Company Management

This guide covers how to view and manage contractor companies in the admin dashboard.

Company List

Navigate to Companies to see all companies.

List View

The company list shows the following columns:
ColumnDescription
Company NameThe registered name of the company
NZBNNew Zealand Business Number
EmailPrimary contact email address
Valid UntilExpiry date of the company’s current certification
ClientThe client(s) the company is linked to
StatusCurrent account status
Created DateWhen the company record was created

Filtering and Searching

Filter and search companies using:
  • Search — by company name, NZBN, or contact email
  • Status — Active, Inactive, or Suspended
  • Client selector — the global client selector scopes the list to companies linked to the selected client

Quick View (Viewer Role Only)

The Quick View feature is available to the Viewer role only. Viewers can preview company information without leaving the directory by clicking the eye icon on each table row. The Quick View modal shows:
  • Company status and certification summary
  • Insurance coverage summary
  • A View Full Details link to navigate to the full company profile
Quick View is only shown to viewers. Admins and assessors navigate directly to the company profile by clicking a row — they do not see the eye icon.

Company Details

Click a company to view its details. Company information is shown in a card above the tabs.

Accreditations Tab

View all evaluations for this company, including current certifications and in-progress evaluations. Each evaluation card shows:
  • Current certification status and expiry date
  • In-progress or renewal evaluations
  • Actions menu with options to view, manage, or regenerate evaluations

Adding a historical evaluation

The Add Evaluation button on the Accreditations tab allows admins and assessors to manually record an imported or historical evaluation. You can specify the certification type, issued date, and expiry date. This is used to record legacy certifications that exist outside the system — it does not start a new assessment workflow.

Regenerating evaluations

You can regenerate a DRAFT evaluation to recreate it from the current template version. This is useful when the template has been updated and you want the evaluation to reflect the latest questions.
Regenerating an evaluation permanently deletes all existing responses and attachments. The evaluation is recreated from scratch using the current template version. This action cannot be undone.
To regenerate an evaluation:
  1. Locate the DRAFT evaluation in the accreditations tab
  2. Click the three-dot menu (⋯) next to the evaluation
  3. Select Regenerate Evaluation
  4. Read the warning carefully
  5. Type REGENERATE in the confirmation field
  6. Click Regenerate
The system recreates the evaluation with the current template version and displays the number of questions generated.

Insurance Tab

  • Active insurance policies
  • Expiry dates
  • Compliance status
The Add Insurance button on this tab allows admins and assessors to manually add an insurance policy for the company.

Notification Settings

The Notification Settings button on the company detail page (visible to Admin and Assessor roles) opens a modal for managing per-user and per-certification email notification settings for this company.

Users Tab

  • Users associated with the company
  • Roles and permissions
  • Last activity

Multi-tenant companies

When a company is linked to more than one tenant, the Users tab becomes read-only for administrators and assessors. In this state:
  • The Add User, Edit user, and Delete user actions are hidden
  • User impersonation is not available
  • An information notice is displayed at the top of the tab explaining the restriction
This restriction exists because the company is shared across tenants and user management actions could affect users in other tenants’ contexts. The users list remains visible so you can still see who is associated with the company.

Files & Notes Tab

Internal notes with optional file attachments, alongside company documents. Notes and file uploads are scoped to the currently selected client group — you only see notes that belong to clients within your access, and any new notes or uploaded documents are associated with the selected client.
If a company is linked to multiple clients, switch the client group selector to view notes and files for a different client. Notes created under one client are not visible when another client is selected.
To add a note:
  1. Click Add Note
  2. Enter your note content
  3. Optionally attach files by clicking Attach Files — you can upload new files directly or select existing company documents
  4. Click Save
You can edit a note to update its content or change its attachments, or delete notes you no longer need. Notes are displayed newest first.

Billing Tab

  • Invoices and payment history
  • Outstanding balances
  • Billing contact details

Emails Tab

  • Email log for this company
  • History of system emails sent to the company’s contacts
When a company is linked to more than one tenant, an information notice is displayed at the top of the Emails tab. The notice indicates that you will only see emails explicitly related to your tenancy — emails sent in the context of other tenants are not shown.

Creating a Company

Administrators can create companies:
  1. Click Add Company
  2. Select the client to link the company to
  3. Enter the NZBN or search by company name — if found in the NZBN register, company details are pre-filled
  4. Fill in the contact person details:
    • Contact Person Email (required) — RapidCert checks whether this email is already registered when you leave the field or submit
    • Contact Person Name (required for new users, not shown when linking an existing contractor/supplier account)
    • Contact Person Phone (optional)
  5. Click Create Company
If the contact email belongs to an existing contractor/supplier account, RapidCert links that account as the primary contact automatically — you do not need to enter their name again. If the email belongs to an administrator or assessor, it cannot be used as a company contact and the form will not submit.
Companies usually self-register. Admin creation is for special cases.

Editing Company Details

Modifying Information

  1. Open company profile
  2. Click Edit Company Details
  3. Make changes
  4. Click Save Changes
The Edit Company Details button is disabled for companies linked to more than one tenant. Hovering over the button shows a message explaining the restriction. Contact internal RapidCert staff if you need to edit details for a multi-tenant company.

Client Assignment

Linking to clients

Companies are linked to clients through the Add Company modal:
  1. Click Add Company
  2. Select the client you want to link the company to
  3. Search for the company by NZBN or name
  4. If the company already exists in the system, you are prompted to link it to the selected client — no need to re-enter company details
  5. If the company is new, fill in the required details and confirm
A company can be linked to multiple clients by repeating this process with a different client selected.

Managing Company Users

Viewing Users

See all users under the company:
  • Name and email
  • Role within company
  • Last login
  • Status

Adding Users

Adding a user to a company uses a two-step flow:
  1. Click Add User
  2. Enter the user’s email address and click Continue — RapidCert checks whether this email is already registered
  3. Depending on the result:
    • New user — enter the user’s full name (required) and optionally their phone number
    • Existing contractor/supplier — the name field is not shown; the existing account is linked automatically. You can optionally enter a phone number for this company association
  4. Optionally tick Make this user the primary contact
  5. Click Add User (or Add Existing User if linking an existing account)
The following email addresses cannot be added to a company:
  • Emails belonging to deleted accounts
  • Emails belonging to inactive contractor/supplier accounts
  • Emails belonging to admin or assessor accounts
If the email belongs to an administrator or assessor account, it cannot be added as a company user. A message is shown and the form cannot be submitted.
You can click Change Email on the details step to go back and enter a different address.

Editing Users

To edit a company user’s details:
  1. Click the edit icon next to the user in the Users tab
  2. Update the fields as needed
  3. Click Save Changes
If a contractor/supplier account is linked to more than one tenant, their name and email are read-only and cannot be changed from this company’s Users tab. Only their phone number can be updated. Impersonation is also disabled for these users. Contact RapidCert support if a global identity change is needed for a cross-tenant user.
The Add User button is not available for companies linked to more than one tenant. See Multi-tenant companies above.

Removing Users

  1. Find user in list
  2. Click Remove
  3. Confirm
User removal is not available for companies linked to more than one tenant. See Multi-tenant companies above.
