Designating Your Included Participants

---

Within each of these categories, PartBridge allows you to define one or more individual users from each company. These people, called Included Participants, receive e-mail notification about possible buy and/or sell opportunities as a result of your postings and searches. You may select none, some, or all of the users from a given company to be Included Participants.

When a new company joins PartBridge.com, the program administrators for all the participating companies receive e-mail notification. These program administrators inform the participants within their own companies of the new company participant, if appropriate.

When a new user registers on PartBridge.com, all other registered users receive e-mail notification.

You can designate Included Participants for none, some or all of the companies in each category.

The business relationships described above are reflected in step 6 of the registration process for direct materials users. Part of the screen for step 6 is shown below:

Keep these points in mind when setting up your business relationships:

• The Available Users box lists all registered users associated with the company shown in the Company field.
• You move the people with whom you want to work from the Available Users list to the Included Participants list.
• An Included Participant on your list receives e-mail notification when a match occurs between his or her postings or searches and your postings or searches when that Included Participant is an Active Participant.
• It is OK to leave an Included Participants list blank.
