What are Hubs?

Like Areas, a Hub is a way to group your contracts. For example, by geographical location or divisions or operating units. This can potentially help keep tabs on activity in a particular Hub and the contracts within that Hub. 

Reports can be run by Hub. 

A Hub can be created by Admin users in the platform, and a number of other ways, for example, automatically from an API call or an API integration, importing in bulk via our API.

Assigning a Contract to a Hub

Each contract can be assigned to a Hub, which can be an area or department depending on the needs of your organisation. 

Hubs are assigned at a company level - to assign a particular contract, it will need to be a contract of which that particular company is a user. 

See below on how to do this:

1. In the left-hand side navigation panel, select 'Contract Overview'.

2. Add the Hub as a tag in the overview, as below:

Once you have assigned a contract to a particular Hub, this contract will appear in all reports generated around this Hub. 

Users who are assigned to this Hub will also be able to view the contract in a read-only capacity. See here to learn more about assigning users to a Hub.
