Entities are assigned to brokers so they can be used on the Criteria Screen to narrow the results. This allows brokers to market to certain entities personally. There are two lists on the screen: - Brokers: Displays the brokers in TFS.
- Broker Assigned Entities: Displays all entities that have been assigned to a selected broker.
| Note |
|---|
The brokers displayed in the Brokers list are defined in TFS and may only be modified in the TFS Administration Tool. |
