Integrations - Laser App Anywhere


Overview


The Laser App Anywhere integration for SmartOffice lets users export contact data from SmartOffice into Laser App Anywhere, the web-based version of Laser App's form-filling software (an integration with Laser App's desktop software is also available). By leveraging the user's existing data in SmartOffice, the integration dramatically reduces the amount of time needed to fill out Laser App forms.


For more information about Laser App Anywhere, visit www.laserapp.com.


Requirements


To use the Laser App Anywhere integration, a user must have a Laser App Anywhere account (available from Laser App Software).


Setup


This section describes the initial user an data setup required for the Laser App Anywhere integration. For additional assistance with setup, contact SmartOffice Technical Support.


User Setup


A SmartOffice user with administrator rights must enable the integration for each SmartOffice user who will be using it (learn more about user licenses).


  1. Sign in to SmartOffice Pro.
  2. Do one of the following:
  • If you are setting up the integration for the user account your are currently signed in to, click the profile menu in the upper-right corner, and then select Profile \& Settings Image from base_button_profile_settings.png.
  1. With the user account record open, click the User Rights content link.
  2. In the Licenses column, select the following:
  • Advisor Contract/License Management under SmartPolicies
  • Laser App Anywhere under Integration
  1. Select Menu \> Save.

SmartOffice Data Setup


SmartOffice exports specific contact record fields to create the client, spouse and beneficiary data that Laser App Anywhere needs to fill forms. For best results, ensure that contact data is entered accurately and consistently in SmartOffice. See Field Mappings for a complete list of the fields that SmartOffice exports and the corresponding fields in Laser App Anywhere.


Important: To be exported to Laser App, a SmartOffice contact record must have at least six fields populated that can be mapped to Laser App. Two of those fields must be First Name and Last Name. If the contact is linked to a spouse in SmartOffice, the six fields can be from the contact or the spouse (for example, four fields from the contact and two fields from the spouse), but the contact must still have the First Name and Last Name fields populated.


Filling Forms


After performing the appropriate setup steps, users can fill forms using the Laser App Anywhere integration by following the instructions in this section.


Exporting Data from SmartOffice

  1. If the page is missing information required for a particular form or forms, add that information manually.
  2. Click the tabs on the left (Spouse, Beneficiaries, etc.) to verify and enter any additional required information in those sections.

Note: Any additional data entered on these pages is available only during the current Laser App Anywhere session. It is not saved when Laser App Anywhere is closed.


Once client data is correct and complete, return to the Dashboard page in Laser App Anywhere and select a form to fill from the Forms menu on the left side of the page.


For detailed information about filling out forms, refer to Laser App Anywhere's help documentation.
