After registering for the portal, an activation link is sent by email. The login works only after the activation link has been confirmed. The password you're using may not match the one you created during registration. If you're unsure, we recommend setting a new password using the "Forgotten password?" function.

The activation link is automatically sent to every newly registered email address. Please check your spam folder in your email software/provider and ask your administrator if the email with the activation link has been moved to the quarantine area.

Authorized representatives are individuals who are required for the execution of legal transactions. When you submit proposals and reports through the portal, we need approval from these individuals from your organization. The approval replaces the signature on proposals and reports. In the "Organization" tab, there is a section "Information on Authorization to Represent." In this section, new authorized representatives can be added, existing data edited or deleted using the buttons there.

The authorized representatives receive (one after another) an email with a link through which approval for the proposals can be granted. The authorized representatives do not need to register in the portal for the approval process.
