On the XTRF Home Portal, the offices of a translation company can operate as separate client accounts while staying linked to each other in a dependency that reflects the structure of their organization. Moreover, a contact person from one office might be granted access to the quotes and projects in other linked offices. In this case, your client's contact person requires only one personal Client Portal account to access all relevant information and files.

From this guide, you will learn how to:

• link two client’s offices

• add a new subordinate office to an existing office

• assign a contact person to a specific office, and manage the access rights for this account.
