    What this page shows

    Suppliers lists every supplier in this tenant. Its main purpose is to send suppliers a welcome notice letting them know that, going forward, all communication with them will happen through Collablly email. Once a supplier acknowledges by clicking the link in that email, their Status updates automatically. This tenant has a realistic mix: most suppliers have Acknowledged, a couple are still Not Sent, and one is Sent but hasn't acknowledged yet.

  10. Step 10 of 10

    Column: Status

    Three states, shown here side by side: Not Sent (red, e.g. Northstar Precision Supply) means no welcome email has gone out yet. Sent (blue, e.g. Summit Fastener Group) means the email went out but the supplier hasn't clicked the acknowledgment link. Acknowledged (green, most suppliers here) means they clicked it and Collablly is now the confirmed channel for all communication with them. Once a supplier is Acknowledged, its checkbox locks, there's nothing left to (re-)send; Not Sent and Sent suppliers can still be selected.
