Re: [yaco-liaison-tool] The liaison tool: Status Update

[Stephanie McCammon <[e-mail]>]

Hi Emilio,

I'm trying to add an outgoing liaison however I'm running into an issue with the drop down menu in the 'From' section.  The problem I'm having is with the drop down for the person that it's from.  Do you know how these drop down menus are populated and where I can go to add someone?  I've been digging around in the Liaisons Administration area but can't find a way to do it.

Thank you,

Stephanie
