- In Support Role, select the open menu
icon, and then select New.

Note: If a person in a new support role has the same last name and first name as an existing support person, a message about duplicate support records appears. To continue adding the new record, you can select OK. To update one of the existing records, you can select Cancel, reopen the existing support role record, and then edit the appropriate fields.
