Assign Team Members to a Client
1. Start by clicking on a contact in the Client List.
2. Click on the Manage Assignments icon in the top-right corner of the Client Record.
3. In the pop-up window, select the users or teams you want to assign to the client.
Use the Search bar to Search for a team member or team.
Note: This area helps you see who's in charge of a specific client's information in your firm. It also shows the roles and general users/teams for that client. You can easily assign teams and team members to the client without opening a separate window. This makes it simpler to organize and manage client relationships. Plus, you can create new roles right from this area.
4. Click Save to continue.
- If you need to Create a New Team Member, refer to the Invite New Team Members to Canopy article.
- Canopy sends a notification to the team members selected to let them know they have been assigned to the client.
