Add/Edit Organization Form

Use the Add Organization form to add a new organization record for a client, partner, government agency, or competitor. Use the Edit Organization form to make changes or additions to information for existing organizations. The two forms contain the same sets of fields.

When you add a new organization using the Add Organization form, you are automatically added as a team member on the Team tab for that organization. However, you will need to go to the Team tab to describe your relationship to the organization. (Note: If you run an import process that adds new organizations, you are not automatically added as a team member for those organizations.)
