Peering Workflow

(Typical Workflow order in progress)How it Works
The Communication Manager allows you track communications per exchange. You can mark peering status and even send out peering requests from the interface.
Selecting an Exchange

This is where you are able to select the Peering Exchange (per peeringdb entry) that you want to manage.
Setting Peer Status
Peer Status can be tracked easily from the Communication Manager. The Manager gives you three options for status tracking:
Image Removed - Existing Peer: Marks a peer as an existing one and removes the Email icon.
Image Removed - Not Qualified to Peer: Marks peer as "not qualified" and removes the Email icon.
Image Removed - Reset Peering Request: Resets the status of the peer so you can select Existing or Not Qualified or Email icons.
Sending and Tracking Communications
Image Removed - Email Peer: Brings up a screen to email the peering coordinator. The email template pre-populates data based on peeringdb data (To address, Subject line and Peering exchange information). You have the chance to edit the email prior to sending.
