Allocating Projects to the Selling Agency

Before your Selling Agencies can view Projects in the Agent Portal, you will need to link each  Company/Selling Agency to the Project by creating an Agent Portal record. 

Note you will need to create a new Agent Portal record for each Project that you wish to  allocate to a Company/Selling Agency. If an Agency has not been granted access to the Project  via the Agent Portal record, then they will not be able to view the Project when they login to  your External Agent Portal.
