The original person is displayed directly under the "root" organisation name. If you wish to add a new person to the root you click on the root organisation link.
2. Click the organisation to which you wish to add the person.
The New User – Quick Entry for Duplication Check window is displayed.
First name, last name, email address and phone number will be checked for duplicate entries.

- Last Name - Last Name of the person.
- Title - Business title of the person.
- Prefix/Suffix - Prefix and suffix of the contact.
