The first time you login, you will be prompted to set up 3 security questions that we can use to verify your identity if you forget your password.
You can manage your company profile any time by clicking My Account on the top menu of the Deskpad page.
Here, you can add personnel to your profile, and grant seat licenses (you can add up to 4 additional personnel with a standard subscription. Contact us if you require additional seats.) Verify that the information in your company profile is accurate, and you have the correct company type selected, as well as any certifications or licenses you may have. The accuracy of this information is important as it will be reflected on bid lists and in our company directory. |
