User Setup
A user with administrator rights must enable the appropriate licenses for each user who wants to use the integration (for more information, see User Accounts - User Rights Content Link). A user can have one or both licenses, depending on the features the user needs to access.
- Docupace Client Folder: This license allows the user to access clients' Docupace folders directly from SmartOffice.
- Docupace ePACS: This license allows the user to export SmartOffice contact data to Docupace Quick Start for form filling.
Data Setup
Contact records in SmartOffice must have a first name, last name and Social Security number before they can be used with this integration. Business records must have a business name and Tax ID. Ensure that all contact and business records in SmartOffice have this information.
Docupace Setup
As you begin using the integration as described in the following sections, you may encounter the Docupace Setup page.
Complete the setup page as follows:
- Docupace ID: This is the user name you normally use to log in to Docupace. If you don't know this information, contact your broker-dealer or Docupace.
- Docupace URL: To get the correct URL for this field, take the web address you normally use to access Docupace (example: https://www2\.paperout.com/example\_ui) and replace the "\_ui" portion at the end with a forward slash (example: https://www2\.paperout.com/example/). For additional help, contact SmartOffice Technical Support.
- Skip this screen and use the above Docupace URL by default: Select this option to bypass the Docupace Setup page the next time you use the integration.
Important: Leave this option unchecked if you are entering your Docupace ID and Docupace URL for the first time. If you select this option enter your Docupace ID or URL incorrectly, you will have to contact SmartOffice Technical Support to correct the issue. It is recommended that you select this option only after you have successfully accessed Docupace from SmartOffice at least once.
- Do not create subfolders for investment accounts and policies option: By default, SmartOffice creates subfolders in a client's Docupace client folder for investment accounts and policies. To prevent this, select this option.
Using the Integration
Accessing a Docupace Client Folder from SmartOffice
You can open a client's Docupace folder directly from that client's SmartOffice contact record, investment account record or policy record. If a client folder does not exist for that contact in Docupace, SmartOffice automatically creates one.
- Search for a SmartOffice contact, business, investment account or policy.
- In the list of search results, select the record (or open the record).
- Select Menu \> Integrations \> Docupace Client Folder.
- If the Docupace Setup page appears, enter the requested information (for more information, see Docupace Setup).
- If no client matching the SmartOffice contact is found in Docupace, the Docupace Rep List opens. Select the appropriate rep from the list.
The Docupace client folder opens.
Prefilling Forms in Docupace
Follow these steps to export SmartOffice contact data into Docupace Quick Start for form filling.
- Search for a SmartOffice contact or business.
