Adding a New Primary Respondent

In some cases, when going through the steps to change a primary respondent, you might find that the individual is not a selectable option. The reason this occurs is due to the individual not yet having been added as a point of contact within the Supplier's Profile. Once they are added, you will be able to mark them as a Primary Respondent.
