Troubleshooting
Issue | Fix |
| Your claimed factor is not appearing on the Company Overview. | This is correct. Team Members' Business Factors will not display on your Company Overview. They only appear as half-shaded circles on the Proposal Overview screen. |
You need to update a factor for a submitted proposal. | Business factors in submitted proposals cannot be unclaimed or changed. Any changes you make will only apply to unsubmitted proposals. |
| The Business Factor was claimed incorrectly. | Use the Unclaim button, remove the incorrect claim/documents, and re-certify the claim with the correct information. |
