Feature Redesign: Stipulation Manager
Company: Forward Financing

Project Background

  • In the process of applying for an advance, Customer submits a set of required documents needed to start processing the application

  • Documents are reviewed/handled by different teams (Prequalification, Processing, Sales, Closing, Underwriting)

  • All groups have access to Salesforce as the source of truth for any Customer information

  • Business decision was made to remove Salesforce access for user groups that primarily work in other applications (Prequalification, Processing, Underwriting, Closing)

My Role

My role was to redesign the current Stipulation Manager into an independent component that can be used in any other application. 

Design Process

Design Considerations

  • Five distinct groups with distinct sets of functions will use the component

    • Prequalification team: upload documents, preview, delete

    • Processing team: upload documents, assign tag(s), preview, delete

    • Underwriting team: upload documents, review, download, assign themselves as reviewers, accept/reject a document, request a new document, add notes to a document, sign off on all documents

    • Closing team: upload documents, review, download, assign themselves to a document, assign a status to a document, accept documents

    • Sales team: upload documents, preview documents, view stipulation status

  • The current system cannot serve custom UI

    • The information needs to be arranged in such a way to serve each of the five groups in an effective way without much customization

  • Features that existed in Salesforce need to be transferred to the new component

  • Application processing is mostly linear 

    • The features of the component will build up as the stages of the application advance through the flow

  • Enhanced Stipulation Manager will be embedded in an iFrame

  • Any modals can only take up the size of an iFrame (iFrame cannot control it’s parent window)
