Add Contacts in Fabrica (Consortium Organization)

👍

Organizational Contacts

Ensure all important communications from DataCite reach the right people by keeping organizational contact information up to date in Fabrica.

A Consortium Organization account must include at least one service contact. If a service contact is not included, the message "There are no contacts in your contacts list. Please add at least one contact" will appear in red in the "Contact Information" section of the Settings and permission to create repository accounts will be switched off.
