Learn how the Client Portal request section works within an opportunity in Mercury Nexus and how each component supports your client workflow.
Use this guide to understand how the Client Portal request section works within an opportunity. This section allows you to manage all client-facing requests, including document sharing, digital signatures, financial data collection, questionnaires, and document collection.
This article explains what each area does. Separate guides will cover step-by-step instructions for each section.
Viewing Client Portal Requests Within an Opportunity
The Client Portal section displays all requests linked to the opportunity.
You will see a table showing:
Request name
Contacts included on the request
Completion percentage
From this table, you can:
Double-click to open the full Client Portal request record
Delete a request
Understanding the side navigation within a Client Portal request
When you open a Client Portal request, a side navigation panel appears on the left.
This panel allows you to move between different sections of the request and manage its configuration and progress.
The side navigation includes:
Basic Settings and Reminders – Manage request name, contacts, expiry and reminders.
Request Builder – Configure what the client must complete.
Request Overview (coming soon) – High-level summary of request progress.
Review Returned Docs (coming soon) – View documents submitted by clients.
Activity (coming soon) – View the request history and key actions.
Each section controls a different part of the Client Portal workflow and is explained in detail below.
Using the toolbar
The toolbar allows you to manage the request lifecycle.
From here, you can:
View the current status
Close the Client Portal request
Preview the Client Portal (excluding DigiSign documents)
Send the request to clients
Basic Settings and Reminders
This section controls the core settings of the Client Portal request.
Naming the request
You can update the name of the request at any time. Use clear naming conventions, especially if you are creating multiple requests within one opportunity.
Selecting contacts
You choose which contacts from the opportunity are included in the request.
Only selected contacts will:
Receive notifications
Access the request
Complete assigned sections
Expiry date
Every request must have an expiry date.
By default, the system sets this to two weeks from the creation date.
After the expiry date:
The client link is disabled
Clients can no longer access the request
Important
If a request expires, you must update the expiry date or create a new request before the client can continue.
Understanding the Request Builder
The request builder controls what the client sees and completes.
Modules are displayed in the order the client will complete them:
Documents to share
DigiSign
Client details and financials
Questionnaires
Document requests
You can configure each module before sending the request.
Documents to share
Use this section to provide documents to your clients.
You can upload documents from:
Your device
Opportunity attachments
Admin > General documents
This is useful for sharing:
Credit guides
Fact sheets
Lender documents
DigiSign
Use DigiSign to request electronic signatures.
The documents available for signing are sourced from the opportunity attachments.
Clients complete signatures directly within the Client Portal.
Note
DigiSign documents cannot be previewed from the Client Portal preview function.
Client Details and Financials
This module allows you to collect structured data from clients.
You can control which sections are included in the request.
Personal details
Personal information
Address history
Employment history
Financials
You can request:
Properties and mortgages
Assets
Debts
Support payments and other income
Living expenses
You can also control which applicant completes the financials.
This ensures you only collect relevant data and avoid unnecessary duplication.
Questionnaires
You can add a questionnaire to the request.
You control which sections the client must complete before submitting.
This is commonly used for:
Preliminary assessments
Product-specific questions
Compliance declarations
Document Requests
Use this section to request supporting documents from clients.
You can:
Add a document request template
Add an individual document
Update the name and description
Choose who must provide the document (one applicant, both, or shared)
Mark documents as optional
Request multiple documents within one card
This allows you to tailor document collection to the application type.
