Make a Profile Private or Public

You can choose whether your profile is designated as public or private. A private organization can be seen by general contractors in the directory, but the organization name is designated with a Private badge. You will be prompted at registration to designate your profile as public or private, but you can always change this setting later by editing your profile.

General contractors need a public profile to create projects and to access the directory. Public and private organizations are only discoverable by general contractors in their own directory, and they can both receive invitations to tender. Private organizations and users are hidden in the public directory.

You may choose to remain private while you finish setting up your organization or profile. You can even mark yourself as private when you don't want to be considered for bids, for example, while you're out of the office. A private organization will display a Private badge beside its name.

To choose whether your profile is private or public:

  1. In the user menu, select My profile.
  2. On the My profile page, select Edit.
  3. In the User profile privacy area, select Yes, I agree if you want your profile to be public or No, I don't agree if you do not want your profile to be public.
