Watch our training video or read this article to learn how to manage documents in BindHQ.
There are three sections to this article
- Navigating the Documents tab
- Viewing System Generated Documents
- Uploading a Document
- Deleting a Document
There are two document types in BindHQ:
- System-Generated - Documents that are automatically created in the system and are housed in specific areas to pull the most current data each time they are generated (for example, quotes, binders, and invoices).
- Manually Uploaded - Documents associated with a policy, application, or other entity that are manually uploaded and stored in the system.
Navigating the Documents Tab
- Open an Application, Policy, Carrier, or Agency page to view all items associated with that account
- The Documents tab houses all documents (system-generated and manually uploaded) related to the account.
The Documents tab is split into three panes:
Left Pane
By default, all documents associated with the account display. You can use the tabs on the left to select a specific document type (for example, Application) to view.
Middle Pane
The middle pane displays all documents associated with the selected section in reverse chronological order. Use the checkboxes to select one or more documents, then click With These Files… and select an option:
- Delete them - The system removes the document(s) from the Documents tab, but note that for auditing purposes, documents are never truly deleted (they are simply removed from visibility).
- Email them to me - The system emails the document(s) to you.
- Send them to market (Application)/Send them to the carrier (Policy) - The system sends the document(s) to each market or carrier separately, then opens a conversation on the Conversations tab and creates a system-generated task.
On the right, you can click the icons to download a document, edit a document’s name, folder, and tags, delete a document, or drag the document to a folder on the left to store it there. - At the bottom, click Upload or drag and drop a document to upload it to the Documents tab.
To edit a document, click Edit Files in the upper right corner of the pane. For more details on how you can use the edit feature, see our article on PDF Editing.
Right Pane
- Select Filter to filter the documents by name or by tag(s).
- Tags also help you manage required documents; any required documents have red tags that turn green when the document is received.
- Select Required Documents to view any required documents.
