# ACM vendor template manager

{% hint style="success" %}
**Access Type**: Compliance Report - Editor

**Premium Feature**: Advanced Compliance Monitoring
{% endhint %}

The ACM vendor template manager is designed for organizations who may utilize the Didomi Advanced Compliance Monitoring feature but not the Didomi Consent Management Platform (CMP). If your organization utilizes a non-Didomi CMP, your organization will need to manually create a vendor template to inform the matching of vendors found by the Didomi bot during compliance report scans with the Didomi database. In this article, we will cover:

* [Configure ACM vendor template](#configure-acm-vendor-template)
* [Edit ACM vendor template](#edit-acm-vendor-template)
* [Delete ACM vendor template](#delete-acm-vendor-template)

{% hint style="info" %}
When Advanced Compliance Monitoring is used in conjunction with the Didomi Consent Management Platform (CMP), the Didomi bot used in compliance report scans can automatically extract and match vendors in your consent notice to known vendors in the Didomi database. If your organization utilizes both products then it is not necessary to configure an ACM vendor template.

To start, click **Advanced Compliance Monitoring** on the left-hand panel and select **Manage Vendor Templates** on the subsequent page.
