One of the first steps to setting up your Ribbon site is to add vendors to your site. 

You can upload multiple vendors at once using the bulk import feature.

• Begin by logging into your Ribbon URL (companyname.meetribbon.com).
• Click on your initials in the upper right corner
  • Then click on Workdesk

• Click on Users

• Click on Vendors
