How to find the Products?

This function is integral for users who need to tailor financial products to specific markets or regulatory requirements.

  2. Select the Working Environment.
  3. Click on the Woking menu.
  4. Select the Products.

Note: This area showcases all previously created Products and the option to initiate new Products.

To initiate a new financial product, click on the “Create New Product” button. This will open a template where you can input essential details and configure forms according to the product’s needs.

How to Create a New Product

Go to the Prospect Module and select the Working Environment. Click on the Woking menu and select the Products.

  1. Click on the ‘Create Product’ button.
  2. Add a unique descriptive Name to the Product.
  3. You can implement a Description that can summarize the purpose of the product.
  4. Select a Blueprint from which you can choose Forms to drag into your product. You can also switch the Product Blueprint from here, allowing you to interchange Forms to meet your specific requirements.
  5. Optionally, you can tick the checkbox to create a product for testing purposes.
  6. Navigate to the Product Forms to view the forms contained within the selected Blueprint.

Product Forms Sidebar menu

In the Product Forms section, you have the flexibility to choose from existing forms included in the selected Blueprint. Simply drag and drop them to the left side and arrange them to suit your preferences. By positioning a form slightly to the right under an already added form (nesting it under the other form), you create dependencies. This means that the display of a secondary form is contingent upon the user’s selection of the primary form. You can create a hierarchy by setting dependencies up to three layers deep, offering you greater customization and control.

  1. Click the arrow next to each Form Type to see the available Forms within.
  2. Pick the Forms you want to include in your Product. 
  3. Just drag and drop them onto the left side. Remember, you can add multiple Forms.
  4. Drag & drop Forms to craft multi-level workflows, nesting them under each other to build hierarchies for a seamless user experience!
  5. If needed, delete Forms from the Product. Be aware that deleting a main Form also removes its nested ones.
  6. After making all your changes, click ‘Save‘ to ensure your updated Product is ready.

Note: After the initial product creation, it is imperative to populate the product with specific details to generate a document. 

Additional Information:
Forms are sorted by Form Type and can be repositioned within the product architecture through a drag-and-drop interface. The sequence established here will dictate the ensuing product’s layout. 
Attention: Only Blueprints that are ‘Live’ are displayed during product creation.
