      With Bionic, you can configure the Programs you utilize in your media plans. You can set Program metadata, add or remove contacts for a program, update your rate costs for a product and add private products that only your company will be able to see.

      In this article, we'll cover:

      1. Manage Program Contacts
      2. Set Your Own Rate for a Product
      3. Add Private Products
      4. Delete Private Products

      Manage Program Contacts

      Here's how to manage the contacts for a program. Contacts for a program are listed under the Contacts tab of a Program.

      Bionic will provide at least one contact you can reach out to. However, you may already have your own sales contact that might not be listed. Adding the contact here will share it with others in your company, provide easy access when sending RFPs, and can help create automation in your IOs.

      You have the ability to:

      1. Add a Contact
      2. Remove a Contact
      3. Mark as Primary

      Add a Contact

      Here's how to add a contact:

      1. Click the Add Contact button.
      2. Enter the Email Address of the contact.
      3. Press Add Contact.
      4. Fill in Contact Information. 
      5. Click Add Contact.

      Remove a Contact

      You can only remove contacts that have been added by your company. You can remove one or more contacts at a time. Here's how to remove a contact:

      Mark as Primary

      Marking a contact as the primary contact can be especially helpful for IO automation, as well as clearly identifying your main salesperson for this program. The contact will then display a star next to it indicating it as primary. Only one contact can be a primary contact. Here is how to mark a primary contact.

      1. Check off the box next to the name of the user.
      2. Click the Mark as Primary button.

      1. In the row of the product you wish to set your rate, click in the Cost field.
