When an advisor launches the Docupace Starting Point either from the Docupace system or from a 3rd party CRM integration, a wizard opens and guides them through a step-by-step process to help determine the required form set of forms to complete the paperwork.

Based on the advisor’s answers, the system assembles the appropriate forms into a packet (Work Item) for the advisor to fill out and process. Depending on the pre-defined workflow, the advisor can then either print the forms for a client's wet signature (and subsequent imaging back into Docupace) or process the work completely electronically (eSign).

The first question in the Starting Point “What do you want to do?“ shows the user a list of actions to choose from. Each of these actions matches a Request Group entry. For the Request Group to appear on this screen, you must define at least one Forms Matrix entry.

Creating a Forms Matrix Entry

You can configure the Starting Point logic in the Forms Matrix (338) domain. A Forms Matrix entry defines the steps and options included in the Starting Point wizard. It also lists forms that will be bundled into the Work Items when the advisor goes through the Starting Point steps.

To set up a new set of questions and the corresponding bundle of forms:
