If you select this option, you must enter a name that will be given to these default contracts. Note: it is not possible to bulk add a default contract afterwards; you will have to manually add contracts for each third party.</li><li>If you want to assign the third parties to an element of your organisational model, you need to select <strong>Change the position within the organisation of imported third parties</strong>. If you select this, the organisation model appears, and you can decide on the appropriate location for the third parties.</li><li>If you have enter "Pending" for the risk profile score of some third parties, or have left the risk profile score empty, the system automatically informs its business owner to fill out the risk profile. If you do not want the system to notify the business owners of pending risk profile scores, turn on the switch for <strong>Should not send a virtual officer message if status is pending.</strong></li></ol></li><li>Click on the <strong>Import </strong>button to add the third parties to the catalogue.</li></ol><h2><strong>Edit a third party</strong></h2><p>To edit a third party on the platform:</p><ol><li>On the left-hand side of your screen, navigate to:<i> </i><strong>Third-parties → Catalogue</strong></li><li>For the third-party you would like to edit, click on the <strong>•••</strong> button in the <strong>Actions</strong> column on the right-hand side of your screen.</li><li>Click <strong>Edit third-party</strong></li><li>Update the third-party record and save your changes by clicking on <strong>Edit third-party</strong>.</li></ol><h2><strong>Country Risk Report </strong><span style="color:#54a698;"><strong>(Beta)</strong></span></h2><p>This risk profile is generated using publicly available data and Al analysis.

That is why the third-party management module comes with a protected audit log that registers all mutations in your third-party catalogue. It records:</p><ul><li>Timestamp</li><li>Data adjustment (old value and new value)</li><li>The user account that was used for this update</li></ul><p>None of the platform roles (including the platform administrator) can delete or make mutations to this audit log.</p><h2><strong>Known limitations</strong></h2><p>You cannot archive or delete third parties. Instead, we recommend setting the status of the third-party to inactive or suspended. You can then filter in the catalogue to view active third parties. This ensures audit logs remain intact and no information is lost.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
