This page explains how to add, update and delete contacts for a project in Beneficiary module.

Prerequisites

Only the contact persons of the beneficiary, co-beneficiary and/or partner organisations with edit rights for the project are able to perform these actions.
As contacts are linked to organisations, you must add the participating organisations first.
A grant agreement has been signed for the project, and it is visible in My projects.
To update the project it must have the status Project Ongoing.

Steps

1. Access "Contacts" in the Content menu

In your project, click on Contacts in the Content menu. The Contacts screen displays.

A Search filter is also available. You can narrow down the list of contacts using the filter, for example by searching for a contact via their first or last name.

2. List of contacts

At least two contacts for the Beneficiary organisation will be available in the list by default, the Contact Person and the Legal Representative of the project as submitted with the related Application form.

If other contacts are required to have access to the project, the existing beneficiary user(s) can add them.

The contact list has the following functionalities:

Sorting by column: by clicking on a column header (1st click ascending, 2nd click descending, 3rd click off). An arrow indicating the current sort sequence is displayed next to the selected column header.
Browsing: use the browsing options below the list to change the display of items per page and/or the arrows to view more results.
Horizontal and vertical scroll bars: move from left to right and top to bottom to view all data in the table.

Export button: to export the list of contacts. (not yet available)

Take note of the following rules for contacts in Beneficiary module:

The email address used for a contact must be unique across all organisations within the same project, except when the legal representative and the contact person share the same email.
A contact may not belong to any organisations other than the beneficiary organisation, the co-beneficiary organisations or other organisations participating in the project.
There can only be one Legal Representative for any given participating organisation within the same project.
The list of contacts belonging to the beneficiary organisation must include at least one contact flagged as the primary contact. This will ensure that automatic notifications can always reach a valid recipient.
The list of contacts belonging to the beneficiary organisation must include at least one contact with full access to the project (i.e Edit access).
By default all contacts from the other participating organisations have view access to the entire project data, but this can be changed by beneficiary contacts with edit access.
Contacts from an Invited Organisation (KA2 projects) do not have access to the project in My projects.

Fill in the available fields:

General information such as First name, Last name and email address
Select the contact's Role within their organisation by checking the appropriate boxes:
- Primary Contact - all automated notifications regarding the selected project are sent to this contact's registered email address.
- Learning Manager - this option indicates that the user has the Learning Manager role in the EU Academy system.
- The Legal Representative check box cannot be selected, as all Legal representative information is retrieved from the National Agency's project management system.
