company Tab.

The Companies Tab on the Companies Page

The Companies Table on the Companies Page shows a list of companies that have been created, along with a clickable URL, If applicable. A URL associated with the company will display in the right column. If no URL has been added, the URL cell for that company will be blank.
