Companies
A Company record is essential to using the DrawBridge: all People records and Device records must be associated with a Company record (or an Accountability Policy) to enable full use of their functionality.
If your Company is the only company present on your DrawBridge, clicking on Accounts: Companies will jump directly to your Company record view.
If more than one Company is present on a DrawBridge, and your sign-in credentials are part of a System Owner permissions group or higher, a list view of the Company records will be displayed when Companies
is clicked in the left menu bar. Click the Name of the company to view the Company Record. See Essential Concepts: Record Model - Tenancy and Hierarchy for further information about multi-tenancy.
The Company record view is your headquarters for viewing important data on your account, and also for jumping to other places in the DrawBridge to make configuration changes for your Company.
