## Pending invites

Go to **Network**.

1. **Pending invites**: clients who have invited you to their portal.
2. **Part of portal**: clients you are already connected with.
3. **View Invite**: open an invitation (see below).
4. **Invite company**: invite a client that isn't on the platform yet, or ask one that is to connect with you.

## Accept an invitation

</Frame>

1. **Read this first:** if you join a client's portal, **that client can see all your data on Supplier Connect**.
2. **NDA**: the invitation may include an NDA, either the Supplier Connect standard NDA or the client's own. Click the file to read it.
3. **Decline invitation**: refuse the invitation. **This can't be undone.**
4. **Review & Sign NDA**: read the NDA, optionally **Download NDA**, then click **Sign & Accept**.

<Warning>
  Signing uses your organization's **Legal Representative** name. If it is missing, you are asked to add it under **Organization** first.
</Warning>

## Part of portal

</Frame>

The **Reviewed** column shows where each client is:

1. **Review Requested**: you asked for a review and are waiting.
2. **Reviewed**: the client has reviewed you.
3. **Not Reviewed**: you haven't asked yet.
4. **… (Action) menu**:
   * **Request review**: ask this client for a review.
   * **Download signed NDA**: get a copy of the NDA you signed.
