The application PDF contents are edited at a property level by the user. For example, if the manager doesn't have the owner/agent, unit, screening charge, or any other box checked-off and saved under Edit Forms, then it won't show up in the PDF--- which is what the applicant applies their signature to online and what shows when printed.
Instructions for OR/WA Application
Relevant to Multifamily NW Application forms:
- M002 Rental Application & Criteria (Not Portland) (OR)
- M502 Rental Application & Criteria - Standard Financially Responsible (Portland)
- M503 Rental Application & Criteria - Standard Non-Financially Responsible (Portland)
Quick Instructions:
The PDF application contents are set per property, per application/form# by selecting a unit >> Forms & Docs >>Select form >> Edit.
This PDF application will be presented to the applicant online when they get to the signature process. Once the application has been submitted, it can be viewed in Residents >> Applications >> Print Application PDF.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Go to Residents, and select the a unit. The selected unit be highlighted yellow.
2. While the resident is selected, go to Forms & Docs >> Print for a Single Unit.
3. Select the Rental Application. This will either be Form# M002, M502, or M503 (depending on the property location). Click on Edit Forms.
4. Use the checkboxes to select or de-select the options you want to be reflected in the PDF. The appearance of this screen may vary, depending on which application form is being used.
*NOTES:
- The selections made here will be set for the property, NOT for each unit. For this reason, it is suggested to omit unit-specific information, such as unit#, unit rent, etc. This will allow the PDF to apply to all the units within the property, rather than only one unit, which would require continuous updates.
- Some of the options are pulling information from the Property Settings and Unit Detail. For example, you will see that you can select the box next to "property name", but you are unable to type the name on the Edit screen. This is because the property name will be populated from the information in the Property Settings.
5. Once you have checked/unchecked the desired boxes, click View Forms located at the top of the page. You will then see the PDF application. The settings will be saved, and you can verify the information is correct. If not, simply go back to Edit Forms to update.
*Note: If information is missing, double-check that specific box is selected by going back to "Edit Forms". If the information is showing incorrectly, you may need to reach out to your Portfolio Manager who has user privilege levels to edit Property Settings and Unit Details.
