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.
