1\. Log in to the Partner Portal with your credentials.

2\. In the navigation bar on the left, click **Client management** > **Requests**.

3\. Open the enquiry you want to process.

4\. Click **Add client** to create a new customer from the enquiry data, or assign the enquiry to an existing customer.
