Quick Start
This guide walks an organization admin through the first-time setup of AMS.
1. Sign in
Sign in via Keycloak (OIDC). First-time users are onboarded automatically — a personal workspace and default team are created on first login.
2. Create or join an organization
From your personal workspace, navigate to Organizations and either:
- Create a new organization (you become OWNER)
- Accept an invitation to join an existing org
Creating an org automatically creates:
- A default organization workspace
- A default team
- A clients team
- Your public org profile (synced from private profile)
3. Invite team members
In your organization workspace → User Management:
- Go to Users & Invitations
- Send email invitations; assign roles (ADMIN, MANAGER, MEMBER)
- Manage teams under Teams & Members
4. Invite clients
Navigate to Clients → Client Invitations:
- Send email invitation to clients
- Clients accept the invitation, create their account, and set up their profile
- Once active, clients appear in your clients list
5. Set up document definitions
Go to Application Setup → Documents:
- Create document definitions (e.g. "Passport", "Tax Return", "Income Statement")
- Optionally upload admin template files for each definition (e.g. standard forms)
6. Create an application template
Go to Application Setup → Templates:
- Create a template (e.g. "Mortgage Application 2026")
- Assign document definitions with required/optional overrides
- Define custom statuses and transitions
- Optionally build a workflow with automated steps
7. Create an application
Go to Applications → New Application:
- Select the template
- Fill in basic details (title, description, type)
- Add applicants (link to client profiles)
- Review assigned document slots
- Submit to create the application
8. Process the application
On the application detail page:
- Documents tab — review uploaded files, approve or reject
- Messages tab — communicate with clients (external) or internally with staff
- Applicants tab — manage applicant details
- Decision tab — record the final decision
- Workflow tab — track progress through workflow steps
