In the Vendors tab, you will see one of four vendor access scenarios:

Vendor Access Status Description
1. No Vendors Assigned No vendors have been added to the matter. The vendor will not be able to see the matter until they are assigned. 
2. Any Vendor Office Assigned The matter is assigned to the vendor with "Any Vendor Office" enabled. This allows vendor admin users from all offices of that vendor to access the matter.
3. Specific Vendor Offices Assigned The matter is assigned to the vendor, but only specific offices are listed. Only vendor admins logged into those assigned offices can access the matter. 
4. Specific Offices and Users Assigned The matter is assigned to specific vendor offices and individual users. Only vendor admins logged into those offices and specific vendor users will have access.

 


Troubleshooting Vendor Access Issues

If the matter is assigned to a specific vendor office - ask them to check whether they are logged into to the correct office by following these steps
Change the setting to “Any Vendor Office” to allow access to all vendor offices
