# How to Add Partners

**Overview**

Partners represent the external suppliers, vendors, or service providers that your organization works with. By adding them to BoolDesk, you can link assets to specific vendors (e.g., tracking that a laptop was purchased from "Dell Technology") and keep essential contact information readily available for maintenance or warranty claims.

**Step-by-Step Guide**

**1. Navigate to Partner Settings**

Access the partner management section from the asset settings menu.

* From the main menu, go to Settings (1).
* Under the `Asset` section (2), click on Partners (3).
* Click the Add Partner button (4) in the top right corner.

**2. Configure Partner Details**

In the pop-up window, fill in the information for your vendor.

* Partner Information: Enter the `Partner Name` (e.g., "Dell Technology") and a `Description` (e.g., "Hardware Supplier"). You can also add their general contact details like address, email, and website.
* Contact Information: Add specific details for your account manager or point of contact, such as `Contact Person`, `Contact Phone`, and `Contact Email`.
* Click Save to add the partner to your directory.
