After clicking on 'Forgot Password', a screen will appear where you can enter your email address and click on 'Send Request' to submit a password reset request.
When you enter your email and send the request, you will see a screen displaying the message: “Verification Email Sent.”
Then you need to check your email. You should have received an email containing a confirmation link—click on that link to proceed.
After clicking on the link, you will be directed to a screen where you can set your new password and then submit it.
On this screen, you need to enter your new password and then re-enter the same password for confirmation. After that, click on “Update Password” to successfully reset your password.

4. User Account
This application features a comprehensive user management system that allows users to manage their accounts fully. Within this system, you can update your profile information, such as name, email, and contact details, as well as customize your account settings according to your preferences. This includes options for changing your password and controlling privacy settings, ensuring a more personalized and secure user experience.
4.1 Profile
4.1.1 Change Profile Image
The application allows users to change their profile images from their account settings easily. This helps personalize the user experience and keeps profiles up to date.
Where it says Upload Photo, click there — a system dialog box will appear, allowing you to choose and upload any picture of your choice.
Once you select the picture and click Open, your profile picture will be successfully updated.
4.1.2 Update User Information
The application provides an option to update user information, such as name, contact details, and email signature. This ensures that user profiles remain accurate and up to date.
In this section, you have the option to update your first name, last name, phone number, and email signature. You can click on any text field to edit the information. Once you're done, click the Update button to save the changes. At any time, you can also cancel the process and exit the profile management section by clicking the Cancel button.

4.2.1 Change Password
The application includes a change password feature, allowing users to update their login credentials securely. This helps maintain account security and user control.
4.2.2 Password Validation
When changing the password, validation rules are applied. If the new password doesn't meet the criteria, an error will be displayed. The first rule is: Password must contain at least 8 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. An error message will be shown accordingly if the password doesn't follow this rule.
If all the password rules are followed but the values in both password fields do not match, then the second rule applies: Passwords must match. If this rule is not met, an error message will be displayed accordingly.
Once both rules are fulfilled — the password meets all validation criteria and both password fields match — click the Update button to change the password successfully. If the user wishes to cancel the process at any time, they can click the Cancel button to exit the User Management section.
4.3 Logout
The application includes a logout option, enabling users to end their session securely. This ensures user data privacy and prevents unauthorized access.
5. User Management
The application also includes a fully functional User Management module. You are directed to this module when you navigate to the “Users” section from the Admin sidebar.
On the main screen of the User Management module, you will see a complete list of all registered users. Each entry displays important details such as the user's title, name, role, email address, and account status. Additionally, there is an action column provided against each user, allowing admins to perform actions like editing user information and activating/deactivating accounts.
This module gives administrators full control over user-related operations and helps maintain a structured and secure environment within the application.
At the top of the User Management screen, the first feature you'll see is a search bar. This allows you to search for users by their name or email address, making it easy to quickly locate a specific user from the list.
Next to the search bar is an “Export” button. When you click this button, the entire list of users is instantly downloaded to your device in CSV format. This feature is especially useful for reporting, record-keeping, or sharing user data in a structured and portable format.
5.1 New User
In the User Management module, the admin has the authority to add new users to the system. This functionality is provided through the “New User” button located at the top right corner of the page.
As soon as you click the “New User” button, a dedicated form window opens where you can enter the details for the new user.
This feature ensures that administrators can easily and securely manage user onboarding directly from the dashboard.
When you click on the “New User” button, a separate form window opens where multiple fields are available for input.
5.1.1 Add New User Form
At the top of the form, there's an option to upload a profile picture directly from your device. Besides that, the form includes various personal information fields, such as:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email Address
- Title
Toward the end of the form, there’s also an option to add an email signature. This allows for more formal identification and adds authenticity to the user's profile within the system.
In addition to the personal information fields, the form also includes several drop-downs. The first dropdown is for selecting the email domain.
This dropdown contains a list of registered domains, and the admin can choose any one of them based on which domain the new user’s email should be created under. This ensures that users are added with the correct organizational email structure, and the domain selection remains flexible and controlled by the admin during user creation.
The second dropdown in the form is for selecting the user's province. It provides a list of available provinces, allowing the admin to choose the appropriate one based on the user's location. This helps in accurately recording the user's regional information, which can be useful for administrative, reporting, or policy-based segmentation within the system.
The third and most important dropdown is for selecting the user's role. This dropdown allows the admin to assign a specific role to the user, which is crucial because each role comes with predefined permissions and access levels. By selecting the appropriate role, the admin ensures that the user has access only to the features and sections relevant to their responsibilities, maintaining both security and efficiency within the system.
At the end of the form, there are two options: Cancel and Create. If you click Cancel, the form will close immediately, and you'll be taken back to the main User Management screen without saving any information. If you click Create, the system will process the entered details, and a new user will be successfully created based on the provided information.
5.2 Filters
The User Management module also includes a comprehensive filtering system to help admins quickly locate specific users. There are three main types of filters available:
5.2.1 Filter by Role
This allows the admin to filter users based on their assigned roles. From the list of available roles, the admin can select a specific one to view users associated with that role only.
5.2.2 Filter by Email Status
This filter lets the admin choose between verified and non-verified email users. It helps identify users who have not yet confirmed their email addresses.
5.2.3 Filter by Activation Status
This option allows filtering users based on their account status. The admin can view either active users or inactive users, depending on the need.
At the end of the filters section, there is a “Set Filters” button to apply the selected filters, and a “Reset Filters” button that clears all applied filters, returning the list to its default state. This makes it easy to manage and refine the user list efficiently.
6. Roles & Permissions
The application also includes a fully functional Role Management module. When you navigate to the “Roles” section from the Admin sidebar, you're directed to this module.
On the main screen of the Role Management module, you can view a list of all roles that have been added to the application. Each role is displayed with the following details:
- ID – Unique identifier for each role
- Name – System name of the role
- Display Name – User-friendly name shown in the application
- Normalized Name – Standardized name used internally for comparisons
- Details – Description or notes about the role
- Actions – Options to edit or delete the role as needed
This module provides a clear overview and control of all user roles, making it easier for the admin to manage permissions and access levels throughout the system.
6.1 Add New Role
On the Role Management screen, there is a “New Role” button located at the top right corner. When you click on this button, a separate window opens where you can add a new role to the system.
When the “Add Role” form opens, it contains four input fields:
- Role Name
- Role Display Name
- Role Normalized Name
- Role Description
Below these fields, you’ll find a complete list of permissions available across the entire application. While creating a new role, the admin can select exactly which permissions to assign. This allows for full control over what the new role can access or perform within the system, and all permissions are set right at the time of role creation.
At the end of the Add Role form, after filling in all the fields and selecting the desired permissions, there are two action buttons:
- Cancel – Clicking this will close the form and take the user back to the main Role Management screen without saving any changes.
- Add – Clicking this will create a new role based on the entered details and selected permissions.
Once created, the new role will be reflected throughout the application and will also appear as an option in the User Management module when adding a new user.
6.2 Permissions
The Permissions functionality in this application is highly efficient and well-structured. It allows centralized control over all access levels across the platform. From this single module, permissions for every role can be easily managed.
You have the flexibility to set precise permissions for:
- Each module
- Every view
- And all functionalities within the application
This ensures that users only have access to the features relevant to their role, enhancing both security and usability of the system.
7. Dashboard
The Rosy Admin Portal dashboard is the command center for users. It’s the first screen a user sees after logging in and serves as a quick access point to all critical information and actions. Designed with clarity and functionality in mind, the dashboard enables users to quickly understand what's happening in the system without needing to delve into different modules.
It displays key metrics, summaries, and real-time data, such as pending tasks, alerts, user activities, and recent updates. This immediate visibility allows users to prioritize their actions and respond to urgent matters efficiently.
A prominent alerts section notifies users of upcoming deadlines, overdue items, or system-wide announcements. The notification panel highlights recent activity, such as task assignments, status changes, or file updates, keeping users aware of everything relevant to their role.
Additionally, the dashboard features a comprehensive task management section, complete with advanced filters. These filters allow users to efficiently search, sort, and locate specific files or tasks based on various criteria. Whether by date, category, status, or assigned user, the filtering system ensures smooth navigation and faster access to the required information, greatly improving productivity and control over daily operations.
Overall, the Rosy Admin Portal dashboard transforms complex workflows into a clean, informative, and action-oriented experience, making it easier for users to manage their responsibilities effectively from a single, unified interface.
7.1 Alert Message Board
The first section of the Dashboard is the Alert Message Board, where all important notifications are displayed. This section keeps the user informed about system alerts, updates, and any actions that require attention, making it a central place to stay up to date with the application’s activities.
At the top of the Alert Message Board, there are two drop-downs for filtering:
- User Dropdown – Allows you to select a specific user.
- Province Dropdown – lets you choose a province.
Based on the selected user and province, the alert board dynamically displays notifications relevant to that specific combination. This filtering makes it easy to view targeted alerts and manage notifications more effectively.
Next to the heading of the Alert Message Board, in the top-right corner, there is a pop-up button. When you click on it, a separate window opens showing all notifications along with the user dropdown.
In this popup window, you can also change the user from the dropdown, and the notifications will instantly update based on the selected user. This feature provides a quick and focused view of user-specific alerts without navigating away from the main dashboard.
Each alert or notification displayed on the Alert Message Board includes two action buttons beside it.
The first action button appears with a tooltip saying “Remind Me Later” when you hover over it. This feature is designed to let users set a reminder for that specific alert to be notified again later.
As soon as you click this button, a pop-up window appears where you can select a specific date and time to receive the reminder. Once set, the reminder will be saved by clicking on the save button, and the system will alert the user accordingly at the chosen time.
The second action button is for acknowledging the notification. When you click on it, the selected alert is immediately marked as acknowledged and removed from the Alert Message Board.
This helps in keeping the dashboard clean by showing only the pending or active alerts, ensuring better focus on unresolved items.
7.2 Task Management
The second section of the dashboard is Task Management, which primarily displays all the files in the system. This section organizes and presents data from multiple perspectives to help users efficiently track and manage their work.
At the top, there is a set of filters including:
- File Type
- Province
- User
- Lender
- Closing Start Date
- Closing End Date
These filters allow users to narrow down the view and locate specific files or tasks quickly.
Below the filters is the main Task Management view, which is divided into five columns:
- Queues
- Tasks
- Files
- Missing Documents
- Deal Stages
This layout gives a comprehensive overview of all ongoing processes, helping users identify priorities, bottlenecks, and pending actions with clarity.
7.2.1 Filters
At the very top of the Task Management section, there is a filter bar containing a total of six filters:
- File Type
- Province
- User
- Lender
- Closing Start Date
- Closing End Date
The File Type filter is a multi-select dropdown that lists all available file types in the system. It allows users to select one or multiple file types at the same time. By choosing specific file types from this dropdown, users can easily refine the task view to focus only on the relevant categories, improving both visibility and workflow efficiency.
The second filter is for Provinces. This is also a multi-select dropdown that contains a complete list of all available provinces. Users can select one or multiple provinces from this list to filter the task data accordingly. This helps in narrowing down the displayed tasks based on geographical location, making it easier to manage and track province-specific files.
The third filter is the User filter, which is also implemented as a dropdown. It displays the complete list of users in the system. From this dropdown, you can select one user at a time to view the files and tasks specifically assigned to or associated with that user. Unlike the province filter, this is a single-select dropdown, allowing you to focus on the task data relevant to the selected user only.
The fourth filter is the Lender filter, also presented as a dropdown. It contains a list of all the available lenders in the system. By selecting a lender from this list, you can further narrow down the files and tasks displayed, making it easier to focus on data related to a specific lender.
The fifth filter is used to set a specific date. It includes a calendar icon, and when you click on it, a calendar opens, allowing you to select any desired date. This helps in filtering files and tasks based on the selected closing start date for more precise data visibility.
The sixth filter is used to set the closing end date. It also includes a calendar icon, and when clicked, a calendar pop-up appears where you can select any specific end date. This helps in narrowing down tasks and files that are scheduled to close by the selected date, allowing for better tracking and organization.
7.2.2 Task Management View
Below the filters is the main Task Management view, which is divided into five key columns:
- Queues
- Tasks
- Files
- Missing Documents
- Deal Stages
Next to the Task Management heading, there is a “Select Columns” button. This allows users to customize the view by choosing which columns to display. Currently, it provides the option to show or hide two specific columns: Queues and Tasks, helping users focus on the information they find most relevant.
Next to the “Select Columns” button, there is also a “Reset Filters” button. When clicked, it clears all the applied filters and resets the view to its default state, showing the unfiltered, complete data set. This allows users to quickly return to the original view without manually removing each filter.
On the heading bar, at the extreme right, there is a search bar that allows users to quickly locate specific files by entering relevant keywords.
Right next to the search bar, there is a toggle button that lets you switch between Pending Tasks and Closed Tasks views.
- If you select “Closed Tasks”, the system will display only those files that contain tasks marked as closed.
- If the toggle is set to “Pending Tasks”, you'll see all files with tasks that are still open or in progress.
This functionality helps users focus on specific types of tasks for better management and tracking.
In the Task Management view, the first column is “Queues”, which displays a list of all available queues.
- At the top of this column, there's a search bar that allows you to quickly find any specific queue by typing its name.
- Each queue has a file count shown in brackets next to its name, indicating how many files are currently associated with that queue.
- You can select multiple queues at once, and as you do so, the files displayed in the view will update dynamically based on the selected queues.
This makes it easy to filter and manage tasks by focusing on specific workflows or categories.
In the Task Management view, the second column is “Tasks”, which displays a list of all tasks within the system.
- At the top of this column, there is a search bar that allows users to quickly search for specific tasks by name.
- Each task in the list shows a file count in brackets next to it, indicating how many files that task is associated with.
- Users can select multiple tasks simultaneously, and based on the selected tasks, the data in the view dynamically updates to show only the files related to those tasks.
This feature allows for focused task tracking and filtering, helping users manage workloads and monitor task distribution more efficiently.
In the Task Management view, the third column is the “Files” column, which displays the actual data records, whether filters are applied or not.
This column presents the core file-level information, including:
- File No – The unique identification number of the file
- Clients – The name(s) of the client(s) associated with the file
- Brokers – The broker handling or linked to that file
- Lender – The financial institution or lender involved in the deal
- Deal Stage – The current progress status of the file in the workflow
- Closing Date – The scheduled or actual closing date for the file
This column acts as the main data display area, updating automatically based on the filters selected from the top (like user, province, lender, date, etc.) or displaying all records when no filters are applied.
In the “File No” column of the Task Management view, each file number is accompanied by a small “open file” icon. When you click on this icon, it opens that specific file in a separate window or tab, allowing you to view all the details related to that file without navigating away from the main dashboard.
This feature ensures quick access to file-level information while maintaining your current view in the Task Management section.
In the fourth column of the Task Management view, labeled “Missing Documents”, the system displays any documents that are missing for a particular file.
When you click on any file from the Files column, the system checks that file and automatically shows the list of missing documents in this column. This allows users to quickly identify what important documents are still pending for each selected file, helping streamline follow-ups and documentation completion.
And if no document is missing for the selected file, the “Missing Documents” column will simply display the message: “No record found”, indicating that all required documents are already uploaded and complete for that file.
In the fifth column of the view, labeled “Deal Stages”, all the deal stages are displayed. This column also includes a search bar, allowing users to quickly find a specific deal stage by typing its name.
Next to each deal stage, there is a count in brackets indicating how many files currently exist in that particular stage.
Unlike other filters, multiple selection is not allowed here — users can select only one stage at a time, and the view will update accordingly to show files associated with the selected deal stage.
7.3 Calendar
The third section of the dashboard is the Calendar, which helps users visually track and manage important dates and scheduled activities.
There are three display options available for viewing the calendar:
- Monthly View (default)
- Weekly View
- Daily View
At the top-left corner of the Calendar section, you'll find a view selector dropdown. By default, it shows “Month”, but you can easily switch it to “Week” or “Day” as needed. This flexibility allows users to view scheduled events in broader or more detailed formats, depending on their preference or requirements.
This calendar essentially displays the closing dates of files. For each date, it shows:
- Which files are scheduled to close, and
- A count of how many closings are set for that particular day.
This feature allows users to quickly identify busy days and plan accordingly by simply glancing at the calendar. It's especially helpful for keeping track of workload and ensuring that no important closing deadlines are missed.
When you click on a specific date in the calendar, a pop-up window opens that displays the detailed information of all the files scheduled to close on that particular day.
This detailed view includes the following columns:
- Province – Indicates the province associated with the file.
- Type – The type of the file.
- File No – The unique identification number of the file.
- Status – Shows the current status of the file.
- Law Clerk – Name of the law clerk assigned to the file.
- Date – The scheduled closing date of the file.
This pop-up helps users get a focused view of daily closings, improving planning and follow-up efficiency.
This calendar section also includes filtering options to narrow down the displayed data for better clarity and control.
You can filter the calendar by Law Clerk and by Province:
- The Law Clerk filter lets you select a specific law clerk, showing only the closings assigned to that individual.
- The Province filter allows you to view closings for a particular province.
Only one law clerk and one province can be selected at a time — multiple selection is not allowed.
These filters help users focus on relevant closings based on their role or region, making the calendar view more efficient and personalized.
8. Close View
In the Rosy Admin Portal, there's a feature called Close View, located right next to the Dashboard. This section provides a specialized calendar view focused on file closings, helping users get a clear picture of workload distribution across law clerks and provinces.
Key Features of the Close View Calendar:
- Monthly Calendar Display (Default):
By default, the calendar shows the current month, displaying all closing-related data for each day.
- Sidebar with Law Clerks:
On the left side, there’s a sidebar listing all the law clerks’ names.
Each name includes a count in brackets showing how many files are assigned to that clerk.
- Province Color Bands:
At the top of the calendar, all provinces are listed, each with a unique color band.
These colors are consistently used in the calendar tiles to visually represent the province of each file.
- Daily Tiles in the Calendar:
Each day on the calendar may contain one or more tiles. Each tile represents a law clerk and displays:
- The law clerk’s name
- The number of closings they are handling on that particular day
If multiple clerks have closings on the same day, multiple tiles will appear, each showing respective clerk-specific details.
This Close View makes it extremely easy for admins and managers to:
- Monitor upcoming closings
- Understand workload distribution by day, clerk, and province
- Quickly identify who is handling how many closings and when
When you click on a specific tile in the calendar, a pop-up window opens that displays the detailed information of all the files scheduled to close on that particular day.
This detailed view includes the following columns:
- Province – Indicates the province associated with the file.
- Type – The type of the file.
- File No – The unique identification number of the file.
- Status – Shows the current status of the file.
- Law Clerk – Name of the law clerk assigned to the file.
- Lender - The financial institution or lender involved in the deal
- Date – The scheduled closing date of the file.
This pop-up helps users get a focused view of daily closings, improving planning and follow-up efficiency.
8.1 Filters in the Close View
In the Close View calendar, there's a filters panel located on the extreme right side of the screen. This filtering feature allows users to narrow down and refine the displayed results, making it easier to focus on specific data points.
There are three types of dropdown filters available in the filter panel.
Law Clerk Filter A dropdown list of all available law clerks. You can select one law clerk at a time. The calendar will then only display the closing files assigned to the selected law clerk.
Province Filter Contains a dropdown list of all provinces. Allows selection of one province at a time. Once selected, only the closing entries related to that province will be visible on the calendar.
File Type Filter A dropdown showing different types of files handled in the system. You can pick one file type to filter closings shown on the calendar accordingly.
At the end of the filters panel in the Close View calendar, there are two action buttons:
Apply Filters Once you have selected values from any of the dropdowns (Law Clerk, Province, or File Type), Clicking “Apply Filters” will:
- Apply your selected criteria.
- Update the calendar view to show results only matching the selected filters.
- This helps in narrowing down the view to the most relevant data.
Reset Filters If you click “Reset Filters”, it will:
- Clear all the selections you made from the dropdown filters.
- Reload the calendar view back to the default mode (i.e., showing all closings without any filters applied).
- This is useful when you want to remove filters quickly and view the complete, unfiltered data again.
These buttons ensure users can control and customize their calendar view smoothly and efficiently, enhancing the usability of the Close View feature.
9. Contacts
In the Rosy Admin Portal, there is a section called “Contacts” located right next to the “Close View” tab. This section serves as a comprehensive contact directory for the portal.
Purpose of the Contacts Module: The Contacts module is designed to provide quick access to all essential contact information stored within the application. It centralizes communication details for easier coordination and reference.
Key Features: The main screen displays a list of all contacts available in the system.
For each contact, the following details are shown:
- Full Name – The complete name of the contact person.
- Phone Number – The associated contact number.
- Email Address – The email used for communication or registration.
- Created Date – The date on which the contact was added to the system.
- Registered in Portal – Indicates whether the contact has an active registration in the Rosy Portal.
- IDV Status – Shows the status of identity verification (e.g., Verified / Pending / Not Started).
- Status in Portal – Indicates the contact’s engagement or activity level in the portal.
- Status – General status (e.g., Active, Inactive, or any other tag defined by the system).
- Actions – Provides admin users the ability to edit or delete the contact as needed.
This Contact module is designed to allow administrators to efficiently manage communication, track portal usage, and verify contact legitimacy. It is particularly useful for maintaining a clean, organized, and searchable contact database across the entire application.
In the Contacts view, the very first element located at the top right corner is a search bar. This search functionality allows you to quickly locate a specific contact by typing keywords such as the name, email address, or phone number.
This makes it easy to filter through a large number of contacts without manually scrolling, helping you find the exact record you're looking for efficiently.
Right next to the search bar, there is a “Export” button. When you click on this button, it instantly generates a CSV file containing the data currently visible on the screen.
This file is then automatically downloaded to your device, allowing you to keep a backup, share the contact list externally, or analyze the data in spreadsheet software like Excel. This feature is especially useful for reporting and administrative purposes.
9.1 New Contact
Next to the Export button, there is another button labeled “New Contact”. When you click on this button, a separate window opens up that allows you to create a new contact.
This window contains a form where the admin can enter all relevant contact details.
When the new window opens to create a contact, the first field in the form is related to the type of contact, labeled “Is Company”.
This field includes two radio button options:
- Individual – Select this if the contact is a personal client.
- Corporate Client – Select this if the contact is representing a company or organization.
Based on the selection, the rest of the form may adapt slightly to match the nature of the client, ensuring the appropriate information is collected.
If “Individual” is selected: The left side of the form displays fields specifically designed for individual clients:
- Salutation – A dropdown (e.g., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr.)
- First Name
- Middle Name
- Last Name
- Work Phone
- Extension (for work phone)
- Cell Phone
- Extension (for cell phone)
- Email Address
These fields ensure that all essential personal and communication details of the individual client are collected properly.
If Corporate Client is selected, the fields on the left side of the form will remain the same as in the Individual case, except that a “Company Name” field will be added at the top of the form.
The right side of the form remains the same for both Individual and Corporate Client types. This section includes the following fields:
- Date of Birth (DOB): A date picker is provided where the user can select their date of birth from a calendar.
- Gender: A dropdown menu allows the selection of gender.
- Address for Service: A text field to input the official address of the client.
- Job Title: The client’s professional designation or role.
- Industry: A dropdown or input field to specify the industry the client works in.
- Occupation: The client's specific job or profession.
- Banking Information: A section to input relevant banking details, if required.
Additionally, there are radio button options for: Canadian Resident: The user must select either Yes or No to indicate residency status. Receive Notifications: This option allows the user to choose whether or not they wish to receive notifications (Yes or No). Finally, the Client Type field allows the admin to categorize the contact by selecting one of the following options: (Axess Client/Guarantor/Investor)
At the end of the form, two action buttons are available:
Cancel: Clicking this button will close the form without saving any information, and the user will return to the main Contact List view.
Add: Clicking this button will save the entered information and create a new contact. The newly added contact will then appear in the contact list.
9.2 Update Contact
In the Contact List, clicking directly on a contact’s name opens a separate window that allows you to update that contact’s information.
This edit functionality is exclusively accessible by clicking on the name — clicking on any other field (e.g., phone number, email, or status) will not trigger the update window.
This design ensures that updates are intentional and controlled, minimizing the risk of accidental edits.
The update contact form mirrors the same structure and fields as the New Contact form.
- If you're editing an individual contact, the form will display fields specific to an individual.
- If you're editing a corporate client, the form will show the corresponding fields for a corporate client.
All fields within the form are editable. You can update any detail as required.
Once you've made the necessary changes, simply click the “Update” button at the end of the form.
All your modifications will then be saved successfully, and the updated information will reflect in the Contact List.
9.2.1 Add Report
When updating a contact, an additional option appears at the bottom of the form labeled “Add Report”.
This allows the user to attach or associate a report with the contact during the update process. It enhances the contact’s record by letting users add relevant documentation, notes, or follow-up details directly from the same window where the contact is being edited.
When you click on “Add Report”, a form titled “Report Form” opens up. This form is structured into two main sections:
Section 1: Basic Contact Details This section includes six fields for entering the personal information of the individual:
- First Name
- Middle Name
- Last Name
- Email
- Phone Number
- Date of Birth (with a calendar picker to select the date)
Section 2: Primary Identification Below the contact details, there's a sub-heading labeled “Primary Identification”, which includes five additional fields related to the individual's ID:
- Document Number – a text field to enter the ID number
- Document Type – a dropdown with options like Passport, Driver’s License, National ID, etc.
- Document Expiry Date – a calendar field to pick the expiration date
- Issuing Country – a dropdown or text field to mention which country issued the document
- Issuing Authority – the name of the authority/agency that issued the document
At the end of the Report Form, there are three action buttons:
Add Secondary Identification Clicking this button dynamically expands the form and adds a section under the heading “Secondary Identification”. This section includes five fields, identical to the Primary Identification section:
- Document Number – a text input for the secondary ID number
- Document Type – a dropdown with options like Passport, Driver’s License, National ID, etc.
- Document Expiry Date – a calendar picker to choose the expiry date
- Issuing Country – a field to specify the issuing country
- Issuing Authority – a field to enter the authority that issued the document
Next to the “Secondary Identification” heading, there is also a delete button, allowing you to remove this section if it's no longer needed.
Cancel If you click Cancel, the form will close without saving any data, and the “Add Report” option will reappear in the Update Contact window. You will remain on the same contact update screen, allowing you to take further actions if needed.
Save If you click Save, all the data entered in the Report Form (including Primary and Secondary Identification if added) will be saved successfully. The report will then be attached to the contact, and you will stay on the Update Contact window with the newly added report reflected in the interface.
10. Doc AI Center
The Doc AI Center allows users to import, review, and validate mortgage, lender, client, and property information extracted from uploaded documents using the SortSpoke API. This helps reduce manual data entry, ensures accuracy, and makes it easier to link documents to the correct file in Rosy.
10.1 Interface
Method 1: Uploading & Assigning New Documents
Use this method when new documents arrive and need to be linked to a file.
Step 1 – Upload Document
- Go to Portal → Doc AI Center.
- Upload the required document (e.g., mortgage package, client forms).
- The SortSpoke API will automatically read the document and extract key values (e.g., property address, lender name, client info).
- Extracted records appear in the Unassigned section.
Step 2 – Assign to File
In Unassigned, click Assign File.
A window opens showing extracted values, such as:
- Mortgage Terms – Principal, Term, Payment, Net Advance, etc.
- Lender Info – Name, Address, Contact.
- Client Info – Borrower, Guarantor, Investor details.
- Property Address – From AI extraction
The system also suggests Possible Matching Files.
Select the correct file and click Assign.
Possible Matching Files
- Based on the extracted data (borrower names, property address, lender info), AI compares with existing files in Rosy.
- If similarities are found, the system lists them under Possible Matching Files.
- This helps prevent the creation of duplicate files or assigning the same client/lender to multiple files incorrectly.
How to Use:
- Review the suggested files shown by the system.
- Compare the AI-Extracted Values with the existing file data.
- If details match → Select that file.
- If details don’t match (e.g., different borrower or property) → Do not select it, instead assign it to a new or correct file.
- Once confirmed, click Assign to finalize.
Method 2: Reviewing Ready-to-Import Data
Use this method when documents are already assigned and ready for validation.
Step 1 – Open Ready to Import
- In Doc AI Center, click Ready to Import.
- A table appears with columns: Search, Name, Finished On, File No, File Type, and Actions.
Step 2 – Compare Values
- In Actions, click Import Data.
- A 3-column comparison view opens:
- Field Name
- AI Extracted Value (from SortSpoke)
- Rosy Value (existing system data)
Step 3 – Choose Actions
- For each field, select one of the options:
- Add as New → Insert new extracted values.
- Replace Existing Value → Replace Rosy values with AI-extracted ones.
- Keep Rosy Value → If AI sends empty/null, the Rosy value stays.
Examples:
- Mortgage: If AI detects a new lender, it will be added unless the lender already exists in Rosy.
- Property: If AI sends a new address, you can choose to replace the old one. Null values will not overwrite existing Rosy data.
- Clients:
- If borrower email matches existing client → link to same client.
- If new → add as a new client.
- For guarantors and investors → AI data is added as new, or existing entries can be updated.
- Lawyers: AI extracts lawyer names, but you must select from Rosy’s registered lawyer list.
Method 3: Re-importing Completed Files
Use this method when a file has already been imported but requires corrections or updates.
Step 1 – Open Completed Section
- In Doc AI Center, go to Completed.
- A list view shows: Search, Name, Finished On, File No, File Type, Actions.
Step 2 – Re-import Data
- In Actions, click Re-import Data.
- The same comparison window opens (AI extracted data or Rosy data).
Step 3 – Finalize Updates
- Replace outdated values with new AI-extracted ones.
- Keep existing Rosy values where needed.
- This ensures completed files remain accurate and up to date.
10.2 Functionality
The integration of SortSpoke AI with the Doc AI Center directly impacts how users work with documents, assign files, and manage client and lender data. Below are the main functional impacts explained step by step:
1. Automated Data Extraction
- When users upload a document, the SortSpoke AI API automatically scans and extracts relevant fields.
- Extracted data includes:
- Mortgage Terms (Principal, Net Advance, Payment, Term, Dates, Interest Rate, etc.)
- Lender Details (Name, Address, Contact)
- File Property (from mortgage package)
- Client Details (Borrower, Guarantor, Investor info, Contact details)
- File Digest (Field name and date)
- This eliminates the need for manual entry of lengthy forms.
2. Unassigned Data Handling
- Extracted records first appear in the Unassigned section.
- Users can:
- Search unassigned docs by Name or Status (Finished / In-progress).
- Open a preview of AI Extracted Values.
- Assign the extracted data to the correct file using the Assign File feature.
3. Smart File Matching
- While assigning, AI suggests Possible Matching Files based on extracted details (e.g., borrower names, property addresses, or lender info).
- This reduces the chance of linking a document to the wrong file.
4. Intelligent Data Import
- In the Ready to Import or Re-import stage, AI data is compared with Rosy’s existing values in a side-by-side view:
- AI Extracted Value (from SortSpoke)
- Rosy Value (system value)
User Options:
- Add as New – Insert extracted data as a new entry.
- Replace Existing Value – Update Rosy with AI value (only when AI value is valid).
- Keep Rosy Value – Prevent overwriting, especially when AI sends a null/empty field.
5. Rules for Lenders
- If the lender extracted by AI already exists in Rosy’s Lender Table, it is not duplicated.
- If it does not exist, the new lender is added automatically.
- For mortgages, AI ensures that at least one lender is always linked to the file.
6. Rules for Clients (Borrower, Guarantor, Investor)
- Borrower:
- If the borrower’s email ID matches an existing client in Rosy, the system links them automatically.
- If not, a new client record is created.
- Guarantor:
- Always added as new entries unless already linked.
- Investor:
- Similar rules as borrowers; system checks email and prevents duplicates.
- Replacement Rule:
- Existing data can be replaced only if AI provides a non-null new value.
- Null values from AI will never overwrite Rosy data.
7. Property Data Management
- AI extracts Property Address, Condo/Collateral details, Jurisdiction.
- If Rosy already has a value:
- AI data can replace existing values if more accurate.
- If AI sends null → Rosy values remain untouched.
8. File Broker & Fees
- AI may extract Broker info and Fees.
- Extracted data is available for validation, but it cannot be overwritten directly with Rosy values.
- Users must manually confirm and update broker-related details if required.
9. Lawyer Information
- AI extracts the Lawyer’s Name from the document.
- In Rosy, lawyers exist as registered users.
- Users must select the correct Rosy Lawyer that matches the AI suggestion.
- This ensures system consistency and prevents duplicate lawyer records.
10. Province-Specific AI Models
- AI behavior adapts depending on the province:
- Ontario: Data is enriched using Teranet integration.
- Other provinces: Data is processed through SortSpoke extraction.
- This ensures higher accuracy for different regions.
11. File Digest Updates
- AI can update File Digest details such as:
- Intended File
- Closing Date
- Other transaction metadata
- These updates keep the file summary consistent and up to date
11. Files
In the Rosy Admin Portal, the “Files” section appears next to the Doc AI Center in the top navigation bar. This module is considered the core component of the entire platform, as it manages the heart of the application: real estate transactions.
The Files module is the most critical part of the Rosy Admin Portal. It is where all legal and transactional records related to real estate cases are created, managed, tracked, and updated throughout their lifecycle. These files represent individual client cases or property-related matters, and the system has been designed to support a wide variety of real estate transaction types.
Each file corresponds to a different type of transaction, which helps the system organize and manage legal workflows efficiently. The supported file types include:
- Mortgage
- Purchase
- Sale
- LDR Representation
- Transfer
- Change of Ownership
- Discharge
- Reverse Mortgage
- Survivorship
These categories cover a comprehensive range of real estate scenarios, from buying and selling properties to more complex legal matters like inheritance, refinancing, and title transfers.
Because each file contains sensitive, time-bound, and legally significant data, this module is deeply integrated with:
- Task management
- Calendar scheduling
- Document automation
- Contact and client communication
- Workflow approvals and tracking
The “Files” module ensures that every real estate transaction is properly documented, processed, and tracked—from initiation to completion—making it an indispensable tool for law clerks, lawyers, and back-office teams using the Rosy Admin Portal.
11.1 New File
Inside the Files module, the very first option you'll see is the “New File” button. This button allows users to initiate a new real estate transaction by navigating to the “Create File” form.
Clicking “New File” takes you to a dedicated form where you can input all necessary details to create a new file in the system. This could be for any type of real estate transaction, such as a mortgage, purchase, sale, transfer, or other legal matters.
In the “Create File” form, the structure and fields vary based on the selected transaction type.
The form begins with three key fields:
State/Province → This is a dropdown field where you can select the relevant province or territory in which the transaction is taking place (e.g., Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, etc.). It helps ensure the file is associated with the correct jurisdiction, as legal documentation and workflows often differ by region.
Source → Another dropdown field, used to select the source of the file. Selecting the source helps in tracking and reporting the origin of business leads.
External File → This is a text input field where the user can enter an external reference number (if available). This is typically used to store file IDs or reference numbers from outside systems (e.g., lender portals, client management platforms) for easy cross-referencing.
The next section of the Create File form is the Transaction Type selection.
This section contains a set of selectable options that have all supported real estate transaction types, such as:
- Mortgage
- Purchase
- Sale
- Transfer
- Discharge
- LDR Rep
- Change of Ownership
- Reverse Mortgage
- Survivorship
- Other
Below the Transaction Type section, the next part of the Create File form is the Client Details section. This section is straightforward and includes only one dropdown field: Client Details → This dropdown allows you to select a client from the list of all previously registered or existing clients in the system.
Once a client is selected, their basic information (like contact details, address, and email) may automatically populate in the backend or other sections of the file, depending on the configuration of the system.
The next section of the Create File form is the Documents section.
This section is dependent on two key inputs:
- Province (State/Region)
- Transaction Type
Until both the province and the transaction type are selected, this section will remain empty or inactive.
Once you select a province and a transaction type, the system dynamically loads a list of required documents that are relevant to that specific combination. For example → A Mortgage in Ontario may require different forms than a Purchase in British Columbia.
On the right side of the Create File form, there is a dedicated section that contains additional important details needed to finalize the file setup.
Here’s a breakdown of the fields in this section:
Property Details (Text Field) → This is a standard input field where the user can enter the address or description of the property involved in the transaction.
Closing Date (Calendar Field) → A date picker that lets you select the expected closing date for the transaction. This is a key detail that affects timelines and scheduling across departments.
Acting For (Dropdown) → This dropdown allows you to define whom the legal team is representing in the transaction. Options typically include:
- Borrower only
- Borrower and Lender
Referral Partner Information (Dropdown + Add Option) → A dropdown where you can select a referral partner if the file originated from an external source or agency. Next to the dropdown, there’s also an option to add a new referral partner on the spot if it doesn’t already exist in the system.
Special Comments (Text Field) → This is a free-text area where you can enter any additional instructions, notes, or context related to the transaction. It helps other team members understand specific concerns or requirements for this file.
Law Clerk (Dropdown) → Assign the file to a Law Clerk from the available list. Only one can be selected.
Lawyer (Dropdown) → Assign a supervising lawyer responsible for reviewing or signing off on the file.
Junior Clerk (Dropdown) → Optionally assign a junior team member to assist with document prep or follow-ups.
Lender (Dropdown) → Choose the lending institution involved in the file. This list is populated from the system’s lender database and ensures consistency in lender data.
At the very end of the Create File form, there is a “Create File” button.
Once all the required fields have been filled out, including transaction details, client selection, document requirements, property and referral information, and staff assignments, you can simply click on the “Create File” button.
As soon as you click it, the system processes all the provided information. If everything is valid, a new file is successfully created in the system. The file will then appear in the main Files module list and can be tracked, edited, and managed from there.
This action finalizes the setup of a new real estate transaction within the Rosy Admin Portal.
11.2 My Files
The second option in the Files menu is “My Files.”
The My Files section displays all the files that are specifically associated with the currently logged-in user. Whether the user is a Law Clerk, Lawyer, Junior Clerk, or Admin, they will only see the files that are assigned to them. This provides a personalized and focused view of responsibilities and ongoing tasks. It helps users manage their workload efficiently without being distracted by files that are not relevant to them.
Each file shown here contains key details such as:
- Province
- Type
- File #
- Clerk
- Clients
- Lawyer
- Address
- Opened
- Closing
- Days Left
- Last Modified
- Deal Stage
- Documents
- MI
- Lender
- External File #
- Portal
- Referrals
- Actions
This section plays a crucial role in helping team members stay organized and on top of their assigned transactions.
At the top-right corner of the My Files section, there is a search bar that allows users to locate specific files quickly. As you type, the list below filters in real-time, showing only the files that match the search criteria. This makes it easy and efficient to locate a specific file without having to scroll through the entire list.
Next to the search bar in the My Files section, there is an “Export” button.
When you click the Export button, the system generates a CSV file containing all the file data that is currently being displayed on the screen. This includes filtered results (if any) or the complete list of assigned files. The CSV file is then automatically downloaded to your device.
Next to the Export button in the My Files section, there is a “New File” button.
Clicking on the New File button takes the user directly to the Create File form. From there, users can start a new real estate transaction file by filling out all the required fields.
All details related to creating a new file are already thoroughly explained under section 11.1 – New File.
This shortcut ensures that users can easily add new files without navigating back to the main Files menu.
11.2.1 Filters
The My Files section also includes a Filters option, allowing users to narrow down the displayed data based on specific criteria. Users can apply multiple filters simultaneously to customize the view according to their needs.
In the Filters sidebar of the My Files section, the top area provides three key control options:
Save Filters → Allows users to save their current filter selections for future use. This is helpful if you often search using the same criteria—just save once and reuse anytime.
Reset Filters → Clears all the applied filters and resets the view back to default, showing all associated files.
Close Sidebar → Closes the filter panel without applying or changing anything, returning to the full-screen file list.
Below the top control buttons in the Filters sidebar of the My Files section, users are presented with several filtering fields to refine their search:
Status → Allows users to filter files based on their current status (e.g., open, closed, in-progress).
File Type → Filters files by transaction types such as Mortgage, Purchase, Sale, LDR Rep, Transfer, CH-Ownership, etc.
Provinces → Enables filtering based on the geographical region or province where the file is being processed.
Tasks → Filters files depending on the tasks associated with them, helping to narrow down by specific workflow stages.
Queue → Lets users filter files by queue category, organizing work by type or team.
Brokerage → Filters based on the brokerage firm associated with a particular file.
Conflicts → Helps in identifying files that are marked with conflict status for compliance or review.
Signing Agent → Allows filtering files according to the assigned signing agent, often used in closing and legal stages.
In addition to the dropdown and selection filters, the My Files sidebar also includes date-based filters to refine file searches by timeline:
Filter by Opening Date This filter helps users narrow files based on when they were opened.
It includes two calendar fields:
- Start Date
- End Date
Users can specify a custom range to view files opened within that period.
Filter by Closing Date Similar to the opening date filter, but focuses on when files are expected to or have been closed.
Also includes two calendar fields:
- Start Date
- End Date
Useful for tracking deadlines, planning reviews, or checking recent completions.
At the very end of the Filters sidebar in the My Files section, two action buttons control how filters are applied or cleared:
Set Filters → Clicking this button applies all the selected filters above. The file list will automatically update to display only the data that matches the selected criteria.
Reset Filters → This button clears all selected filters in one click. After resetting, the sidebar closes automatically, and the view returns to showing all available files without any filtering.
11.3 All Files
The third option under the Files menu is All Files.
This section displays every file that exists in the system, regardless of who it is assigned to. It includes:
- All files are assigned to different users
- Any files you have permission to view or access
Unlike My Files, which is limited to the current logged-in user’s associated files, All Files provides a more global view of the data within the application. It's especially useful for admins, managers, or supervisory roles who need visibility across all real estate transactions in the system.
Each file shown here contains key details such as:
- Province
- Type
- File #
- Clerk
- Clients
- Address
- Opened
- Closing
- Days Left
- Last Modified
- Deal Stage
- Documents

- When clicked, the system automatically picks the recipient’s email (e.g., Client or Referral).
- No need to manually re-enter the email address if it already exists in the file.
Portal Visibility
- Emails sent through this option are also visible in the Client Portal or Referral Portal (if that portal is enabled/selected).
Editing & Customization
- Users can edit the AI-generated reply before sending.
- Option to add a custom email address if needed.
Reply To:
New Email
- When a user generates a New Email from the portal:
- The email is sent from the Rosy account to the selected recipients.
- Recipients receive the email in their inbox.
- The email is also logged in the Communication section of the relevant portal(s).
Client & Referral Recipients:
- If the user wants the email and its replies to also appear in the Client Portal or Referral Portal, then these recipients must be explicitly selected from the available recipients list.
- If any custom email address is added, it will be treated as a custom recipient only (not shown in Client/Referral portals).
- Once Client or Referral recipients are selected, the email will also appear in the respective portal’s Communication section.
👉 Note:
- If a recipient replies to this email from their inbox, the reply handling process (described below) will be applied.
Reply (Inbox Reply)
- When a user replies from their email inbox (not using Reply All):
- The reply is first received by Rosy (replyto@axesslaw.com).
- Rosy checks the To field and forwards the reply to the correct recipients.
- The reply is logged in the Communication section of the portal(s).
- Recipients also receive the reply in their inbox.
- If another reply is made, the same cycle continues:
- Inbox reply → Rosy receives → Rosy checks → Forwards → Updates Communication section.
👉 Thread Creation Rule:
- Replies from the inbox will continue to build a thread in the Communication section.
- This loop will repeat as long as replies are sent from inbox.
Reply (Portal Reply or AI Reply)
- If a user replies directly from the portal communication section (Rosy) or uses the AI Reply function
- It is treated as a new email, not a reply to the last message.
- No thread is created for these replies.
- The email will appear in the Communication section as a new entry.
Reply All (Inbox)
- When a user clicks Reply All from their inbox:
- The user may receive duplicate emails because:
- One email comes directly (since the user is in the To field).
- Another email comes via Rosy (which forwards the message).
- This can result in users getting the same message twice.
- Only replies handled by Rosy are tracked in the Communication section.
- Direct replies that bypass Rosy are not tracked.
Threads
Old Threads
- Old threads created before the recent changes are not tracked in Rosy.
- Replies to those emails will not appear in the Communication section.
- New Threads (After Changes)
- To track communication properly, users must start a new thread directly from Rosy
- Communication.
Once a new thread is started:

12.1 Requisition
The Requisition module is designed to manage the internal documentation and data collection process necessary for initiating and processing a real estate transaction. It serves as a structured form where law clerks or administrative users input essential information required from clients, such as property details, mortgage instructions, identification documents, and any specific legal requirements tied to the deal. This module ensures that no crucial step or document is missed by presenting a standardized set of questions and file upload fields tailored to the type of transaction and jurisdiction (province). The form layout is dynamic; certain sections appear or change based on inputs like transaction type (purchase, sale, refinance) or whether the file involves a lender.
Once submitted, the requisition data becomes an integral part of the file's record and is accessible to authorized team members for review or action. This centralization supports collaboration between lawyers, law clerks, and administrative staff by providing a clear picture of what has been collected and what’s pending. Additionally, it helps streamline the legal workflow, reduce errors, and improve client communication, since the system can notify users of missing requisitions or incomplete data. The Requisition module acts as the foundation for moving a transaction file into active legal processing.
12.1.1 Requisition Template
The first feature within the Requisition module is the Requisition Templates, which can be accessed via the admin sidebar. Clicking on this option navigates the user to a dedicated templates screen where all existing requisition templates are listed. Each template includes key details such as its name, associated transaction type or province (if applicable), and its current status (active or inactive). This provides an at-a-glance view of all reusable templates created for different types of real estate transactions.
12.1.2 Add New
In the top-right corner of the Requisition Templates screen, there is an “Add New” button. Clicking on this button opens a form that allows users to create a new requisition template.
This functionality is especially useful for administrators who need to customize the information gathering process for different transaction scenarios. By using the Add New option, organizations can ensure that each template is tailored to suit specific needs, which enhances operational efficiency and reduces repetitive manual entry across files.

It centralizes financial operations, including the Statement of Account, Trust Ledger, Statement of Adjustments, Broker Commission calculations, and Unsecured Debts tracking. Each section provides a structured layout to input, view, and manage relevant data, ensuring compliance and accuracy in financial handling.
This feature allows legal teams to monitor and update client financials in real-time throughout the lifecycle of a transaction file.

The design supports the diverse accounting needs of a legal practice, aligning with Canadian legal standards and transaction workflows.

12.2.4 Statement Of Adjustment
The Statement of Adjustments section allows users to calculate the final amount payable at closing by accounting for the sale price, deposit, applicable adjustments, and credits. Below are the core functionalities and features available within this module.
1 Setting the Adjustment Date
- Specify date: Click on the date field to open the calendar and select the specific date you want to use for all calculations. This is typically the closing date of the transaction.
- Closing date: This option automatically uses the closing date of the file.
2 Adding a New Adjustment
To add a new adjustment, click the “Add New” button. A dropdown menu will appear with the following categories:
a. Taxes
Use this for real estate tax adjustments. You can input the total tax for a given year, specify a percentage increase, and indicate if the vendor has paid the taxes in full.
b. Common Expenses
Use this for prorating shared expenses, such as monthly condo or strata fees. Enter the total monthly amount, and the system will automatically calculate the vendor's share based on the adjustment date.
c. TENANCY > Current Rental Period
If the property has a tenant, use this to prorate the current month's rent. You will enter the start and end dates of the rental period and the total rent amount. The system will then calculate the credit due to the purchaser for any rent collected by the vendor for the period after closing.
d. TENANCY > Pre-Paid Rent
Use this for situations where a tenant has paid rent in advance beyond the closing date. You can specify the amount of pre-paid rent and whether the purchaser should receive credit with or without interest.
e. HST > Sale Price
Use this to calculate the HST payable on the total consideration of the property. You will specify the party to be credited and the HST percentage.
f. Other > Fixed Amount
This is a flexible option for any non-standard, one-time adjustment. Simply provide a heading and a description for the adjustment and the corresponding fixed amount.
g. Other > Prorated
This option is for custom prorated adjustments that are not covered by the other categories. It allows you to specify a custom period and amount.

This line shows the final total amount that needs to be paid into the law firm's trust account to complete the transaction.
12.2.5 Land Transfer Tax (LTT)
The Land Transfer Tax section allows users to input details required for calculating the applicable LTT based on transaction value and location, specifically tailored for residential property transactions.
1 Prepare LTT Affidavit To Be Executed By
Dropdown field to select who will execute the affidavit (e.g., Client, Lawyer).
2 LTT Rate Based On
This field is pre-set to “RESIDENTIAL (contains either 1 or 2 single-family residences)” by default and cannot be changed by the user.
3 Consideration Table
This section is used to input all financial components that contribute to the total consideration of the property. Each field is described below:
4 Consideration Details Table
This dropdown defines how the system calculates the value for field f (Value of subject to LTT) and field a (Monies paid or to be paid in cash). It determines the internal logic used for computing the Land Transfer Tax. The available options are:
- Calculate f by totaling a through e
- This option totals the values from fields a to e and assigns the result to field f.
- The amount in a equals the amount in f
- This option makes f equal to the value entered in a only, ignoring the other fields.
- Calculate a by subtracting b through e from f
- This reverses the logic: field a is automatically calculated by subtracting the values of b, c, d, and e from f.
5 LTT Refund Entitlement
This section checks for eligibility for a Land Transfer Tax refund, specifically in Ontario.
- Select “Yes” or “No” for Ontario refund eligibility.
- Enter the Percentage Claimed (e.g., 2.5%).

12.3.2 Generating the XML Data
Clicking this icon will generate the necessary XML data for your mortgage.
- URL Generation: The system will not prompt you for a file. Instead, it will generate a unique URL containing the XML data. A “Copied!” message will appear, confirming that this URL has been copied to your clipboard.
- Accessing the XML Code: Paste the copied URL into a new browser tab. This action will display the raw XML code, which contains all the mortgage information in the Teraview-compatible format.
12.3.3 Importing into Teraview Portal
Once you have the XML code displayed in your browser:
- Copy the XML: Select and copy all of the XML code from the browser tab.
- Paste into Teraview: Go to the Teraview Portal and paste this copied XML code into the appropriate section to import and process the mortgage information.
This process allows you to quickly and accurately transfer mortgage details from our system to the Teraview Portal without manual data entry.
12.3.4 Teraview Export via Doc Submission
This guide explains how to use the “Doc Submission” feature to prepare and export mortgage information for the Teraview Portal. This process ensures all necessary data is complete before export, preventing errors in the Teraview system.

Navigate to the “Doc Store” and select the “Doc Submission” tab. This is where you will manage and prepare the documents for external portals like Teraview.
12.3.6 Exporting via XML View
This method is ideal for a quick copy-and-paste into the Teraview Portal.
- Validate Data: Before generating the XML, the system performs a validation check. If any required fields are missing, a list of these fields will be displayed as a red-highlighted alert. You must fill in all of the listed fields before you can proceed with the export.
- Generate and View XML: To begin, click the view icon (an eye symbol) in the “Actions” column next to the document you want to export. This action will open a pop-up window displaying the raw XML code.
- Copy and Paste: Select and copy the entire XML code from the pop-up window. Then, go to the Teraview Portal and paste the code into the appropriate section to import the data.
12.3.7 Exporting via XML Download
This method is useful if you prefer to work with a physical file.
- Validate Data: Similar to the view option, the system will first check for any missing required fields. If an alert appears, you must fill in the necessary information before you can download the file.
- Download XML File: To download the file, click the download icon (an arrow pointing down) in the “Actions” column next to the document. The system will download a Teraview-compatible XML file directly to your computer.

- When a file is created, the system checks the File Type and automatically matches it with the corresponding quote template configured in the Quotes module.
Special Pricing for Referral Clients
- In the Referrals section, users can set Special Pricing 1 and Special Pricing 2 for each referral.
- When creating or updating a referral file, the system applies the correct special pricing tier and fetches the matching quote template based on the file type and assigned pricing level.
Automated Quote Population in Referral Files
- Once a referral file is created, the quote section is automatically populated with the correct referral quote template.
- This eliminates manual selection and ensures the referral’s agreed pricing is always applied.
Quotation Delivery for Referrals
- The populated quote is used to generate a quotation document.
- This document can be previewed, edited if required, and sent directly to the referral or client from within the file.
