Transflo Factor AI Admin Guide

As an administrator, you can create, update, and delete users in your SaaS instance of the Transflo Workflow AI for Factors platform. Typically, each user has their own unique e-mail address and password; however, it is possible to share login credentials. For example, ten (10) users log in as billing-team@email.test with a common shared password.

1. Click Settings in the left navigation pane.

2. Click the Users tile.

   

3. On the Users list, you can set the columns, sort order, and specify search filters. These features work the same standard way on all lists in the application. To avoid creating duplicate entries, search for a name or e-mail address before you add a new one to verify the user is not already created. To create a new user, click + Create.

   

4. Complete the User Details page:

   1. Name: Enter the first and last name of the user including any optional conventions such as title, middle initial, or suffix.

   2. Email: Enter the e-mail address for the user.

   3. Password: Enter a password for this user. Follow the on-screen password requirements.

   4. User Roles: Assign one or more roles to this user. The Permissions field values are set by the system.

   5. Click Submit.

      

5. The new user appears in the list.

6. To edit a user, click Options on the right and choose Edit. Make your changes and then click Submit.

   

7. To remove a user, click Options on the right and choose Delete. To confirm, click Yes, delete user.

   

   

   Tip: As a best practice when employees separate from your organization, change their password, but allow the user account to remain in place for historical data integrity for up to 90, 180, or 365 days in case of any audit, finance, accounting, data retention, or legal discovery policies in place at your organization or maintained by your clients.

    

8. Users can typically reset their own passwords on the Login screen; however, a user can also contact you as their admin to have you change their password. Enter a new password in the New Password field and click Submit. To protect the new password, send it to the user in an encrypted e-mail or chat message. (For example, chat messages in Microsoft Teams are encrypted in transit and at rest in Microsoft data centers using industry standard technologies such as TLS and SRTP.)

   

As an administrator, you can set up one or more e-mail templates for your business users to sent to clients to resolve issues with work item documents.

1. In Workflow AI for Factors, click Settings in the left navigation pane.

2. Click E-mail Templates.

   

3. In the list of templates, click + Create.

4. Complete the E-mail Template setup form:

   1. Title: Enter an internal name for the template to help identify it to your users.

   2. Subject: Enter a subject line or portion, prefix, or suffix that you want clients to see when they receive the e-mail from users about work items that need their attention or response.

   3. Email Body: Enter a greeting, short description, and closing for the client.

   4. Document Types: Select one or more document types that should be included as attachments when users send their e-mail to the client.

      

   5. Next Status: After sending e-mail about a work item using this template, you can set an optional queue for the work item. Set the next logical queue in your process or leave this field blank to keep the work item in its current status. For example, to resolve missing information that requires a response from a client, you can send the URGENT Client Request: Please Reply ASAP template shown below. This template routes the work item to the Paused status.

      

   6. To merge documents: As a convenience to clients, users can merge multiple e-mail attachments into one PDF. As an administrator, you can make document merging the default behavior for all future users of this template. To make merging to one PDF the default, select this check box. Users with permissions can clear the setting when they prepare their client email if they need to revert to sending multiple attachments.

   7. Click Submit.

      

5. Your new e-mail template appears in the list of templates.

   

6. Verify your new template works as expected when your business users open a work item and click Email Client. To learn more, see Send E-Mail to Resolve a Work Item.

   

7. (Optional) You can set the columns, sort order, and specify search filters. These features work the same standard way on all lists in the application.

   

8. To edit or delete a template, click Options on the right and choose Edit or Delete. As a best practice, wait until a scheduled maintenance window to avoid interrupting other users of the template during business hours.

3. Select the check boxes for one or more deleted work items in the list.

   

4. Click the Actions button and choose one of the following options:

   • Approve: This option appears only for business users with approval rights; however, it is possible a super-admin user might be granted rights to approve, typically for troubleshooting or testing purposes.

   • Restore: Choose this option to restore a work item that a business user previously marked as DELETED. The item reverts to the status it was in before it was deleted.

   • Delete: Choose this option to truly delete or purge the work item.

     

     Note: In most configurations, super-admins do not need to purge deleted items. When users delete work items, they are temporarily placed in DELETED status until the system retention schedule actively removes them. For example, they are automatically purged in 30, 60, or 90 days.
