How to Create an Agency Supplier Account

In this article, we will go through, step by step, how to create a supplier account within StaffSavvy. 

Step 1 

Creating a Supplier Access Level

The first step is to create an access level for the Agency Account. To do this, you can either create a new access level and give it the relevant permissions needed for the agency account. This can be found under System > Levels & Permissions > Access Levels.

Alternatively, copy the Staff Access Level and remove certain permissions, e.g., the ability to see the
Staff Directory.

Step 2

Setting Permissions

If you are creating a new level or editing a copy, make sure that under Account Type you have selected Supplier Account. Once you have saved your new access level, you will be taken back to the Manage Access Levels page, where you can then click the Set Permissions button. Then, you can add or remove the relevant permissions.

Step 3

Creating a Supplier Account

Then create a new StaffSavvy account for your supplier. To do this, go to Staff > New Staff > Create Staff Member. You will then need to add all their relevant details, including contact and bank details - everything you normally add when creating an account. If you are stuck on an email address, use something like: [YOURORGNAME]@no-email-account.com 

 

You will also need to add a name -  in this example, the name of the account is Supplier one. The most important thing to do is to select Supplier under the Access Level field.

 

The most important thing to do is to select Supplier under the Access Level field.

As this is a supplier account, the account will have limited access and data, separate from typical accounts, as supplier accounts are only expected to provide additional staffing resources. You will also want to assign the relevant Skills for this shift.

 

Step 4

Assigning Shifts to staff

Once the account has been created, you can start assigning shifts to this account. You can do this via Manage Shift Schedule or any of our other options for adding shifts.

Once there are some shifts in the system, go to their profile and Become the agency account, and go to My Shifts. 

From there, if you select the OPTIONS button, you will be able to assign a name to that shift. Rather than the supplier, for that shift you can assign the staff member's name.

This will then show up on the shift details.
