Linking an Agent to a contributor
Individuals and Organisations are sometimes represented by an Agent. RCS only allows one agent to be linked to a contributor.
Many agents are already known to the system and can be accessed by clicking on the Agent/payee field in the Individuals and Organisations screens.
Clicking on the Agent/payee button brings up a list of all known agents. Find the relevant agent and click on OK to associate the selected agent with the current contributor record.
If the agent is not listed, click on New agent... and create the new agent's details.
Please check before creating contributors and agents which of them is the principal in supplying the services to GNM, i.e. the content creator or their representative. If it is the latter (which might on the surface look like an agent), then the agent/representative must be set up as the contributor.
Please speak to the RCS Administrator (or email rcs.administration@theguardian.com) if you are at all unsure.
