Credits - Add New Statement of Credit

 

Before a new Statement of Credit can be added, a PDF template must be created in a tool such as Adobe Acrobat. The template should include form fields in all locations that will need to pull in data from the credit profile.

When the PDF template is created, each form field that is used must be titled to exactly match the field names above. The fileds must also be set as "visible" and can be formatted with the approprate font style and size. The form fields need to be sized to accomodate the text that will be shown on the Statement of Credit.

To add a new Statement of Credit after creating the PDF template:

  • Enter a title and any applicable notes for internal administrators.
  • Select the saved PDF template from a local drive and click Upload.

Each valid form field on the template will be recognized and marked with a checkmark  as Found. All fields that are not used on the template will be marked as Not Found and any fields that do not contain a valid title will be marked as Unknown.
